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.

Dendro Lift has delivered eight customized heavy-duty jack stands with integrated gas springs to Alstom in Hungary. The delivery includes robust jack stands for heavy loads, designed for safe support and maintenance of industrial vehicles and equipment.

This delivery will also be shipped from our new production facility. This means that we can now increase our production volume while at the same time reducing our lead times. With the expanded capacity, we achieve improved production flow and greater flexibility in customer-specific projects.

Dendro Lift jack stands are designed for loads up to 100 tons and manufactured in accordance with Swedish and European regulations, including SS-EN 1494+A1:2008. All units are CE marked and comply with applicable authority requirements .

Gas Springs for Balanced and Controlled Height Adjustment

The delivered jack stands are equipped with gas springs to counterbalance the weight of the center column. The gas spring is dimensioned to offset a significant portion of the column mass, allowing height adjustment using manual force only.

This design provides:

• Reduced manual force during adjustment
• Improved ergonomics
• Controlled vertical movement
• Reduced risk of uncontrolled lowering

The gas spring does not carry the operational load. The load-bearing function remains in the steel structure and locking system, designed according to defined safety factors.

Dendro Lift is currently the only manufacturer using this type of integrated gas spring mechanism in heavy duty industrial jack stands.

Structural Safety and Performance

The jack stands are engineered with:

• Safety factor 1.6 without permanent deformation
• Safety factor 3 without structural failure
• Resistance to 3 × rated load at 10° inclination
• Defined maximum floor load

These parameters ensure safe and predictable performance in demanding industrial environments.

Fully Customized Jack Stand Solutions

All Dendro Lift jack stands are fully customizable according to customer specifications, including:

• Load capacity (5–100 tons)
• Height range
• Three- or four-legged design
• Custom saddle/top plates
• Integrated wheel systems
• Surface treatment and environmental adaptation

All products are designed and manufactured in Sweden with full technical documentation and traceability.

Dendro Lift has recently delivered another series of custom-made jack stands for containers to EnBW Kernkraft in Philippsburg, Germany. These robust jack stands are equipped with ISO 1161 twist lock top plates – a critical feature for safe and stable placement of standard containers in industrial environments.

Why twist lock?

The twist lock system is a global standard for securing containers to prevent them from shifting, tipping, or sliding during storage or maintenance.

Key benefits:

• Maximum safety when working around containers
• Quick setup and locking – no tools or straps needed
• Stability even on uneven surfaces or with height variations

We at Dendro Lift recently had the opportunity to visit DAGAB’s warehouse in Bålsta, where their truck workshop – operated by Toyota Material Handling – uses our Dendro DSS2 truck lift in their daily operations.

The workshop staff explained that the DSS2 lift has made a significant difference in their working environment. By avoiding work on the floor, technicians can service stacker trucks and support-arm trucks in a more ergonomic, safe, and efficient way. They also mentioned that the lift helps them work faster and more smoothly, as the truck can be raised to the correct working height. The lift is in constant use throughout the day, showing how well it performs in a demanding workshop setting.

We truly appreciate hearing real-world feedback from users. A warm thank-you to the team for taking the time to share their experience.

A big thanks to DAGAB and Toyota Material Handling in Bålsta for a welcoming and insightful visit!
