The present invention relates to a jack stand. The jack stand includes a base and a post for extending from the base. A top is provided for topping the post and engaging with a load. The top includes a load spreader for spreading the weight of the load to the post. Advantageously, the spreader spreads the weight of the load to the post thereby resulting in a more heavy duty jack-stand, rated for significantly higher loads, than prior jack stands which instead can fracture under heavy unbalanced loads locally travelling along one side when the loading is not evenly spread.
