Auto Body Frame Machine Features

360-Degree Pulling Tower with 60 kN Force

Katool KT-310 tower base with pivoting lock plate and caster wheel assemblyHeavy-duty tower mount with secure locking mechanism

60 kN (13,488 lbf) pulling force with full 360-degree rotation. Towers lock at any angle using the bench supporter system so you can pull directly from the damage point without repositioning the vehicle. Quick-fix mounting lets you move towers between positions in under 2 minutes.

Low 4.3-Inch Drive-On Height

Katool KT-310 dual hydraulic cylinders with reinforced pivot bracketsDual hydraulic cylinders lift from 4.3" to 67"

110 mm (4.3") entry height so damaged vehicles roll straight on without steep ramps or extra lifting equipment. Platform rises to 67" on dual hydraulic cylinders with nine locking positions for comfortable working height whether you're under the car or aligning roof structures.

Quick-Fix Clamp System

Katool KT-310 adjustable jaw clamp assembly with support armsTwo-screw clamps versus traditional four-bolt systems

Two screws instead of four or six bolts cuts setup time to about 5 minutes per vehicle. Each clamp adjusts to grip frame rails 3-8" wide and slides anywhere along the 130.8" deck. One clamp set covers compact cars through mid-size SUVs.

Four Rotating Lifting Arms for Scissor-Lift Mode

180-degree rotating arms turn the bench into a scissor-lift style frame machine. Each arm extends independently to match wheelbases from 90 to 120 inches and locks at 15-degree intervals. This dual-function design can eliminate the need for a separate vehicle lift in tight bays.

Compact 34.5-Inch Width

Fits a standard 12-foot bay with room to work around all sides. Welded Q235/Q245 steel frame with 100mm x 50mm rectangular tubing (5mm wall thickness) supports full 7,000 lb capacity. Detachable towers store vertically when not in use.
