    WARREN, Mich. — Bosch Group has introduced OTC stands, jacks and jack packs, constructed with lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum, for the North American market.

    The new OTC racing service jacks help lift vehicles faster and higher and offer two different weight capacities for shop needs:

    • OTC 1546 3-Ton Aluminum Racing Service Jack, with a minimum height of 3.6 inches with saddle removed and a maximum height of 19.2 inches; and
    • OTC 1532A 2-Ton Aluminum Racing Service Jack with a minimum height of 3.4 inches with saddle removed and maximum height of 18-5/8 inches.

    Side handles on the jacks allow for easy transport and loading for mobile service calls, the company said.

    Other features include: quick-lift hydraulic cylinders to raise vehicles quickly with fewer pumps; a 4-ft. padded lower handle to protect rocker and door panels and offer maximum leverage to lift vehicles; and a rubber saddle to protect the vehicle's undercarriage and prevent slipping.

    The jacks meet new PASE standards.

    The new OTC lightweight jack stands offer an adjustable, broad range of holding heights with two different load capacities available:

    • OTC 1596 3-Ton Aluminum Jack Stands with a minimum height of 9.5 inches; maximum holding height of 15.6 inches; and
    • OTC 1582A 2-Ton Aluminum Jack Stands with a minimum height of 9.5 inches; maximum holding height of 15.16 inches.

    The stands come equipped with six different holding positions and a flat, round base to stay steady and not dig into soft surfaces like asphalt, the company said. A seven-inch base and two-inch saddle securely holds a vehicle's frame or undercarriage to offer firm support during repair.

    The stands meet new ANSI/PASE standards.

    OTC Jack Packs offer two different capacities:

    • OTC 1547 3-Ton Aluminum Jack Pack, which includes the OTC 1546 Service Jack and OTC 1596 Jack Stands; and
    • OTC 1533A 2-Ton Aluminum Jack Pack, which includes the OTC 1532A Service Jack and OTC 1582A Jack Stands
