Whether you're pulling complex structural damage or performing precision straightening work, the FR-77 delivers the power, flexibility, and quality your shop needs to complete repairs efficiently and accurately.
This heavy-duty frame straightener combines twin 10-ton pull towers with a 360-degree clear floor pulling system, giving technicians unrestricted access and pulling angles from any direction. The hydraulic tilt deck operation makes vehicle loading and positioning effortless, while the universal anchoring system with adjustable height pinch weld and clamp assemblies secures a wide range of vehicle types safely and securely. Built with durable, powder-coated heavy-duty construction, the FR-77-18 is designed to withstand the rigors of daily shop use while maintaining precision performance for years to come.
Professional Frame Straightening Power
At the heart of the FR-77-18 is a robust hydraulic system delivering 10-ton pull force per tower at 10,000 psi hydraulic pressure. This powerful pulling capability ensures you can handle even the most challenging frame and structural repairs with precision and control. The system includes (2) HQ Air/Hydraulic pumps with pressure gauges for reliable operation, and comes complete with (2) pull chains with hooks so you can start working immediately upon installation.
The twin 10-ton round pull towers feature telescoping tower heads and adjustable tower collars, providing exceptional flexibility for complex pulls at any height or angle. Combined with the 360-degree post working range, technicians can position towers and apply force from virtually any direction around the vehicle—critical for achieving precise alignment and structural correction on modern vehicle designs.
Tilt Deck Convenience & Clear Floor Design
Tilt Deck Operation: The hydraulic tilt deck feature makes vehicle loading and positioning fast and effortless. The deck tilts hydraulically for drive-on convenience using the included drive-on ramps, then levels for secure anchoring and pulling operations. Quick disconnect hydraulic fittings and hose connections make setup and maintenance simple, reducing downtime and keeping your workflow efficient.
Clear Floor, 360-Degree Pulling Capability: The clear floor design eliminates obstructions and gives technicians complete freedom of movement around the vehicle. With multiple precision-cut tie-down hole locations across the entire 18-foot deck, you can anchor chains, hooks, and accessories exactly where needed for optimal pulling geometry. The universal anchoring system adapts to a wide variety of vehicle types, making this frame rack as versatile as it is powerful.
Secure Vehicle Anchoring System
Clamp Assemblies: The adjustable height pinch weld/clamp assemblies provide rock-solid anchoring for both full-frame and uni-body vehicles. These universal clamps adjust to accommodate different vehicle heights and pinch weld locations, ensuring secure, safe anchoring during even the most aggressive pulling operations. The clamps work seamlessly with the deck's tie-down system to hold vehicles firmly in place while you work.
The rack's 82.6-inch deck width and 19.7-inch deck height are optimized for comfortable working conditions and compatibility with a wide range of vehicle sizes, from compact cars to full-size trucks. The steel platform construction with durable powder coat finish resists wear, corrosion, and shop chemicals, maintaining both performance and appearance through years of heavy use.
