Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0361410A2] The apparatus includes a car-supporting platform (14) fitted with a power-operated lift (60) for lifting the vehicle off the platform, so as to facilitate inserting clamps (72) to secure the vehicle body to the platform. One or more L-shaped pulling arms (6) are pivoted to the platform frame for swinging movement around the vehicle body, so as to enable pulling on the latter in any horizontal orientation. In a preferred embodiment, the platform is made of two pivotable sections which can be folded against each other, and the apparatus is provided with wheels (10, 12), so that the same, with the platform in folded position, can be wheeled about and stored in a minimum of space when not in use.
