ABSTRACT:
A clamping device comprises a clamping means disposed towards an upper end of the device for clamping to a vehicle body and a securing means disposed towards a lower end of the device for releasably securing first and second transverse support members. The device is clamped to a vehicle body and supports the vehicle body in a fixed position above the transverse support members.
Vehicle clamping and support apparatus includes four such clamping devices. One pair of clamping devices is clamped to opposite, rear undersides of the vehicle body. The other pair of clamping devices is clamped to opposite, front undersides of the vehicle body. First and second support members are then slideably positioned along the lateral undersides of the vehicle by slideably engaging the support members with the clamping devices clamped along each side of the vehicle. Third and fourth support members slideably engage the front and rear clamping device pairs, respectively, transversely to the first and second support members. The support members are secured to the clamping devices to provide a rigid framework for supporting the vehicle which facilitates collision repair work on the vehicle.
