ABSTRACT:
A painting wagon carries a plurality of components to be painted through a painting facility. The wagon includes a component supporting assembly having a plurality of opposed pairs of component mounting pins fixed thereto. The component supporting assembly is supported by a base structure having wheels which permit the painting wagon to be translated. The component supporting assembly may be selectively adjusted between a contracted configuration in which each of the pairs of opposed mounting pins, and thus the components mounted thereon, are oriented in contracted proximity to one another, so as to minimize the overall size of the wagon with the components mounted thereon to accommodate given dimensional limitations of the painting facility and an expanded configuration in which the pairs of opposed mounting pins, and thus the components mounted thereon, are oriented so as to be expanded apart from one another so that individual components may be mounted and dismounted onto the component mounting pins with reduced danger of bumping an adjacently mounted component and thus damaging the surface finish of the components.
