axle stand
Vehicle support device
An axle stand is a metal support device used to hold a vehicle safely off the ground after it has been raised by a jack.
Unlike a jack, which is designed for lifting, axle stands provide stable, long-term support while working underneath a car.
They typically have an adjustable height mechanism and a notched or flat top that cradles the vehicle's frame or axle.
Never work under a car supported only by a jack—always use axle stands.
