ABSTRACT:
A portable frame straightening apparatus for straightening and repairing vehicles which is comprised of a frame structure (1) to which the damaged vehicle (124) is attached. The structure (1) is bolted to a plate (21) which is anchored to the floor. The frame structure (1) and the attached damaged vehicle (124) can be rotated to achieve the desired angle of pull needed to repair the damage. The structure (1) is then secured to the floor with a chain (214) on either side which are fastened to anchors (216) in the floor so as to prevent rotation of the structure (1) while pulling. An independently standing pulling tower (213) which is also rotatable in a similar fashion to the plate (21) can accommodate various vertical adjustments for height variation as needed in pulling on the damaged vehicle. By removing the center bolt (107) which holds the frame structure (1) to the plate (21) that is anchored in the floor, the assembly (1) can easily be loaded on a cart (270) and moved to clear the floor space for other types of work.
