Abstract:
A frame pulling apparatus for applying multiple pulling forces to a damaged structure such as an automobile, and including two or more pulling stations slidably mounted on, and adjustably positionable between a pair of vertically extending parallel support posts extending upwardly from a base. Each of the pulling stations includes a hydraulically actuated cylinder disposed within a telescopically extending power post and a load chain directed about a pulley at the end of the power posts, wherein actuation of the cylinders causes telescopic extension of the power posts thereby applying a pulling force equally on two independently extending legs of the load chain, the legs being separately attached to the damaged structure.
