    I got a pair of 6 ton like these off Amazon ages ago and they're pretty decent. They wouldnt quite do 700mm though. They list 605mm

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ton-Heavy-S.../dp/B07ZTQJLZR

    I've an ancient pair of Sealey's that'd probably do 700mm, but they came as package with a high lift jack I bought over 20 years ago. They're the conventional tube with holes setup though. I do prefer the ratchet types.
    Both are good sturdy items.

    Most definitely not selling, they're invaluable.

    Just stating what I have and that they are excellent if you choose to buy the same.

    700mm height will require a large axle stand with a very wide footprint, so do not cheap out on them. The only one negative about my large sealey is they do not have flat feet as such, but most modern ones I see online already have pads welded onto the feet.

    Sealey jobbies would be good as stevieturbo suggests.
    Just looked up some up, the part number is Sealey AS3000, they go to 705mm max height, they're rated to 5tonne a pair.
    Lots on fleabay at varying prices also seems that some have flat feet and some don't but it could just be that they use a generic photo. It would be worth double checking before you buy them.

    I bought some new halford stands a few years ago to replace the ones that I had off my Grandad over 30
    years ago but I'm not sure I even know how high they go..

    The Sealey's I have at max pin are about 735mm to the base of the valley of the top part.

    I do have some smaller Halfords one's that go to a reasonable height, but I rarely use them as they always look unsafe up there. For going high, oversize them so they have a very good base.

    These ones from MM look to have a good height, for sensible money, and a decent footprint.

    “These ones from MM look to have a good height, for sensible money, and a decent footprint“

    Thanks but I don’t think £132 is sensible money, they would only be used with a Sealy pivot lift maybe once a year
    and the car is less than 1,000kg

    Thanks for everyone’s help

    The weight of your car is less relevant to the height you wish to achieve and the stability that requires. Considering some others are £200+, they are not overly priced.

    why not make ur own. you can decide how high you then want um to go then, not much fabricating skills to be able to make a set up. just a thought

    I started to have a look at some of the advertised prices and at first glance yes there were cheaper ones, then look a little closer and the price was for one stand. So maybe £130 isn't too bad especially if the VAT can be claimed back.
