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.
