Truck pulls need reach more than anything. The Katool KT-SB288 pairs 50 kN of hydraulic force with a 3.5 meter chain, so body and frame shops can set long pulls without a fixed rack.
The hand pump is fully self-contained, no shop air required, and the Q235/Q245 steel frame takes repeated pulls without complaint. It ships ready to work: tower, pump, chain, and hooks.
Not sure it reaches what you work on? Call us and we'll check it against your jobs.

Call (855) 498-2147Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum pulling force of the Katool KT-SB288?
The KT-SB288 delivers 50 KN (11,200 lb) of hydraulic pulling force through a manual hand pump at 70 MPa working pressure. This capacity is designed for truck frame straightening and auto body panel correction on commercial vehicles while still allowing single-operator use.
What components are included with the frame straightener?
Complete kit includes quick repair pulling tower (1 set), manual hydraulic hand pump (1 set), 3.5-meter chain with hook (1 piece), and six-claw pulling hook (1 unit). All components needed for immediate operation are included in the package. The six-claw pulling hook provides multiple attachment points for secure gripping on various vehicle components.
Does the KT-SB288 require compressed air to operate?
No external air source is required. The manual hydraulic hand pump gives complete independence from shop air systems, which is ideal for mobile repair applications and facilities with limited compressor capacity while still delivering the full 50 KN pulling force.
What types of vehicles can this frame straightener handle?
Designed for truck frame rail straightening, auto body panel correction, and structural component repair. The 50 KN force capacity and 3.5-meter chain reach make it suitable for commercial vehicles, cars, and light trucks requiring professional frame alignment work. Applications include collision damage repair, minor frame corrections, and structural adjustments on vehicles ranging from passenger cars to medium-duty commercial trucks.
What are the dimensions and weight of the KT-SB288?
The KT-SB288 measures 39.6 inches long × 25.6 inches wide × 35.4 inches high and weighs 143.3 lb (65 kg). The compact footprint is designed for shops with space constraints while maintaining professional frame straightening capability. The portable design allows for positioning flexibility within the shop bay and enables single-operator setup for various pulling angles required in frame straightening work.
What warranty coverage is provided with this equipment?
Katool provides a 1-year warranty on all parts and components, plus a 3-year warranty on structural frame components. Free shipping is included on warranty replacement parts. Labor costs and return freight are not covered under warranty terms. Warranty claims require approval from the manufacturer warranty department and may require photos or videos of defects.
How is the KT-SB288 shipped and what are delivery requirements?
Ships via freight delivery to the lower 48 states with typical delivery in 3–7 business days. Customer is responsible for unloading from the delivery truck. A forklift or loading dock is recommended due to the crated weight and dimensions. Residential addresses may incur additional freight surcharges. Inspect all packages thoroughly before signing the bill of lading and note any visible damage.
What materials are used in the construction of this frame straightener?
The KT-SB288 is constructed from Q235 and Q245 structural steel, providing professional-grade durability typically found in higher-priced rack systems. These materials ensure long-term reliability for repeated high-force frame straightening operations in professional collision repair environments. The structural steel construction can withstand the stress and fatigue associated with 50 KN force applications over extended service life.
