Abstract: A vehicle straightening bench having a work platform with an inner track and an outer track. The platform has side edges and end edges with curved corners therebetween. A pulling tower assembly is movably mounted to the inner and outer tracks via a carriage having a generally triangular shaped wheel arrangement.

Abstract: A lifting platform with a scissor type jack. The jack includes a plurality of inter-connected struts pivotally connected to a base forming a double X strut arrangement. A power actuator is connected to at least one strut in each X to effect extension and retraction of the jack. A safety latch is provided to prevent accidental retraction of the jack from an extended position should the power actuator fail to hold the jack in the elevated position.

Abstract: A vehicle chassis straightening bench. The bench includes a platform on which a chassis can be secured and have various forces applied to locations on the chassis to assist in repairing collision damage or the like. The bench includes at least one pulling assembly comprising a head movably mounted in a guide. The head is movable by actuation of a double acting hydraulic cylinder. An attachment member is attached to a holder portion of the head and movable thereby. The attachment member can be selectively secured to a portion of a chassis for transmitting force from the hydraulic cylinder to the chassis.
