Katool KT-YA260 50 kN Portable Auto Body Frame Puller and Frame Straightener
The Katool KT-YA260 is a portable hydraulic frame straightener delivering 50 kN (11,240 lb) of pulling force through a self-contained manual hydraulic system at 70 MPa. Weighing 143 lb with a 39.6" x 25.6" x 35.4" footprint, this frame puller requires no external air or electrical connections and is built for single-operator collision repair.
Key Features & Benefits
Self-Contained Hydraulic System
No external air or power needed. The integrated manual hydraulic system delivers full 70 MPa pressure through a built-in pump, cylinder, and pull tower.
True portability. Move the KT-YA260 between bays or to mobile repair locations without tying into shop infrastructure.
Compact Professional-Grade Performance
50 kN pulling force in a small footprint. The 39.6" x 25.6" x 35.4" tower takes up far less space than full-size frame racks while delivering controlled, long-stroke pulls on unibody vehicles.
Store when not in use. Roll it out for collision jobs without dedicating permanent floor space.
Saw-Tooth Chain Precision
Micro-adjustable positioning. The saw-tooth chain locks at any point along its length — not just fixed pin locations — giving you fine control over pull direction and chain length.
Faster cycle times. Fewer reset-ups and more accurate geometry correction compared to basic portable pullers with coarse pin spacing.
Single-Operator Design
One tech handles the entire job. Ground anchoring, chain adjustment, and hydraulic pumping are all positioned for solo operation without a second set of hands.
Lower labor costs. Turn frame straightening work faster without adding headcount to each repair.
Heavy-Duty Steel Construction
Q235/Q245 structural steel. Welded tower and base handle full 50 kN loads repeatedly without flex.
3-year structural warranty. Built for years of daily use in professional collision environments.
