ABSTRACT:
A work rack structure for correcting and aligning misshapen vehicle frame and body portions comprises a rack structure having a vehicle supportive upper surface and a lower surface and with generally continuous front and rear end and opposite side rack portions having inner and outer marginal flanges and joined together to form a central interior opening whereby a vehicle straddles the opening for work access to the underside thereof. Front and rear supportive foot members are affixed to the rack structure for elevation above a floor surface, the rear supportive foot members being swingably mounted to the rack structure and having power fluid rams operatively connected thereto for folding the foot members and kneeling the rack structure to facilitate positioning of a vehicle thereon. A plurality of force applying members are affixed to the rack structure and are easily movable therearound so that they can be selectively positioned to exert force on substantially any part of the vehicle. The force applying members have locking pins for engagement with the rack structure and rollers which normally engage the inner and outer marginal flanges of the rack structure for translational movement thereon and when a pulling force is exerted by the force applying structure, the structure shifts upwardly relative to the rack structure and frictionally engages the inner and outer marginal flanges to prevent movement thereon.
