How to Choose an Auto Body Frame Rack

What is an auto body frame rack?

An auto body frame rack is a shop tool that anchors a damaged vehicle and applies controlled hydraulic force to pull bent frame rails, unibody sections, or structural panels back to factory measurements. Racks range from portable single-point pullers to full-length bench systems with multiple pull towers for simultaneous, multi-direction pulls.

Portable puller or full bench rack — which fits your shop?

Choose a portable puller like the KT-CL150 or KT-222 if you handle occasional dent and minor collision work and need a tool that stores away between jobs. Choose a bench rack like the KT-310, KT-198L, or KT-299U if you run a dedicated collision bay and need to anchor and pull full vehicles on a fixed rail system.

How much pulling capacity do you need?

Match tonnage to the damage severity and vehicle class you see most often. Katool's lineup runs from the KT-CL150 at 10-ton hydraulic force up to the KT-SB288 rated at 50 kN, with the KT-222 (5-ton) and KT-YA260 covering mid-range collision and minor frame work.

Full-frame trucks or unibody cars — does the rack matter?

Long-rail bench machines such as the KT-299U (22 ft) and KT-198L (20 ft welded steel) are built for full-length vehicle anchoring on both full-frame trucks and unibody passenger cars, while compact pullers are sized for panel and localized frame sections rather than full-vehicle setups.
