Chief offers Chassis Liner Frame Rack in custom packages for collision repair

The Chassis Liner Heavy-Duty Trucker is available from Chief distributors to provide a pulling package for repairing a wide range of heavy-duty vehicles, including trucks, trailers, buses and recreational vehicles. The pulling system is built on a multi-use platform so it can be customized to meet any heavy-duty shop’s needs for less than the cost of a rail system, the company says.

“The Heavy-Duty Trucker is built to repair everything from a half-ton pickup to a triple-rail cement truck, and everything in between,” says TJ Schultz, Chief’s northern division sales manager. “For shops that focus on any variety of repairs, including trailer roll-over work, axle corrections, trailer re-crowning, passenger buses, or other specialties, we can provide an enhanced, affordable pulling package to meet the need.”

The Heavy-Duty Trucker frame rack is available in 32-, 40-ft. or custom bed lengths. Features include a drive-on deck that provides access to the vehicle being repaired, removable drive-on ramps and non-skid treadways for easy loading of the vehicle to be repaired, and a bed that is plumbed for air in multiple locations to speed prep time. It is available with four, six or eight seven-foot-tall cab towers, providing 360 degrees of pulling with 25 tons of pulling power, and two pulls per tower. Laser-cut tie-downs are located in the inner and outer portion of the treadways, and there are center hold pockets for additional tie-downs and anchoring. A jacking beam allows for pushing up on frames.

Black curtains surround the room that's segmented by rolling privacy screens, blocking off the business end of a European Volvo truck (is it an FH? An electric? It's hard to tell.) This is the only area trucking journalists from North America are allowed in. The rest of the building, named Lundby, high-tech center for research and development at Volvo Trucks headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden, is off-limits. Even several of the Gothenburg-based Volvo Trucks employees that are presenting haven't been allowed in this building before. But what we're here to talk about is anything but a secret.
