i think you should just buy a hoist if you can afford it otherwise you are just going to have to make some as it would be the cheapest way

Basically you make them or make suitable height extension bases for standard ones.

Repco have units that go to 1500 and are a 10 tonner per pair stand.

We use them here for working on trucks on the hoist or putting chassis on.

$400 odd a pr last time I got some more.

Are they screw adjustable or pin adjusted?
