My Lift Stand - Great idea for lifting a car 

As an engineer who is constantly designing in my head, bravo on realizing your design and patenting it.

Jack stands are cheaper, do the same thing and you can remove the wheels if needed.

Make a ramped version of these and you're golden. Drive up onto the initial height then jack them up further the same way as in the video.

I own these lifts, they are outstanding from a safety standpoint & under vehicle workspace access. Highly recommend this product. Not cheap but you do get what you pay for and they are made in the USA.

Great idea Im making some. Thanks for this video.

I agree with some people that they are not great for most common repairs, but I own a mobile auto repair business and I have been trying to get a set of these. He can't keep them in stock. One great use for them is pulling a transmission out on the ground or doing exhaust work. Also you are lifting from the lowest point of the car so that automatically gives you an additional 5+(depending on car or truck) inches than using any jack stand because those are placed at a much higher point.

Wow, I've spent the last 2 years designing a low car lift but this is way simpler. Kudos to you.

Flat out...Jack stands are not even remotely comparable in terms of safety. I need this!

I hope these go into production sometime soon, I would buy a set of 4 asap. Great idea!!

Very cool, I would definitely buy them, but most of the work I do under my car, requires the tires off. A jack stand like attachment to the top would be amazing! Great work on your design!

Perfect. Now do your brakes lol.

What a great idea, no reason it should not be safe, if used on a level surface. Going to make some myself but with a manual locking / unlocking system.

Website tells to contact for price. That means they are high priced. Pretty easy to list a price don't you think.

Great concept. For this to be even better for most people see if you can attach it to the car in a way that you can remove the tires. It'll make your product 100x better

When I looked at the video thumbnail I thought they were using coffee tables! hahaa

I like it a lot. Being an older guy, rolling around on the floor looking for points for a jack stand is something I would like to avoid. Knees. These look pretty stable and get the vehicle up a little higher than normal.

GREAT IDEA VERY WELL DONE - I don't get the negative comments, these do not replace jack stands! You would still use jack stands if you need to remove the wheel but these allow you to work on the car for chassis/exhaust/transmission etc. Jack stands could crush the sills if not properly placed and would be slower to then adjust the height. The suspension can surely be more trustworthy than a rusted out sill for example. I like also that the cars weight seems to be better distributed onto the floor and would probably feel more secure working underneath plus there are no jack stands (less obstruction) to get in the way when going underneath and scooting back out etc. It also appears that you could get the car higher off the ground than jack stands - certainly if jacking teh tyres you would need to make sure the handbrake (e-brake) is on and the car is in gear or park mode. I use drive up ramps but these only give around 9 inches of extra height and a few more inches is needed for good access. These make perfect sense people!!

work with jacks and stands for 35 years unlike most designs this is a fairly simply and solid design on an old concept. the locking mechanism would be the fail point and as long as pins are grade 8 there would not be an issue unless wheel combo is super huge so it doesn't fit the stand lowering tire psi would help but then that would be a pain in the ass .. dealing with lowered vehicles I have to use multiple jacks that are for lowered cars and multiple passes to rais a car 2 feet off ground this would make it 1 third the time

where can i buy these jacks ? WOW ...

Excellent, practical, sturdy and safe. Great innovation that really makes a difference for us home garage mechanics. Thanks.

Stop trolling me RU-vid you know I'm a car guy and I want this

Cool idea. Always use the Jack and someone thing as back up protection.

I was recently able to see the major use of these stands firsthand. For most DIY'ers, it might not be worth it unless you do extensive work underneath. I own a mobile auto repair business and was able to fully utilize a set of these recently. A gentleman and I used the set to pull a transmission out of an E350 work van. He bought a rebuilt unit and we were doing a straight swap. With the stands, we were able to do it in just a few hours and he paid me well for my time. Having a van fairly high and a transmission jack made that job easy. He may sell his set and I plan to buy them cheap also saving on shipping. It would have been far more difficult on jack stands because you would need to lift the van very high to compensate for the height of the transmission sitting on top of the jack and then you are still not lifting from the lowest point. My friend and I pulled a transmission out of a 2005 C240 4 Matic using jack stands and it was much tighter and made the job take longer. Fantastic Idea for the right people that can really profit from utilizing them.

I was trying to invent nearly the same thing last night. Yours is all debugged and ready to go. Nice.

Good idea..just takes 4 hrs to get your car off the ground so you can finally work on it 🤣🤣

That is freaking awesome. I own a Mobile Repair business and this would be great for dropping a transmission, transfer case or exhaust work. With that height, it opens up a world of possibilities.

