Frame Machines FAQs

How much shop space is needed around a frame machine?

Plan for the machine's working envelope, not just its footprint. Leave room to load vehicles, move towers, operate measuring equipment, position tools, and safely work around all sides.

What accessories should I consider with a frame machine?

Common needs include pulling towers, chains, clamps, anchoring fixtures, ramps, lifting components, measuring systems, and vehicle-specific adapters. Check what is included so you can compare the complete setup cost.

Can a frame machine handle trucks and SUVs?

Some systems can handle larger trucks and SUVs, while others are optimized for passenger vehicles. Verify platform dimensions, rated vehicle weight, wheelbase, anchoring options, and accessory requirements for the exact machine.

How much pulling capacity do I need in a frame machine?

Required pulling force depends on the repairs and vehicles you handle. Compare tower ratings, number and positioning of towers, anchoring, platform capacity, and approved pulling configurations rather than relying on one maximum-force number.

What size frame machine does my collision shop need?

Choose based on the largest vehicles you repair, expected collision work, platform dimensions, vehicle capacity, pulling force, tower configuration, anchoring system, and available shop space.
