Over the last 9 years we designed and manufactured 4 variations of standard axle stands to suit the MOD’s requirements.

Automotive Tools and OMCN worked with the MOD’s technical advisors to create 2 unique maintenance stands, along with 2 standard lines which have been NATO codified and despatched across the globe.

Designed and manufactured in Italy, our stands were chosen because of the quality materials and manufacturing standards used. All welds are done robotically, ensuring that every stand comes off the production line identical.

Spares parts are also available; some have recently been NATO codified. This allows the MOD to save money by repairing rather than replacing the stands.
