Integrated Jack Stands

Our pick

Powerbuilt Unijack Stand

Choose the Powerbuilt Unijack when a 3-ton single-device rating and an 11 to 21-inch lifting-height range meet the vehicle lifting and support instructions. Its manual requires hard, level surfaces that can sustain the load; check the approved points and saddle clearance before buying.123

Why this one

  • The Unijack combines hydraulic lifting with a locking lever that engages a ratchet bar as the vehicle rises. The 11 to 21-inch range describes lifting height, so follow the manual locking procedure for support rather than assuming every lifting height is a locked position.123

Buying advice

  • Use only on hard, level surfaces capable of sustaining the load. The manual recommends a matched pair to support one end and prohibits supporting both ends or one side simultaneously; a pair does not authorize adding the ratings into a whole-vehicle capacity.3
