davepug205 7 Posted January 3, 2009 Hi everyone, What are your thoughts on a 350kg engine stand holding a built up XU? As theres quite a difference in price when you go for a heavy duty one. Cheers Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,622 Posted January 3, 2009 well an alloy XU built up is 100 odd kilos, an iron one 160 odd from memory, so a 350 kilo stand will be more than strong enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

philfingers 5 Posted January 4, 2009 I got mine from http://www.jawel.co.uk/specialoffers.htm (it's the 1000lb one under lifting equipment) and it's fine for £25. Had an Mi alloy block on it and it's perfect. I think as it's 4 castor one it's more stable than a 3 castor one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
