OTC Tools Jack Stand

OTC Tools Jack Stands: A Century of Safe, Professional Vehicle Support

When a vehicle needs to stay elevated safely while you work underneath it, the jack stand holding it in place is one of the most critical pieces of equipment in any shop. OTC Tools — proudly designing and manufacturing specialty service tools and shop equipment since 1925 — brings that same century of engineering discipline to its lineup of jack stands. Whether you're a weekend enthusiast supporting a sedan or a professional technician working under a heavy-duty commercial vehicle, OTC has engineered a stand for the job.

A Range Built for Every Load Rating

OTC's jack stand catalog spans an impressive range of capacities, making it one of the most versatile lineups available. Their 3-ton steel jack stands are constructed of a formed and welded high-quality steel base for strength, and the self-locking ratchet handle cannot be released under load — a critical safety feature in any professional environment. These are an ideal size for utility vans, full-size sedans, full-size pickups, SUVs, and other personal passenger vehicles.

For heavier applications, the OTC Stinger Series steps up the capability significantly. OTC Stinger 6-ton jack stands feature a formed and welded steel base for strength and a self-locking ratchet handle which cannot be released under load. They conform to ANSI PALD load rating standards, are factory tested before shipment, and offer 13 adjustment positions — giving technicians fine-tuned control over working height. A durable baked enamel finish resists corrosion, and welded foot pads resist sinking into soft ground or asphalt.

At the extreme end of the spectrum, OTC's heavy-duty offerings don't flinch. The 22-ton capacity pin-style stands feature fully steel construction with a large 11-inch flat square base welded to a square tube and steel support column, rated to safely hold 44,000 lbs. — a flat base that resists sinking into concrete, asphalt, and other soft surfaces. For single-stand applications in professional service bays, the 20-ton stand uses a solid steel dual-pin design that secures column height, and the entire unit is cycle tested for long service life and backed by OTC's Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Safety Standards You Can Count On

Across the lineup, OTC jack stands are engineered to meet modern safety certifications. Each model meets ASME PASE-2019 safety standards for jack stands — the current industry benchmark for load rating and performance testing. Pin-lock adjustment systems and flat-top saddle designs further ensure reliable, controlled vehicle support at every height setting. This commitment to standards compliance reflects OTC's broader identity as a brand that builds tools tough enough for professionals who can't afford failure, backed by engineering that maximizes efficiency and minimizes wasted time.

Why OTC for Jack Stands?

Since joining Bosch Automotive Service Solutions in 2012, OTC has gained the backing of one of the world's premier automotive technology companies while maintaining its American manufacturing identity and commitment to professional technicians. That means every jack stand in the OTC lineup benefits from enterprise-level engineering rigor applied to a product category where there's simply no room for compromise. From lightweight aluminum stand sets designed for mobile service calls to massive pin-style stands rated for the heaviest trucks and commercial equipment, OTC's jack stand range is a direct expression of a brand that has spent 100 years earning the trust of the professionals who depend on it most.
