Blue-Point BLPJS3TAUTO 3-Tonne Auto-Rise Jack Stands (Pair) FAQ

The BLPJS3TAUTO must be used together with a suitable floor jack: the jack raises the vehicle, and the jack stands are then positioned at the vehicle manufacturer’s approved support points. The pair is rated to approximately 3 tonnes and adjusts from 340 to 510 mm, making it suitable for many passenger vehicles within those limits.

TYPICAL USE CASES

·       Automotive repair shops: temporary vehicle support during underbody service and inspection.

·       Fleet maintenance: repeat maintenance operations at fixed or mobile service positions.

·       Tyre service and owner DIY: support during tyre-related or other approved maintenance tasks after the vehicle has been raised with a jack.

STABILITY FEATURES

·       A one-piece high-strength rack works with a 240 × 198 mm welded steel base to provide a stable support footprint under rated conditions.

·       The safety pin is attached by a chain so it remains with the stand after removal and is less likely to be misplaced.

Always confirm the vehicle’s weight, support-point location and lifting instructions before use. Never exceed the rated capacity or work beneath a vehicle supported only by a hydraulic jack.

A conventional jack stand often requires the user to manually pull the rack upward and align it with the required locking position. The BLPJS3TAUTO adds a gas-spring-assisted auto-rise mechanism to make this adjustment more continuous.

Step 1: Raise the vehicle with a suitable floor jack according to the vehicle manufacturer’s lifting procedure.

Step 2: Place the BLPJS3TAUTO stand at the specified support point.

Step 3: Lift the operating handle; the gas spring assists the rack upward until the saddle reaches the support point.

Step 4: Insert the safety pin to secure the selected height before transferring the vehicle load to the stands according to the correct procedure.

Both manual and auto-rise designs can provide vehicle support when correctly rated and used. The main advantage of the auto-rise mechanism is that it reduces repeated manual rack alignment, making the setup sequence faster and more fluid.

Yes, the BLPJS3TAUTO can be used for compatible electric vehicles when the stand capacity, height range and saddle position match the vehicle manufacturer’s approved support procedure. Because many EV battery packs are mounted across the underbody, correct support-point selection is especially important.

·       Optional rubber saddle cover: part number BLPJS3TAUTO-2 fits over the metal saddle to provide a cushioning contact surface.

·       Underbody protection: the rubber layer helps reduce direct metal-to-metal contact and can lower the risk of scratching or marking the vehicle underbody or battery enclosure at an approved support point.

·       EV-specific check: do not place a stand directly under a battery pack or other underbody area unless the vehicle manufacturer specifically identifies it as a support point. Follow the vehicle lifting and support instructions for the exact model being serviced.
