Vehicle repair cradle with curved frame - has curved rails joined by longitudinal bearers and running in base supports with flanged rollers

摘要

The vehicle repair cradle consists of two curved rails (12, 14) joined by longitudinal bearers (16). The bearers include spaced bolt holes enabling a length adjustment. The curved rails run in a roller arrangement (50) consisting of an open channel containing flanged rollers. The two rails have the same radius whose centre point (100) lies below the vehicle centre of gravity. The rails carry a circular fitting plate (18) provided with a number of elongated slots (22). The slots receive the vehicle wheel hub fixing stud bolts.