I'm not a mechanic nor do I mess with cars, however this is simply a brilliant invention. Great Job!

i hope this product works out for you. seems amazing as far as i'm concerned. all i care about is safety though. had a friend crushed and killed by a car when it jumped off of his jackstands. if you end up producing and selling these (at a reasonable price) I'll definitely be a customer

Very, very cool product! Definitely want a set of 4 when they become available! Keep up the nice work

I love it , much smaller footprint than ramps so u can use creeper easily plus it's more secure

I have a practice as a consumer: If i have to call a company or send away for free sales solicitation information to find out the price, i will never purchase the item(s). So, i'm assuming you forgot to list the price Sir? What is your price for a four stands?

That's a great design. How sweet to have some elbow room when working under a car!

Would rent them but would not buy them. It's a great idea and would have worked great changing my daughter's catalytic converter I just recently replaced but most repairs involve raising the car and require the tires to be removed. The most practical would still be a floor jack and jack stands.

I just saw another video of another stand. This one looks more stable. Looks good. It'll make it easier to crawl around underneath a car.

The load strength is over 5000 lbs on each pin, and the are four pin on the stand.

This does require jacking up each corner twice. If there's a way to drive up onto the lift and still get a jack underneath it to lift the car higher, it would eliminate the double jacking. From the video, it seems to be more stable than jack stands. But it sure beats spending several $1,000 to install a hydraulic lift system. This would probably be most beneficial if you must have the car on the lift for a few days for something like transmission/clutch work or exhaust system work. Obviously not for suspension work.

I like how people think that this is supposed to replace jack stands...smh. This is perfect for non suspension jobs. like oil changes or working on a transmission.

Great invention mate. Always working the mrs., my own & friends vehicles. Got fed up with the jack & stands. Bought a chinese 3.8 ton 2 post hoist for 2200.00. Normal house hold power. My buddy reckons their crap, its still workin fine a year later. 👋 from 🇦🇺 .

At $800 for a set of four, no thanks I'll stick to my floor jack and stands.

This is a great idea and I am purchasing a set of lifts soon. These will be great for checking / cleaning my fuel filter, changing oil and filter, cleaning the undercarriage and wiping down the exhaust. For tire rotations and wheel cleanings I would just jack the car up the conventional way. This is totally worth it for those that don't have room for a full blown lift and is cheaper than race ramps. Driving on those ramps can be tricky with lowered cars as well. Race Ramps are great but just too expensive.

Jacks stands are cheaper and you can remove the wheels.

great idea for big jobs i.e. transmission, rear main seal etc. saves your suspension if you need to keep car jacked for several weeks

have none of you ever heard of a hole in garage floor? my garage has a 6x1x1.5m hole in the floor of the garage, that is covered with thick wood boars, so no one falls in when there is no car in the garage, drive a car in, take the boards out, voila you are able to access under the car to change oils or whatever. i mostly do rust repair/ exhausts, so this is good enough for me.

Patent this, market it correctly to the right audience and become a millionaire if you put in the work. I don't see why so many people are worried about it being safe, have it properly tested and certified for a high weight and you are golden as long as people know it has been tested and certified.

trés bien

I made two like these back in the early 80's, but I used a short bottle jack under it to finish jacking it up. I think I still have them around here somewhere. They are old and the bottles started leaking so I stored them.

You made these?.....amazing! Genius!

That is AWESOME. Alright that's have the prints. There's no shop that I know of that has something like this at all.

They’re ok but I can’t really imagine a situation you’d need them when you get can ramps and axle stands pretty cheap

Kind of a neat idea, I use jack stands but I can see where this would come in handy for tightening up suspension components with the weight of the car on the wheels for proper ride height. Most other work you use GOOD jack stands for the repair. Good idea for those folks who feel the car will fall on them when lifted.

Shouldnt the stands be slightly contoured to avoid accidental rolling?

what a clever idea and so much safer than stands I'm gonna make same tupe but not under the wheels as most times I have a car that high I have wheels off

Design Issue: There's nothing to prevent a vehicle from rolling along - or off - the stand. Recommendation: Add some suitably-sized angle stock on both ends to act like chocks.

This is awesome for building exhausts and or mocking up chassis etc. If you have to work outside or in the dirt these are safer than jack stands which will sink in mud if its raining everybody that mods doesn't have garages or concrete surfaces.

Wish I had a big level concrete surface like that to work with.

I think that these are nifty for people who do not feel comfortable taking off their wheels. This is a nice alternative to driving up on ramps and gives more access. I myself, do take the wheels off so I would just buy jack stands.

here is a man that has a product which he thought would help out a few of us car guys, instead of saying hey guy where did you buy them, how can i get them, how much are they and thanks for sharing your great video, some uf us think to much in the opposite direction of inovation, creativity, and look for ways to kill the spirit of sharing, but I say Sir thankyou for your time to post this video, it looks safe , it looks great , and am am very interested to know more about them

Before crawling under I'd still put some kind of 6x6 blocks under the axles for additional assurance - just for the heck of it.

also needs dips in the stands to make it safe from rolling issues...

I think its a beautiful idea to be able to work under a car.

