breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the tool’s operation.

near moving engine parts, wear snug fit clothing and
keep hands and fingers away from moving parts. Keep
hoses and tools clear of moving parts. Always stay

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The 2 Ton Underhoist Tripod Stand is designed to help
prevent the movement of a vehicle while the vehicle is on
an automotive lift. For use ONLY under a properly secured
automotive lift. It is to be used in pairs to stabilize a
vehicle during service. It is not intended to support the
lifted load, only to stabilize the load as work is being
performed. The rated capacity of this device is intended
to be used as a reference for the working load that this
stand is capable of sustaining. The working load is NOT
increased if used in pairs. The working load of a pair of
stands should not be considered to be more than the
rated capacity of a single stand. The rated capacity of this
stand is 4,000 Lbs.
PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
Capacity 2 Tons
Min. Height 50-1/2"
Max. Height 85-3/8"

create excess load causing product failure. Exceeding the
maximum capacity for this product is dangerous and can
lead to serious injury or property damage.
6. Always evaluate your task before using this high reach
stand. Use only as intended.
7. Use only on a hard, level and flat surface capable of
bearing the combined weight of the high reach stand,
load being lifted, the operator and any tools being used.
WARNING:
Never load the high reach stand with an engine that
extends beyond the centerlines of the front and rear
wheel/caster axles.
1. If you are working and the load becomes off-balance
and/or the high reach stand begins to tip over, DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO CATCH OR LIFT THE LOAD WHEN
FALLING. SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
In this event, clear the area as quickly and safely as
possible in order to avoid injury from the falling load,
including getting hit with flying fragments.
2. Before each use, inspect the general condition of
the high reach stand. If a problem occurs, have the
problem corrected before further use.
WARNING:
To prevent serious injury, DO NOT use a damaged or
malfunctioning high reach stand.
