ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for supporting a unibody vehicle for straightening and alignment purposes has a pair of crossbars clamped to the pinch welds on the underside of the vehicle body and at the ends of each crossbar there is affixed a vertical tower. Each vertical tower is pivotably connected to a wheel assembly and each vertical tower attached to a selected one of several heights with respect to the wheel assembly. A bench frame is positioned beneath the attached crossbars and attached thereto. The tilting of the crossbars on the wheel assembly and the vertical positioning of the crossbars with respect to the wheel assemblies facilitates loading of the vehicle onto the apparatus and enables the loaded vehicle to be positioned at a desired work height.
There is also disclosed a tower device which is movable independently of the apparatus for application of a force to a part of a vehicle supported on the apparatus.
