Expanded HD Collision Repair Line from Chief

A new heavy duty repair line of products from Chief, North America has just been introduced.

The company notes that the offerings are “designed to help heavy-duty body shops improve technician ergonomics, shop efficiency, repair quality and cycle times.”

The new Chief heavy-duty product line includes:

New Centurion heavy-duty frame rack.
New Cam Scan HD™ photogrammetric measuring system.
New Vulcan ADU adhesive debonding unit.
New Chief heavy-duty rivet gun.
New Chief blind rivet attachment for PNP90 rivet gun.
Rotary® Lift Mach Series mobile column lifts.
Chassis-Liner Heavy-Duty Trucker™ frame rack.

Noted Lee Daugherty, Chief global data product manager, “There are no OEM specifications to follow when straightening frames that can be 60 feet long or bringing multiple axles back into alignment. Squaring up a trailer that has rolled and repairing a cab that’s manufactured with a mix of steel, aluminum and other materials also can be tricky when relying on traditional measuring and repair tools.”

The new Chief heavy-duty product line is engineered, as Daugherty stated, to “provide fleets, independent repair shops and dealers with modern equipment that is faster and easier to use, reduces the chance of technician injury, speeds up the repair process and makes it possible to meet the growing need to document repairs.”
