OY5603 Professional 1250LBS Engine Stand

The Professional 1250LBS Engine Stand closes the capacity gap between standard 1000-LBS units and heavy-duty 1500-LBS models, serving the growing number of workshops that regularly handle large six-cylinder and small eight-cylinder engines that exceed the safe working load of standard stands but do not require the full rated capacity of 1500-LBS equipment.

At 820 mm working height—slightly taller than the lighter models—the OY5603 is calibrated for the higher mass of engines in this category, which tend to be physically larger and therefore require more head clearance between the rotating engine and the workshop floor. The extra height also makes it more comfortable for taller technicians working on large powerplants.

The engine head bolt pattern and mounting adapter set are compatible with the wider range of engine mounting schemes found on larger automotive platforms, including some commercial vehicles and industrial engines with non-standard bolt configurations. This broader adapter compatibility expands the practical scope of the stand beyond typical automotive workshops.

Base castor diameter is increased on this model compared to the 750-LBS and 1000-LBS stands, reducing rolling effort when a fully loaded large engine is mounted. The larger wheels also bridge floor joints and small surface irregularities more effectively, preventing the stand from catching and tipping when being repositioned in a loaded state.

With 27.5 kg gross weight and a 84 × 23 × 21.5 cm package size, the OY5603 ships efficiently while providing a meaningful step up in professional capability for shops that service a mixed fleet including larger engines.
