ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for holding a partly assembled vehicle body (13) includes a main framework structure (3) supported on two pairs of pillars (1), the structure being mounted about a horizontal pivot (5) on the rear pair of pillars for up and down pivotal movement. Mounted on the structure (3) are a pair of outwardly moveable inner frames (9) carrying clamps (11) which are isertable through the upper aperture(s) in the body (e.g. the space subsequently to be filled by the windscreens and/or roof panel), enabling the body to be clamped from inside to give free access to outside workers or robots (21). The frames may also carry dedicated tooling, such as a spot welder.
