Chassis Re-alignment & Cab Jig Facilities
Our JOSAM System also includes chassis re-alignment and cab jig facilities. The chassis re-alignment
system is an invaluable piece of equipment which once again benefits from laser technology. This floor based
system operates using a series of press trolleys locked into a frame, which hold and apply pressure at specific points
in order to return the chassis to its pre-accident state.
The use of a specialist heat induction system allows us to provide localised heat to the chassis in order
to perform this operation with greater accuracy. This also eliminates the risk of melt spots associated with
conventional gas heating. The cab jig simplifies the repair process to the most severely damaged cabs, often enabling
us to repair cabs which otherwise would have to be replaced.
Here at David Philp Commercials we operate the pit version of JOSAM’s Frame Straightener. This facilitates better access
to vehicles, (in particular, coaches and buses) ensuring the very highest standard of repair.
