KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:Extra capacity for tough jobs: The 10-ton hydraulic ram delivers substantial force, enabling you to effectively push, spread, and press even stubborn vehicle body panels and frame components, ensuring you have the power to complete demanding tasks accurately.Complete repair solution: This kit contains a full array of tools essential for various body and frame repair operations, eliminating the need to purchase individual components and providing a ready-to-use solution for multiple applications.Enhanced component life: The chrome-plated pump core and piston rod offer superior resistance to corrosion and wear, significantly extending the operational lifespan of the critical hydraulic components.Reliable hydraulic performance: A double-braided hydraulic hose ensures exceptional protection against abrasion and heavy wear, maintaining the integrity of the hydraulic system and providing consistent, safe performance under rigorous use.Effortless operation: The auto air bleed pump automatically releases trapped air, removing the requirement to manually bleed the system before each use and saving valuable time during repair processes.Versatile compatibility: Attachments within the kit are designed to be interchangeable with components from many other popular body and frame kits, offering flexibility and expanding the functionality of your existing tool collection.Convenient mobility: Housed in a heavy-duty blow-molded case with integrated wheels, the entire kit can be easily transported across the shop floor or to different locations, enhancing efficiency for both stationary and mobile repair professionals.SPECIFICATIONS:Capacity: 10 tonRam collapsed height (closed): 12.68 inchesIncludes:5’ hydraulic hose (Model: 58044)10 ton hydraulic ram (Model: 58101)10,000 PSI hydraulic hand pump (Model: 58102)1/2 ton spreader ram (Model: 58103)Heavy-duty blow mold case with wheelsVarious pushing, spreading, and pressing attachments (e.g., rubber head, flat base, serrated saddle, spoon, extension tubes)HOW TO USE:Safety first: Before beginning any work, ensure the vehicle is stable and properly secured. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and gloves.Select the right attachment: Identify the specific task (pushing, spreading, or pressing) and choose the appropriate ram and attachments from the kit.Assemble components: Connect the selected ram to the hydraulic hose, and then connect the hose to the 10,000 PSI hydraulic hand pump. Ensure all connections are secure.Position the ram: Place the ram and its chosen attachments between the parts of the vehicle you intend to move or spread. Ensure the ram is positioned squarely to avoid off-center loads.Operate the pump: Slowly operate the hydraulic hand pump by stroking the handle. Observe the movement of the vehicle components. Apply steady pressure until the desired position or shape is achieved.Release pressure: Once the task is complete, carefully open the release valve on the hydraulic pump to relieve the pressure. The ram will retract.Disassemble and store: Once pressure is fully released, disconnect the components and clean them. Return all parts to the heavy-duty wheeled case for organized storage.BENEFITS OF USING AMERICAN FORGE & FOUNDRY VIKING 10-TON BODY & FRAME REPAIR KIT (58100):Achieve precise and controlled movement of vehicle body panels.Reduce manual effort required for body and frame adjustments.Improve efficiency in collision repair processes.Perform a wide range of pushing, spreading, and pressing tasks with one kit.Ensure accurate alignment of structural and aesthetic vehicle components.Extend the lifespan of tools due to robust construction and material quality.Facilitate easy transportation and organization of equipment.Benefit from quick setup thanks to the auto air bleed pump.FEATURES:High-visibility green and black finish.Resistant to cracking and abrasion.Portable design for shop and mobile use.Eliminates manual system bleeding.Interchangeable attachment compatibility.Organized storage solution with integrated wheels.Constructed to meet industry safety standards.Corrosion-resistant pump and rod.
