Güde 3T Car Jack Stands – Set of 2, Height 288–425 mm, Weight 6.8 kg
The car jack stand is an essential safety tool. Unlike a jack, which lifts the vehicle, the jack stand supports and secures the load while work is being carried out. Together, they form the essential pair: the jack lifts + the stand supports.
Fundamental safety rule in the workshop:
Never leave a vehicle supported only by a jack.
The Güde set of 2 jack stands offers:
- 3-ton capacity per stand – Suitable for medium-sized cars and light vans, up to 2000 kg per axle. The set of 2 provides a total capacity of 6 tons
- 3 height positions – 288 mm minimum, 356 mm medium, 425 mm maximum. Simple adjustment without screws
- Solid 195 × 180 mm base – Excellent stability on flat surfaces. The wide surface reduces sinking
- Foldable and compact – Weight 3.4 kg per stand, 6.8 kg per set, folds away for storage in the workshop or van
- GS TÜV certification – Compliant with European safety standards, welded construction tested by TÜV Süd
Who chooses it:
- Auto workshops and tyre service centres handling heavier loads – Together with a jack, the 3T jack stands cover medium-sized cars and light vans. The 3-ton capacity is ideal for vans up to 2500 kg gross weight
- Motorcycle workshops and auto parts businesses – For lifting heavy scooters, 350–500 kg, and stabilising them during maintenance. The 288–425 mm height allows comfortable positioning
- Construction sites and temporary maintenance work – For blocking and stabilising temporary loads over 2 tons, structural elements and light machinery during work
- Logistics and handling companies – For blocking heavy pallets or European containers during loading/unloading and temporary storage operations

Who the Güde 3T car jack stand set is suitable for
| Profile |
Suitable? |
Reason |
| Hobby user / private garage |
Suitable |
3T capacity per stand exceeds typical home needs, such as light cars up to 1500 kg per axle. For light cars, the 2T model is sufficient and less expensive. |
| Tyre service centre / medium-sized auto workshop |
Ideal |
3-ton capacity covers medium-sized cars and light vans. Standard for workshops specialized in vans. Maximum height of 425 mm allows comfortable positioning. GS certification ensures INAIL compliance. |
| Construction site / temporary maintenance |
Ideal |
For blocking loads up to 3 tons during work, the jack stand provides excellent stability. Moderate weight and compactness make transport between workstations easier. |
Not suitable for: Light vehicles, such as compact cars under 1200 kg – choose the 2T set; very uneven or soft ground, as even the wide base has limits; continuous use as a permanent support, since it is intended for temporary use.

Frequently asked questions
What is the maximum capacity per jack stand?
3 tons (3000 kg) per single jack stand. The set includes 2 pieces for a total capacity of 6 tons. For vans up to 2500 kg gross weight, the 3T jack stand provides a good safety margin. For heavier loads, consider the 5T model per stand.
Can I use only one jack stand instead of two?
No. Jack stands must always be used in pairs for stability and safety. A single stand does not provide sufficient balance and may cause the load to tip over. The safety rule is: always use 2 jack stands, one for the front axle and one for the rear axle.
Are the 3 height positions 288–425 mm sufficient?
Yes, for most jobs. The 3 positions, 288 mm, 356 mm and 425 mm, cover typical working heights in auto workshops and for vans. If an intermediate height is required, use hardwood blocks under the jack stand, never on top of the stand itself.
Is the jack stand easy to fold and transport?
Yes. It weighs 3.4 kg per piece, with a total set weight of 6.8 kg. Folding is quick and simple. It is easy to transport in a workshop van or private garage. It is standard equipment that every workshop or hobby user keeps available.
How long does a Güde 3T jack stand last under regular use?
The declared service life is over 15 years under normal use. The welded steel construction and GS certification ensure reliability. With minimal maintenance, such as an annual inspection for corrosion, the jack stand does not deteriorate significantly.
Can the jack stand remain under a lifted vehicle all day?
Yes. Unlike a jack, which must not remain under load for days, the jack stand is designed to keep the load stabilised for hours. However, during long jobs, it is recommended to check the system every 2–3 hours.
What is the difference between 2T and 3T jack stands?
2T: 2-ton capacity, height 278–366 mm, 3.2 kg set weight, ideal for light cars. 3T: 3-ton capacity, height 288–425 mm, 6.8 kg set weight, ideal for medium-sized cars and light vans. Both have GS TÜV certification.
Is the jack stand certified for professional workshop use?
Yes. GS TÜV Süd certification and INAIL compliance ensure that the jack stand is suitable for continuous professional use in certified workshops. It is standard equipment required by Italian safety regulations.
