Default New Jack Stand for Car Enthusiasts

Hello Boxster Forum,

I'd like to first take a moment to briefly introduce myself. My name is Frank Ceravolo, I'm the CEO of RennStand Inc., and I recently became a site sponsor, but I’ve been a member of Rennlist since 2009, around the time when I acquired my 993. It was through the knowledge shared here on Rennlist that I learned how to maintain my car, and in doing so I came up with the idea for a new type of jack stand.

It's been a few years in development, with durability testing of the design done by an engineer from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, and we have been granted multiple utility patents. At the moment we are working very hard to manufacture a production version of the stands and make them available to everyone who has expressed interest.

Back in June of this year I shared the concept with the 993 forum, and so many members responded positively that we now have a website up www.rennstand.com and are building a list of customers through the "join our list" section of our site, after many had asked us to do so.

Here’s the link to the original thread in the 993 forum: https://rennlist.com/forums/993-forum...-new-idea.html

And a video demo of one of our prototypes:


Thanks for taking the time to check out the stands, and I hope you will visit our website www.rennstand.com and join our list, as well as provide any thoughts or questions you're willing to share with us. It's been largely the interest of forum members that has inspired us to drive the project forward, and that support is greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,

Frank Ceravolo, CEO
RennStand Inc.

Default Neat concept.

Doesn't look complicated to manufacture. When do you expect to have it in production.

Sorry for not responding until now, as I didn't see the notification for some reason.

Thank you! They're not complicated to manufacture at all once the dimensions are balanced and dialed in. As for a production date, we're still working on that but it won't be too long.

Sorry I don't have an answer for you at this time. There's still some variables we are working out with regards to the manufacturing but I hope to have something finalized soon
