Upgrade Your Frame Rack for Today's Vehicle Repairs: A Comprehensive Guide
As the collision repair industry continues to evolve, it's crucial to equip yourself with updated tools and equipment to effectively fix today's vehicles. With the increasing use of aluminum and advanced high-strength steels, new welders, and smart rivet guns, and other shop tools have taken the spotlight.
However, it's equally important to recognize the vital role of the frame rack, which has adapted to meet the specific needs of collision repair shops. Let's explore why the frame rack remains an indispensable foundation for most repairs and how you can cost-effectively equip it for today's vehicles.

Anchoring for Precise Sectioning
Today's OEMs often recommend sectioning and replacing damaged aluminum and advanced high-strength steel parts instead of pulling or heating them, as these metals require precise handling. Modern vehicles are meticulously designed to redirect collision forces around the passenger compartment, necessitating precise repairs that adhere to OEM specifications for occupant safety.

To ensure accurate and secure repairs, anchoring the vehicle throughout the repair process is crucial. By adding additional holding components like those found in our Structural Holding Clamp Packages, you can update your existing frame rack for this critical task.
FYI: Using the old method of using blocks and chains to straighten full-frame vehicles and trucks is totally inappropriate for today's modern, highly advanced vehicles. You will be causing more harm than good and wasting a tremendous amount of valuable time.

Achieving Precise Frame Pulls
Despite the advancements in light-duty truck construction, many still rely on sturdy steel frames. After a collision, these frames may require careful pulling to restore their shape. Equipping your frame rack with supplemental structural holding components empowers technicians to distribute pulling pressure evenly and provides a solid foundation for bracing the vehicle. This ensures precise and effective frame pulls, resulting in high-quality repairs.
