3 ton for each stand or is it the combined capacity of the pair?

I have a set. Each jack stand say 3 tons on it. By the way, they are great. I love them.

The jacks are sold in pairs. The manufacturer most likely intended the jacks to be used as a pair. Other than supporting the vehicle for a minute or two with one jack, while raising the opposite side to place the other jack safely.... I would side with caution and say that BOTH/COMBINED jacks can support 3 tons (6,000 pounds). Don't forget to use your parking brake and chock both wheels that remain on the ground. Stay SAFE!!

We have numerous sets of these where I work, and from several manufacturers, and most of them will have the total capacity (of the stands when as a pair) stamped into each on. Seems pretty commonplace for the manufacturers to do this. We feel it is misleading, especially if you haven't seen the advertisement for a set of stands that states the capacity is for a set when used together. We think manufacturers should stamp the capacity of each stand (i.e. 3,000 on each stand) instead of the total capacity for 2 stands on each stand. I agree with the answer "to err on the side of caution" to be safe. Notice that you cannot buy one stand by itself from anyone? There's your clue. Don't outsmart your common sense.

A follow up answer. One reviewer indicates he put 80 pounds on the stand with no problem and that they would hold 150 pounds.

like any item you have a max. my speakers weigh about 18lbs and all is good with the stands.

The bookshelf speakers I have on mine weigh 16 pounds. I don't think the stands will have any trouble holding 30 pound speakers. They are very sturdy.

They are listed to hold up to 20 lbs. each. I know I have my Infinity Primus P163's on these, which weigh 16 lbs. each, with no problem at all supporting them.

Hi Brenda - I don't know what the official limit is but I can tell you how I have them. I have a stack of two - the top one has an old radio on it that weighs 25 pounds. The one on the bottom supports all that weight, plus the top stand plus 2 smaller radios weighing about 10 pounds. So the bottom stand supports a little over 35 pounds with know evidence of overloading and no sagging.

I'm not completely sure, but I have 25 pound Bose speakers mounted to mine and it didn't cause any strain at all on the stands so I would think that they could handle at least twice as much weight, if not a bit more.

I believe you would have to stack them. As far as load capacity you should be good.

I would think to be used together.I don't think one could withstand 16000 lbs.That is an enormous amount of wieght.Thank you.Burnis

Combined so 2.3 each. They are quite heavy I was really surprised but no trouble.

I have 2 sets and they stack very well. I think they would still stack well even with a 3rd set. They're sturdy and stable.

I would say one can hold 50 lbs. but I would use two for good measure, or use a larger one. I haven't looked but I would think they would show their load capacity in the specifications.

sold as single . though this steel powder coated stand is heavy , and could hold anything weight wise you need . it's also very sturdy . i bought three of these for my dad's , brother's , and my home theaters . we use different brand center channel speakers , 45# to 68# .

As long as the back of the monitors have the proper mounting configuration, the stand will probably "support" the two monitors. The issue is not the weight of the monitors, but lifting the stand to a vertical position after mounting the monitors to the stand (assuming that the monitors were mounted while laying flat). It is cumbersome, at best, and not improbable that the stand will become unbalanced and fall over. Careful mounting, lifting and an extra set of hands can reduce this risk.

I'm not sure, you may want to ask the manufacture, but it seems very strong, I think it supports even two persons (150 Ib each).

yeah the stands can handle that kinda weight. My speakers weigh almost 50 lbs each and these stands handle the weight. I would advise against "sliding" the stands around after the speakers have been placed upon them, however.

It should be fine. I have two speakers that are about the same size and weight. Careful lifting the speakers up to the stand as one side will be very heavy until the other one balances out. The frame itself is very sturdy and will hold the weight just fine. Just getting them both on is a bit tricky at first.
