Collision repair equipment manufacturer Chief has introduced a new frame rack known as the Centurion. The Centurion offers custom lengths up to 80 ft. and 55 tons of pulling power.
“The huge productivity advantage of the technician-friendly Centurion is its drive-on capability and quick set-up,” explains Lee Daugherty, Chief’s heavy-duty sales manager. “It can take up to an hour and a half to get a vehicle ready to pull on other racks. With the Centurion, a technician can get even the largest heavy-duty vehicles on the rack, position the towers and be ready to make the first pull within 10 minutes. It’s a much faster—and less risky—solution than the industry practice of hand-building a pulling system out of heavy pieces of steel every time you need to make a repair.”
The deck comes in 40-, 60- or 80-ft. lengths, but it is available in any custom length that meets a customer’s needs. Customers can choose 10-ft. or 14-ft. hydraulic towers. The towers move independently to allow 360-degree pulling. Other features include a deck which is pre-plumbed with air, controls and hydraulic outlets every 10 ft., which the company says will speed prep time. The drive-on ramps for the Centurion also have spring-loaded rollers for easy movability.
