Product Details
The RYAN PU Foam Portable Work Stand (YD81-001B) is a professional-grade solution tailored for supporting large, delicate workpieces such as car doors, fenders, hoods, and bumpers—making it ideal for automotive repair, bodywork, and workshop tasks.
Its core strength lies in durable construction: the frame is made of galvanized steel, which forms a protective layer against rust and corrosion. This ensures the stand maintains structural integrity even in damp, dusty, or oil-exposed workshop environments. The 28mm × 1.2mm thick tubing further reinforces stability, allowing it to safely bear up to 500 Lbs—easily handling heavy automotive components without bending or wobbling.
A key upgrade is the 1/2" PU foam covering the entire arm. Unlike regular foam, PU foam offers superior cushioning and resilience: it resists compression set (meaning it bounces back after use) and provides a soft, scratch-free surface for high-value workpieces. This protects painted car parts (like hoods or fenders) from dents, chips, or paint damage during repair or assembly.
Portability and flexibility are also standout features. The stand folds down to a compact 1020mm × 1030mm size, so it can be stored in garages, tool closets, or vehicle trunks without taking up excess space. The extra-wide height adjustment range (530mm - 1020mm) suits diverse user needs—whether you're seated while detailing small parts or standing to work on tall bumpers—reducing muscle strain during long tasks. The 77cm leg tubes provide a wide, stable base, preventing tipping even when supporting unevenly weighted items.
Application Scenarios
Automotive Repair & Body Shops
This work stand is a staple for auto repair professionals. It securely holds car doors, fenders, hoods, and bumpers during painting, dent repair, or replacement. For example, when refinishing a car fender, the PU foam surface safeguards the fresh paint from scratches, while the adjustable height lets technicians work at a comfortable level (no more hunching or reaching). The 500 Lbs capacity easily supports heavy steel bumpers, ensuring stability during installation.
Home Garages & DIY Projects
For DIY enthusiasts, the stand simplifies tasks like furniture assembly (e.g., holding large table tops while attaching legs), lawnmower body repairs, or appliance maintenance (e.g., supporting a washing machine door during hinge replacement). The PU foam protects household items from damage, and the foldable design means it can be stored out of the way when not in use—perfect for small garages.
Professional Detailing Services
Automotive detailers rely on this stand to hold components like side mirrors, trim pieces, or door panels while cleaning, polishing, or waxing. The adjustable height ensures detailers can work on small or large parts without straining, and the stable base eliminates the risk of parts falling and getting scratched during meticulous detailing.
Small Manufacturing & Workshop Settings
In small-scale manufacturing or workshops, the stand supports bulky materials such as metal sheets, plastic molds, or wooden panels during cutting, drilling, or assembly. The galvanized steel frame resists damage from grease, oil, or metal shavings, and the foldable design helps maximize floor space in compact workshops.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: How easy is it to fold and unfold the stand?
A1: It's designed for hassle-free folding and unfolding. The stand uses a simple latch system—just release the leg latches, fold the legs inward until they lock, and it collapses to its compact size. Unfolding takes equally little time: unlock the latches, extend the legs, and secure them. No tools are needed, and most users can do it in 30 seconds or less.
Q2: Can the stand be used outdoors?
A2: It's primarily intended for indoor use (garages, workshops). While the galvanized steel resists mild rust, prolonged outdoor exposure to heavy rain, snow, or direct sunlight may degrade the PU foam (e.g., fading, water absorption) and weaken the galvanized coating. If used outdoors temporarily (e.g., for a yard project), cover it with a waterproof tarp when not in use and wipe the steel frame dry afterward.
Q3: Does the height adjustment stay locked in place?
A3: Yes. The height adjustment uses sturdy locking pins that fit into pre-drilled holes on the leg tubes. Once you set the desired height, the pins lock firmly to prevent the stand from sliding down or collapsing under load. Always double-check that the pins are fully inserted before placing heavy workpieces on the stand.
Q4: Can the PU foam be replaced if it gets damaged?
A4: Absolutely. The PU foam is attached with adhesive, so replacing it is simple. If the foam tears, compresses, or wears out, remove the old foam, clean the stand's arm surface, and attach new 1/2" PU foam (available at hardware or foam supply stores). Contact our customer service for a step-by-step replacement guide if needed.
Q5: How much does the stand itself weigh?
A5: The stand weighs approximately 16-21 Lbs (varies slightly by packaging). Its lightweight design, combined with the foldable structure, makes it easy for one person to carry from storage to the work area. Despite being light, the galvanized steel construction ensures it can still support up to 500 Lbs.
