ABSTRACT:
A portable apparatus for repairing and straightening vehicles includes a cage structure having upper and lower spaced apart U-shaped tracks having forward and rearward ends. A plurality of tower assemblies are supported upon the tracks for movement therealong. A hydraulic power means is attached to the exterior of the tower for exerting a downward pulling force upon a tension member trained around a series of pulleys and attached to the damaged portion of the vehicle. The apparatus includes a lifting mechanism on a support surface for level uniform raising and lowering of the entire cage structure to provide access to the underneath side of the vehicle. Various brackets allow downward forces to be applied to the vehicle while an overhead hoist allows upward forces to be applied to the vehicle. A tie down bracket assembly is provided for clamping onto the rocker panels of a unibody vehicle for holding such a vehicle in place upon the supporting surface of the apparatus.
