Abstract
A relatively lightweight, rigid, mobile work rack for correcting and aligning misshapen vehicle frame and body portions comprises spaced, parallel beam members and a central open space for unhindered access which extends the entire length of the rack. Front and rear pairs of legs individually or in combination between pairs swing up and down to selectively lower the entire rack or to tilt either the front or the rear end. The legs are mounted so that the entire rack fully lowers to rest upon the work shop floor and raises to a handy working height. A locking arrangement permits elevation of the rack at intermediate heights. Force applying structures are also selectively mountable to the work rack at various areas about its periphery and are braced for pulls to repair damaged vehicles.