What prevents the possibility of the car rolling off these? I'd prefer bigger jack stands (which I have and give e plenty of room to work underneath). And as so many have said, you can also take your wheels off, which is quite often when jacking a car up.

wow, you sure can get the car up nice and high like that. I wish i had those earlier today when I was working on my focus, I was all cramped up under it, with my jackstands extended all the way up.

I agree with all of this. Though, I'm guessing these are more for underbody repair work or engine repair work more then anything.

thats a cool idea assuming you dont need the wheels off nice alternative to a lift in a pinch

Great unless you need to take the wheels off or leaving the suspension hanging for any reason

Brilliant! Like having four jackstands under each tire. Ever have a jackstand slip on a frame rail? Yeah. Not a comforting feeling. I love how much room you get. I'd like to see anyone try to push a car off of these stands.

Good thing i can weld... now theyre my jack stands.

Probably best used for clutch jobs or anything underneath the car, but not involving wheels or brake jobs

very cool, but theirs one iffy area.... The pins.. All the weight rests on the pins, those pins better be made of some kinda strong metal alloy. the good thing is that once the car is lifted theres no stress on the frame/chassis of the vehicle. the down side is that its useless for any suspension type work.

Yeah great Idea, looks alot safer than jack stands, sits higher and definitely gets the jack stands out of the way.

I use 4 six ton floor jacks, then put the floor jack under the area of the car/truck I am working on. Sometimes, if the tires are off, I will put them under the car. Sorry, I don't fully trust any type of floor jack, you have to have something else under there case they fail. Been doing this for 40+ years and always put safety first.

Seems great for doing stuff under the car but any wheel work, suspension, brakes would not be good. I think I would prefer jack stands overall.

thats freaking awsome if ur not doing suspension work, u should come up with somthing for a unibody/frame! that would be nice,...

That is genius.

My prayers have been answered!

neat idea I guess. but what if I want to take a wheel off to work on the brakes.

i saw this on a mates computer and what a brill idea it is and simple so i made a set - thanks for the idea

it takes to long just to lift the damned car up. ramps faster & safe.

I like it. Simple but effective.

Outstanding....that way I can leave my wheels on

That's an awesome idea!!! Safer and higher than ramps.

One can only imagine its usefulness when the ground is lava.

Some 8x8 lumber cut to about 18 inches works great and its cheap and safe

Hope those pins are grade A hardware. 🤔🤔

Ramp stands are out there, I've found most cars don't have a long enough wheel base to allow the mechanic to roll under the car between the end of the ramp and the back tires plus they're difficult to use because they don't weigh much and sometimes on some cars when you start up the ramp they slide across smooth clean floors. I like the idea of these but worry about their stability if you're working on something with really stubborn bolts and have to get down on it. Maybe a wider base at least?

That's actually pretty clever. I'd buy it. I'm a little tall, so working under the car with standard jack stands can be a claustrophobic experience at times. This is perfect for that.

What if you’re working on your suspension?

I was attempting to buy 2 sets because they are perfect for exhaust work, transmission & transfer case service, etc. The shipping price was a bit high since they are heavy. I still may buy them in the near future.

$1,200.00 you can buy an hydraulic lift. No floor jack required.

Cool little idea. Just not sure what I would use it for aside from exhaust/transmission work. Every time I have had my car in the air at least one wheel comes off. Guess it would be handy for rear diff fluid change.

Id put jack stands under for extra safety.

There are 4 pin..... one for each support. With a shear strength of 3,000 lb. each...... for a total of 12,000 lb. This stand is made of 12 ga. steel, and the top pan is recess so the tire will not roll off.

better have your E brake on

Best and most useful I've seen so far- excellent idea!

Don't do this. The car will roll and squash you like a bug. You also can't work on anything tire or suspension related.

This is obviously for stuff that allows you to leave the wheels on like engine, trans, exhaust, etc.

They have that already. They are called car ramps. Beauty about car ramps are you don’t have to jack the car up . All you do is simply drive up the ramp and magically the front end moves up off the ground. Wtf

You know, I was gonna comment on how shitty these were because we have jackstands (and like most of you are bitching and moaning about) but then I watched the video and realized how much ground clearance you get with these! Anybody that has done transmission work or exhaust work or frame work will see the benefit of these. And I have yet to see jackstands reach this sort of height. Swapping out transmission? No problem. Swapping out motor from the bottom? no problem. If he can incorporate these with some sort of drive-up ramp and integrated jack/lift system, he'll be a rich man!

Gullible consumers love these, until they realize they need four jackstands to remove all the wheels!

This would be perfect for the Mercedes. They are super picky and you have to use the pain in the ass pucks. There are special lifting blocks underneath most cars that use the pucks so you could get two under the tires and have it lifted in half the time. Sure beats sketch jack stands! Let me know when you make them. If they are stamped made in USA, I'll get a set!
