ABSTRACT:
A rack for use with automotive bodies, has a substantially rigid frame of welded steel sections to receive an automotive body in secured relation on the rack in supported space relation above a floor surface. The rack has a series of depending flanged shear members extending beneath it, onto which a tiltable thrust plate, that forms a nose portion of an elongated trolley, can be attached. The trolley nose portion is pushed against a flange, to mount it, and bear against the respective rack shear member. The trolley forms part of a loading system, the trolley having a detachable upstanding tower portion from which a racking chain or chains can be secured to the automotive body, the tower including jacking provisions by which deforming tension forces can be applied by way of the chain between the tower and the body. The trolley has a spring-loaded rear wheel suspension, which permits it to accommodate to irregular floor surfaces. The trolley is substantially self stabilizing in jamming relation against the underside of the rack.
