Floor jack? Most places I have had to change a tire, did not have a floor. If the jack can't roll, won't always lift.
Bottle jack is always limited for stroke. Often if jack will go under lift point with flat tire, will not lift high enough to get inflated tire on. Pull flat up on block, loosen nuts. Jack up enough to move block. Get out, spin off nuts, remove block, R&R wheel, spin nuts on, lower and retrieve jack, torque nuts.
Note, I said nothing about a jack stand. You have to be under the vehicle supported by jack to get the stand in place. Changing a tire, this just increases your risk. If only under while the wheel will hold it up, that's best.
OP, what makes you think you need 20 ton? A 6 will lift a way overloaded pickup.
