Dendro Lift has recently delivered jack stands with gas spring and a 20-ton capacity to a customer within the defense industry. These jack stands are used for servicing and maintenance of the CV90, where stability, safety and ease of handling are essential when working underneath the vehicle.
The jack stands are custom designed for the application and developed to make the handling of heavy center columns both safer and more ergonomic.
Jack stands with gas spring for easy height adjustment
One of the key features of these jack stands with gas spring is the gas-assisted center column. In heavy-duty jack stands, the center column can weigh 10–100 kg. Manually lifting and adjusting such a column is both physically demanding and increases the risk of pinch injuries.
The gas spring counterbalances the weight of the column and allows the height adjustment to be performed with very little force. For the operator, the column feels almost weightless during adjustment, while the movement remains controlled and stable.
This allows the jack stand to be positioned and adjusted quickly during setup.
Benefits of jack stands with gas spring
Using gas springs in jack stands improves both ergonomics and handling in the workshop.
Key advantages include:
- easier adjustment of heavy center columns
- reduced risk of pinch injuries
- improved ergonomics during setup
- faster positioning of the jack stand
In the video below you can see how the gas spring assists the height adjustment of the jack stand’s center column.
Custom jack stands for heavy industry
Dendro Lift manufactures custom jack stands for industrial applications where safety and performance are critical. The design can be adapted to the customer’s requirements regarding load capacity, height range and support plates.
The jack stands are manufactured according to Swedish regulations and are CE-certified, focusing on robust construction and long service life in demanding environments.
The delivery of these jack stands with gas spring for the CV90 is an example of how ergonomics and safe handling can be improved even in applications involving very heavy components.
