Idea is: That you can lift one side, whole front or rear up. With one jack = one lift, and then place jack stands under the support. Leaves axles free, allows working with drivetrains, suspension etc..
Making takes about a day, used surplus material, so costs we're less than 20$ for me.
Width can be adjusted. Optimal lifting point can be found from every car. ( very most of them )
Biggest reason to make this thing, was that our kids are using my tools when they are fixing their cars.
I don't wan't them to use wood block aids for lifting or stands that are unsure.
Of course, i have several bought stands too. None of them can be placed firmly under this kind of lifting support. So, i made a specific stands for it, to get safe and quick to use way to lift a car.
I use bought stands for extra safety instead, and place them under the skirt just in case. Always use several stands, if you are working under the car!
Structure is tested with 8 ton press. So, it holds easily 2 ton car.
