Abstract: The present invention provides a single system to accommodate the various types of vehicle repair situations. The present invention provides a multi-modular vehicle repair system comprising a vehicle repair frame, a vehicle restraint removably mounted on the vehicle repair frame and a force device associated with the vehicle repair frame. Additionally, the present invention provides vehicle repair modules that can be attached to or associated with the vehicle repair frame. Such vehicle repair modules includes a frame support module, a lift module and a ramp module. Each of those modules can be of different types to accommodate the varying conditions of vehicle repair encountered by the vehicle repair facility operator.

Abstract: A multiple-axis motion module for holding a tool and providing an apparatus for moving such a tool about multiple-axis. The multiple-axis motion module is used in combination with a vehicle transportation system for moving, positioning and manipulating vehicles and vehicle parts.

Abstract: A vehicle and vehicle parts transportation system used for moving, positioning and manipulating a vehicle and vehicle parts primarily when a vehicle is damaged or in the need of repairs. The system consists of a power module having interchangeable legs and parts that allow the power module to be reconfigured as to its height, width and length and various tool modules. The power module becomes a different tool as required or desired by the operator by simply adding or removing a tool module. Each specific tool module provides the necessary lifting and motive force apparatus and means for maneuvering the tool module for performing the necessary operation.

Abstract: A support for a tool used to straighten the metal portions of a vehicle supported on a support floor. The tool includes a chain adapted to engage the vehicle and the support floor and a hydraulically actuated cylinder having an extensible plunger adapted to engage the chain intermediate its ends. The other end of the cylinder is mounted on a base for pivotal movement about an axis substantially parallel to a support floor. The base has a bottom surface for engaging the support floor and a pin extending perpendicularly from the bottom surface and adapted to be received in a complimentary hole in the support floor.
