RennStand FAQs
If you have questions or concerns about your RennStand or want to verify compatibility with your needs, please read through the FAQs below where you will find answers to most everything.
We have rated the RennStand for 3 tons US or 2,722 kg., and each of the quick release pins holding it together are rated for 9000 lbs. each. If your vehicle weighs 5000 lbs. the most you would support with one jack or jack stand is half of that since the vehicle is also supported by it’s tires or other jack stands that share the weight. A 5000 lb. vehicle might put as much as 2500 lbs. on a jack stand and that is only 42% of the stands rating. The more stands, the lower the loading on each stand because they are sharing the load. In addition, the stands are all tested in accordance with ASME standards to at least 150% of the rated load (9,000 lbs.) but please do not exceed the 6,000 lb. load rating for safety reasons.
The RennStand adds approximately 1.9 inches or 50 mm to the lowest setting of your jack including the jack pad. The lowest setting while on its legs is 11.5 inches or 292 mm.
The RennStand will go to roughly 16.5 inches or 419 mm. We have plans to produce other versions that will go higher for lifted vehicles.
Currently we do not but a heavier 4 or 5 ton unit and even a 10 ton unit are planned.
We are open to having distribution but currently all orders ship direct from our facilities in Florida, USA.
Yes, we ship to most countries around the world. During checkout, the shipping cost will be calculated for you after entering your delivery address.
The jack cannot be wider than the space between the legs. The RennStand will accept floor jacks that are up to 12 inches or 305 MM wide. In addition, the floor jack should have a lift saddle of 3 diameter or larger.
The RennStand fits most vehicles. There are so many different vehicles and changes from year-to-year, but typically one of our jack pads will be suitable. We also add jack pads to our product line as we are able to. We sell the standard RennStand with a pinch weld pad, commonly used on many cars. We have additional pads for a variety of vehicles.
You will need at least 5.5 inches or 140 mm of clearance from the center of the jack point to any obstruction in order to safely place the RennStand. You will need 2.1” plus the height of your jack to place the RennStand under your vehicle.
While the RennStand fits under most vehicles, a lower profile jack may be required for low or lowered vehicles. If there is still not enough clearance to get the jack, with RennStand’s crossbar on its saddle, under your car’s jacking point, there is a quick remedy: First, using only the jack, lift the car at the jacking point where you want to place the RennStand. Once lifted, place a 2x4 piece of wood laid flat and centered under the tire closest to that jacking point, and lower the vehicle so that the tire is centered onto the 2x4. This process generally takes only about a minute or two, and in most cases gives you the clearance necessary to get the jack with the RennStand’s crossbar under the jacking point.
All pads are compatible with each RennStand, so there is no need to purchase additional stands, only the pads that match the vehicle you wish to lift.
At this time we are not building custom pads, but please reach out to us via email with the make and model of your car, and we will do our best to determine whether one of our current pads will match your requirements.
In addition to being in high demand, we are also a small company which can only produce limited batches of stands and pads. We do our best to overlap our manufacturing to minimize these delays, and as we grow they will become shorter and shorter. We greatly appreciate your patience.
