A specialized piece of equipment employed in collision repair centers, this technology utilizes hydraulics, chains, and pulling systems to restore a vehicle’s chassis to its original factory specifications after an accident. This ensures proper alignment, structural integrity, and the safe operation of the vehicle. For example, a severely damaged unibody structure can be returned to its intended shape using this equipment.
Accurate chassis alignment is crucial for vehicle safety and performance. Restoring a damaged frame ensures that suspension components, steering systems, and safety features like airbags function as designed. Prior to this technology, significant frame damage often resulted in a vehicle being declared a total loss. This equipment has revolutionized the collision repair industry, allowing technicians to repair vehicles previously deemed irreparable, thus saving vehicle owners significant costs and extending the lifespan of vehicles.
