ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for repairing and straightening vehicles includes upper and lower tracks supported in vertically spaced relation by a frame, each track including a pair of laterally spaced apart and longitudinally extending side members. A plurality of tower assemblies are supported on the upper and lower tracks for longitudinal movement therealong. A pit is provided in which cross members support rails positioned directly under side bars of a truck vehicle for a tie-down to extend around the rails and to the vehicle side bars. A longitudinally moveable beam is provided between adjacent lower tracks and the pair of rails and is limited against vertical movement by horizontal flanges facing each other on the tracks and pair of rails. A pulley on the moveable beam engages a tension member extending from the tower to the vehicle to provide a downward pull on the vehicle between the track members and the rails. The structure of the tower assembly allows for pulling on the vehicle frame only at a 90.degree. angle as the pulley on top of the cylinder is limited against turning as is the chain is restricted to one side of the tower by a guide on the tower.
