Auto Body Frame Machine - Katool KT-310 with 360-Degree Pulling Tower
The Katool KT-310 is a hydraulic frame straightener for collision repairs on vehicles up to 7,000 lbs, with a platform that adjusts from 4.3 to 67 inches. CE-certified with Q235/Q245 steel construction, this unit delivers 60 kN pulling force through 360-degree rotating towers on 220V power.
Auto Body Frame Machine Features
360-Degree Pulling Tower with 60 kN Force
Heavy-duty tower mount with secure locking mechanism60 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
Dual 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
Two-screw clamps versus traditional four-bolt systemsTwo 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size vehicles can the KT-310 handle?
Vehicles up to 7,000 lbs with wheelbases from 90 to 120 inches. That covers most passenger cars, compact SUVs, and light trucks under 3.5 tons.
Does the KT-310 require special electrical wiring?
Yes, 220V power with a dedicated 30-amp breaker. Most shops need a licensed electrician if only 110V outlets exist.
How much floor space do I need?
Minimum 16' x 12' bay for full 360-degree tower rotation with 3' clearance on all sides. The 34.5" width fits narrower bays than competing 7,000 lb machines.
Can one person operate the KT-310?
Yes, once the vehicle is positioned. Quick-fix clamps take about 5 minutes total, and all controls operate from a single panel.
What's included with the KT-310?
Main frame platform, pulling towers, quick-fix clamps, four rotating lifting arms, bench supporter, and hydraulic power unit with control panel. You supply hydraulic fluid (10 gal ISO 32), anchor bolts, and 220V connection.
How does scissor-lift mode work?
Four lifting arms rotate 180 degrees to create vehicle lift points. Each locks at 15-degree intervals and extends to match different wheelbases, raising vehicles from 4.3" to 67".
What maintenance does the KT-310 require?
Check hydraulic fluid monthly, inspect clamp threads and tower bearings every 50 uses, lubricate pivot points weekly. Replace fluid annually or after 500 hours.
How does setup time compare to traditional frame racks?
5-7 minutes with two-screw clamps versus 20-30 minutes for traditional four/six-bolt systems. The 360-degree tower rotation eliminates mid-repair vehicle repositioning.
