ABSTRACT:
A measuring platform system is utilized to measure the extent of damaged or misaligned vehicle frames or bodies to expedite the repair thereof. The platform becomes the measuring datum plane from which all measurements as to the pre and post repair locus of a particular reference point on the vehicle are taken as to height above the datum plane and distance from a longitudinal centerline of the datum plane. Means are provided as a part of the platform system to raise the vehicle and move same to a position where the longitudinal vertical plane through the centerline of the vehicle intersects the centerline of the datum plane. A computer can be used as a part of the system.
