4-Ton Ratchet Jack Stand

The American Forge & Foundry 55040 is a heavy-duty ratchet-style jack stand built for automotive service work. Its wide pyramid base and forged steel frame deliver stable load support during under-vehicle repairs. The ductile iron ratchet bar locks instantly at multiple height positions for secure adjustment. A large saddle improves contact with the vehicle frame to enhance safety.

Professional Mechanics and Serious DIYers

This stand suits technicians who need dependable, high-capacity support for cars and light trucks during brake, suspension or exhaust jobs. Buyers looking for a lightweight aluminium stand for trackside wheel changes should consider other options. Shops requiring paired stands for simultaneous corner lifts will need to purchase two units separately.

4-Ton Load Capacity

The 4-ton rating is the critical specification that determines whether this stand matches the vehicle weight being serviced. Verify the gross vehicle weight and per-corner load before use to ensure the stand operates within its rated limit. Exceeding this capacity compromises the welded frame and ratchet mechanism integrity.

Which capacity should I pick for my vehicle?

The 4‑ton rating suits most passenger cars and light trucks; choose a pair that matches or exceeds your axle weight.

What does the 4‑ton rating mean when the stand is under a car?

How does the ratchet bar lock during height changes?
