Hey guys,
I was wondering, how you have to understand the amount of maximum work load at safety stands? Bought a pair of 1200kg ones.
Does that mean that EACH can carry 1200kg? Or together, so each 600kg? And i mean for example, when i raise my front and put stands underneath, then approximately half of the car weight is still on the back wheels right? And when i raise the back, too, and put safety stands under the back then i got 4 stands together and each can carry 1200kg, so the car can weigh 4x1200=4800kg.
So i dont have to worry about the weight, when i only put them under the front, right? Because afaik a commodore vt station wagon weighs about 1700kg, so approximately half is only 850.
Did i understand that correctly?
