Floor Jack Safety Safety Rod.

[Old Goat]

I just came across this safety rod so a Floor jack won`t come down
on a jacked up Vehicle.
I was just recently working on my rear Brakes, jacked up the rear of the
truck, placed Jack Stands under each axle. The keep the (3 ton) Floor jack
under the Differential with just enough pressure to hold it as a back up.
I saw this YT Vid on this safety rod that fits various size Floor Jacks.
Looks like a great idea.
They go from 2 ton all the way to 3.5 ton, and one for a 3.5 ton with extra lift.

Now you do need to be on stable firm ground, and on level as, IE jacking up on a concrete Pad like in front of your garage.

If Using Jack Stands on Asphalt, use 1/2 or 3/4" Plywood under them. One square piece to set the Jack Stand on.
Asphalt is just Tar and Gravel for the most part.
Jack Stands can sink into it especially on a hot day.
Also wheel chocks for safety.

I wouldn't trust it.

I like jack stands of this type. 22 ton is overkill but that's what I got for the RV (a single one). They're lower profile than the typical ratchet ones, meaning you don't have to jack up the vehicle as high. The lowest raise hole was enough for the RV to remove the rear wheels. The big footprint baseplate makes it very secure. They are heavy though.

But I've seen lower capacity ones of the same style.

I have seen those stands at HF, $209. I like them that
they have the Flat Base. Only one`s they have in that style are the 22 Ton one`s.
