Refer to instructions

IMPORTANT NOTE: these stands are rated singly. Used in pairs they will support twice the rated load. TAKE CARE; you may know the total weight of the load you want to support but you cannot calculate the exact weight distribution between support points.
For this reason, always allow a 40% margin for error.
For example, a load weighing 4tons could have a single point load of more than 2tons and two 2ton supports would not be adequate.
NOTE: Sold singly but must be used in pairs. Only to be used in conjunction with permanently fixed lifts. Not mobile column lifts.
