Abstract

The invention relates to a straightening apparatus for a vehicle, including a frame ( 1 ), a lifting device ( 2 ) fastened to the frame, a straightening table ( 3 ) which is fastened to the lifting device and which has, on its sides, platforms ( 5 a 1, 5 a 2, 6, 8 a 1, 8 a 2, 5, 8 ) onto which the vehicle may be moved for the straightening work, and anchor beams ( 4 a 1, 4 a 2, 4 a 3, 4 a 4; 4 ) and fasteners ( 12 a 1, 12 a 2, 13 a 1, 13 a 2; 11, 12, 13 ) fastened to the anchor beams for fastening the vehicle to the straightening table for the straightening work, the anchor beams ( 4 a 1, 4 a 2, 4 a 3, 4 a 4; 4 ) being fixedly fastened to the gaps between the platforms ( 5 a 1, 5 a 2, 8 a 1, 8 a 2, 5, 6, 8 ) on the sides of the straightening table ( 3 ). The inventive straightening apparatus for a vehicle includes support devices ( 10 a 1, 10 a 2, 10 ) which are settable at vehicle wheels that are between the beams ( 9 a 1, 9 a 2 ja 9 a 3, 9 a 4 ) at the front pan of the straightening table, below them, when the straightening table is lifted to the working height and arranged to support the wheels as the straightening table and vehicle are lowered.
