BIG RED ATZ120006P Torin 12 Ton Pin Style Jack Stands - Portable

In this review the BIG RED ATZ120006P Torin heavy duty jack stands are examined for garage and shop use, and the single biggest reason to consider them is their combination of high load capacity and portability. These pin style jack stands advertise a 12 ton (24,000 lb) capacity and include two casters and a handle so one person can move the stand without lifting it, making them suited to heavier trucks and trailers where weight and stability matter. The review focuses on construction, ease of moving, and practical features such as pin storage and the saddle contact area.

Key Features

• 12 Ton Capacity: The 24,000 lb rated capacity offers support for large pickups, vans, and heavy trailers where higher load ratings are required for safety.
• Rolling Mobility: Two casters plus a handle let a single user position the stand quickly without repeatedly lifting it, saving effort in a busy shop.
• Pin Style Safety Lock: A high-density, high-strength locking pin secures the stand at the selected height and includes a storage spot so the pin is less likely to be misplaced.
• Wide Saddle and Upgraded Base: The larger saddle surface and reinforced base spread load and provide more stable contact while working under a vehicle.
• Heavy Gauge Steel Construction: Sturdy welded steel and durable spray paint resist distortion and corrosion for longer service life in garage environments.
• Height Range: The 12.6 in minimum to 18.9 in maximum lifting height covers common jacking points on many cars, trucks and UTVs for flexible use.

Who It's For

This product is aimed at owners and mechanics who regularly work on heavier vehicles such as full-size trucks, heavy duty SUVs, trailers and some light commercial equipment and need a stand with a high safe capacity and robust build. The integrated handle and casters suit busy shops and backyard mechanics who value mobility without sacrificing strength.

Less appropriate for this product are owners of compact cars who only need lighter, smaller stands with lower capacity or extremely low clearance stands for performance cars; the BIG RED stands are heavier and designed for larger loads and greater ground clearance.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid, heavy-gauge steel frame and welds contribute to perceived long-term durability and rigidity.
• High 12 ton capacity makes it suitable for trucks, trailers and heavier vehicles where lower-capacity stands would be marginal.
• Casters and handle improve positioning and reduce lifting strain in workshop environments.
• Pin storage reduces risk of losing the locking pin between jobs.

Cons

• Because these are heavy-duty stands they are themselves heavy, which can be more cumbersome to store despite the casters.
• Some users report mixed feedback on absolute wobble or stability under certain loads, so placement and proper usage are important.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these stands suitable for full-size trucks?
Yes; the 12 ton capacity and reinforced base are intended to support full-size trucks and heavier trailers when used correctly.

Can the locking pin be stored on the stand?
Yes; the design includes pin storage so the high-strength pin can be kept with the stand when not in use.

Do the casters allow easy movement with a load?
The casters assist in positioning the empty stand and moving it around the shop; always lift the vehicle onto properly positioned stands and do not roll the vehicle while supported.
