Bobbins, forks or single-siders — our bench-tested guide matches stand type and load rating to your exact bike in two minutes.
Read the guideStart with the job, not the price. If you're adjusting a chain, lubing or removing a rear wheel, you need a rear paddock stand — L-hook type if your swingarm has threaded bobbin holes (8 mm or 10 mm), cup-adapter type if it doesn't. For parking, cleaning and van or trailer transport, a self-locking front wheel chock holds the bike upright hands-free the moment you roll into it.
Load rating is the spec that matters most. Take your bike's wet weight from the owner's manual and add a 25% margin. We weight-test every stand in this range in our own workshop before listing it, and the rating printed on the product page is the tested figure — not the box claim.
For engine-out work, the 450 kg engine and gearbox stand holds a full powertrain on a 360° indexed swivel head, so you can rotate the block to reach sump, head and clutch side without re-rigging.
Ratings verified quarterly against our in-house load tests. Last reviewed July 2026.

A paddock stand lifts one wheel off the ground for maintenance jobs like chain adjustment or wheel removal. A wheel chock grips the front wheel to hold the bike upright without lifting it — ideal for parking, cleaning and transport tie-downs. Many riders use a chock at the front with a rear paddock stand for full stability.
Match the stand to your bike's wet weight plus a 25% safety margin. A 200 kg-rated stand covers most middleweight bikes; heavy tourers and adventure bikes need 300 kg or more. Our engine and gearbox stands are rated to 450 kg for full powertrain work.
Only for bobbin-type (L-hook) stands, which lift on 8 mm or 10 mm bobbins screwed into the swingarm. If your swingarm has no threaded holes, choose a fork/cup-adapter stand instead — no bobbins required.
A self-locking wheel chock holds the bike upright, but for transport you must also use ratchet tie-down straps to at least four anchor points, compressing the front suspension slightly. Bolt or strap the chock itself to the van or trailer bed first.
