Heavy-duty jacking and inspection stands are designed for light to heavy vehicles across various industries. Supporting up to 100 tonnes, with options for hydraulic adjustment available for Australia.
A good jacking stands is the difference between a safe workshop and a serious accident waiting to happen. At OEM Group, our JACKRITE jacking stands range is built for light vehicles right through to heavy mining and transport equipment, with models supporting up to 100 tonnes. These are heavy-duty stands made for real Australian workshops, not light-duty units that flex or fail under load. Whether you need a single fixed-height stand or a full set of hydraulic adjustable stands for a busy workshop, we can match you with the right jack stand and back it with local service and support.
This page keeps it simple. We walk you through how to choose the right stand, what makes a quality jack stand worth the money, and how to buy or service one through our WA-based team. No jargon, no filler — just what you need to make a safe, smart choice.
Not every jack stand suits every job. A pair of stands built for a light commercial vehicle won’t hold up under a haul truck axle, and a heavy 100-tonne stand is more than you need for general workshop work. Three things decide which stand is right for you: load capacity, height and adjustability, and how the stand moves around your workshop. Get these three right and you’re left with a stand that’s actually safe to work under.
This is the one you can never guess on. A jack stand has to hold the full weight of the vehicle or component safely, with a solid margin to spare.
Always check the rated capacity of the stand against the actual weight it will carry, not just what feels about right. Under-rating a stand is the single biggest safety risk in any workshop.
Fixed-height stands are simple, strong, and built for one job at a set height. They suit workshops that mostly work on the same type of vehicle or component. Hydraulic adjustable stands give you a range of heights from a single unit, which saves space and cost if your team works across different vehicles and jobs. If your workshop handles a mix of light and heavy equipment, a hydraulic adjustable stand is usually the better long-term investment.
A stand that’s easy to move safely is a stand that actually gets used properly. Look for stands with forklift and trolley pick-up points, so your team isn’t manhandling heavy steel around the workshop floor. Trolley-mounted stands are worth considering if you’re repositioning stands often across a busy bay, while fixed stillage-style stands suit sites where the stand stays in one place for extended jobs.
There’s a real gap between a cheap stand and a proper industrial jack stand, and in this case, that gap is a safety issue, not just a quality one. A stand holding up a vehicle or heavy load has one job, and it needs to do that job every single time.
From fixed-height stands to hydraulically adjustable options, our stands are engineered for demanding loads and rough environments.
Our Jacking Stands are engineered from solid steel with a wide, stable base and a proper locking mechanism, not a cheap pin that can slip under load. Cheap stands cut corners on the metal thickness and the locking system, and those are exactly the parts that matter most when someone is working underneath. Spend once on a stand you can trust, and you’re not gambling on it holding when it counts.
JACKRITE stands are used every day across mining, transport, construction, and heavy engineering. Major operators such as BHP, Rio Tinto, and Fortescue rely on OEM Group equipment on their sites, alongside workshops and family businesses right across Australia. When a stand has to hold up heavy equipment safely, shift after shift, reliability isn’t optional — it’s the entire point of the product.
The price tag on a jacking stand is the easy thing to compare, but it’s not the number that matters most. A stand that fails or tips over doesn’t just cost you a repair bill — it puts your team at risk and can shut a job down entirely. A well-built stand from a trusted brand is a small cost against the value of a safe, reliable workshop. This is one piece of equipment where buying cheap is rarely worth the risk.
A jack stand works even better as part of a proper safety setup. Pair yours with WESTCHOCK wheel chocks to stop a vehicle rolling while it’s raised, which matters just as much as the stand itself. Browse the wider range of other workshop equipment to round out your bay with the gear your team uses every day. And if your site needs something built to a specific spec, our custom design and fabrication team can develop a solution to suit.
Choosing the right stand is only half the job. What happens after you buy matters just as much, and it’s where OEM Group stands apart from generic online sellers. You get real people, local support, and genuine advice — not a box on a doorstep and a guess at what you actually needed.
Some workshops need more than a standard stand. If your site has an unusual load, space constraint, or handling requirement, our custom solutions team can design and fabricate equipment to suit, right here in Australia. It’s a service you simply don’t get from a catalogue-only supplier.
Equipment that holds up heavy loads needs to be checked, not just bought and forgotten. Our WA-based technicians handle servicing and repairs for workshop equipment, either on your site or at our Perth workshop, so your gear stays safe and compliant over time.
JACKRITE stands range from light-duty models suited to cars and utes right through to heavy-duty stands rated up to 100 tonnes for mining and transport equipment. Always match the stand to the actual load, with a safety margin.
A fixed-height stand supports a load at one set height, while a hydraulic adjustable stand can be raised or lowered to suit different vehicles and jobs from a single unit.
A jack stand is designed to support a load once it's raised, not to lift it. Always use a proper jack or hoist to lift the vehicle first, then lower it onto the stand before working underneath.
Yes, if you choose stands with forklift or trolley pick-up points. These let your team reposition heavy stands safely without manual handling risks.
Yes. If a standard model doesn't suit your load, height, or site requirements, our design and fabrication team can build a stand to your exact specification.
A quality jack stand pays for itself the first time it keeps your team safe under a heavy load. Shop the range today, or contact our team for a quick chat about what suits your workshop. Whether you need a single stand or a full set for a busy site, we’ll help you get it right the first time.
