defektes is correct in this case. The Hein Werners are rated per pair, as stated in their owner's manual:

"Rated capacity is per pair" http://www.shinnfuamerica.com/Temp/708.PDF

However, other companies sometimes rate their jack stands
individually, such as with US Jacks: "Rated capacity is PER Stand" http://www.usjack.com/catalog/Page 10.pdf

IMO, the higher rated US Jack stands look "cheesier" to the eye and it is difficult for me to believe that they have twice the capacity..... 3 tons vs. 1.5 tons.
