Single Arm Professional Repair Stand Pro Shop Quick-Release

The Single Arm Pro Stand with the Pro Shop quick-release clamp is the workhorse single-arm shop stand fitted for high-throughput bike-to-bike workflow. Same 36 kg base-and-column mass under the same 30 kg working capacity as the manually adjustable variant; the difference lives in the clamp head. The Pro Shop QR opens and closes the jaws in one motion against a pre-set pressure, so a mechanic working through a service queue isn't re-dialing the clamp on every bike.

For a shop seeing twenty-plus bikes through the floor on a Saturday, the QR clamp is the working detail that pays back fastest. Drop the bike out, drop the next bike in, hit the QR; the clamp closes against the same pressure setting that held the previous bike. Adjustment time per bike falls from two motions to one, and the pressure stays consistent across the queue without the mechanic having to think about it.

The Single Arm Pro Stand body is the same column-on-tripod design that's anchored most US workshop benches for thirty-plus years; the design is conservative for a reason, and the 36 kg base-and-column mass is what makes the column stay vertical when a heavy bike loads it eccentrically. The clamp pressure on the QR is adjustable through the full range from “light grip on carbon” to “shop-grade hold on a wet aluminum tube”; the QR mechanism is mechanical (no electronics, no batteries) and built to outlast the rest of the shop fixtures.

Built in Zreče, Slovenia

Unior has been forging hand tools in Zreče since 1919, and is the official technical partner of multiple World Tour and downhill teams. The Single Arm Pro Stand is one of the catalog items that hasn't needed redesign in a decade; the 36 kg base does its job, the column geometry has been refined over multiple production runs, and the Pro Shop QR clamp on top is the same clamp head fitted to the Double Arm Pro and the BikeGator+ portable. What makes the Single Arm a shop stand rather than a portable is the base; the clamp is interchangeable across the family.

Pro tip from our mechanics

The Single Arm Pro Shop QR is what we recommend when a one-mechanic shop or a serious home builder asks for a stand that will outlast the building it's installed in. The 36 kg base is overkill for a one-bike home garage, but it's not overkill for a working mechanic; the column doesn't wobble under a hard pry on a stuck pedal, and the clamp doesn't slip on a wet seatpost. The QR-versus-cam decision is mostly about how often the stand sees a new bike: How to choose a bike repair stand →
