The claimed weight capacity(over 3 tons !) seems ridiculous until you see the item. Well made ,well designed ,simple to use. The unit is very stable due to it's weight and wide stance. I have some cheapo stands and they are dangerous because they are easily tipped over when maneuvering a heavy pipe or beam. There is only one location hole in the silver colored inner pipe. For my application I may need to drill an additional hole to achieve the adjustment to the height that I need. Yes that may weaken it but I'll only be using maybe 10% of the load capacity. The packaging is grossly inadequate. It arrived with the box disintegrated and repaired by FedEx. Thanks FedEx !
