Collision energy travels through the whole structure. We measure, pull and verify unibody and full-frame vehicles back to manufacturer tolerances on a Celette Smart Rhône bench.
Frame straightening returns a vehicle’s structure to the dimensions it left the factory with. After a collision we anchor the vehicle to the bench, measure every control point against OEM reference data, and use calibrated hydraulic pulling to bring the structure back in controlled stages. Then we measure again and document it.
Steering, suspension geometry and crumple zones all depend on a square frame. A few millimeters out shows up as pulling, uneven tire wear and poor handling.
Airbag timing and ADAS sensors reference factory points. Structural misalignment can compromise how they perform.
A documented before-and-after measurement is what carriers approve and what a future buyer’s inspection will look for.
Electronic measuring maps the structure against factory specs and exposes hidden damage a visual inspection misses.
A written repair plan with the measurements attached. We coordinate approval and supplements with your carrier.
Anchored on the Smart Rhône and pulled in controlled stages, re-measuring between each pull.
Final measurement report, then alignment, suspension and safety-system checks before refinishing begins.
A multipurpose bench built for light, medium and heavy collision repair. The vehicle is anchored and ready to pull in under fifteen minutes, with ten tons of pulling force, and it accepts Celette’s dedicated MZ+ jig system and universal Cameleon fixtures alongside 3D electronic measuring — so repairs are checked against the manufacturer’s reference points, not eyeballed.
