Introducing the Chisum Workhorse
Join the Chisum Family and Let Us Show You What Value Is!
Many bench rack style frame machines on the market today lack the changes to support today’s vehicles. The needs of the car frame rack have grown due to the change in size to the vehicles the frame racks are repairing for collision realignment. This launched Chisum’s decision to reinvent a bench style rack.
You will see a new product of exceptional quality—from the raw materials to the manufacturing to the service and support.
The Chisum Workhorse bench rack has been given a resurgence after 4 years in development. Manufacturing involves large-scale production from around the globe with efforts largely focusing on product strength, safety, and ability. The workhorse delivers versatility and dependability.
Development of the Workhorse was focused on improving a frame repair technician’s options of frame racks on the market. Chisum feels that the Workhorse 6, at nineteen feet, is the perfect size bench rack to handle any production vehicle on the road. It was also decided to make the removable ramp sections a total of 7’ 8” wide, without the need to make this upgrade optional. These improvements, only found on the Chisum Workhorse 6, are exactly what we aimed for upon inception of the project.
Value, with no lack of quality, is another factor that was important to Chisum USA when designing the bench rack. Along the journey of prototype, we have learned a great deal about quality in production of the Chisum Workhorse bench rack. Some of the items to take notice when comparing to other style bench racks on the market are the attention to detail on the milling surface. You can see the quality of the powder coating finish, and the bushings around the hydraulic lift lines running through the bench racks scissor lift. The enhanced materials include mounting arms, pull towers and ramps with a sleek finish upgrade and options for length. The workhorse combines quality and craftmanship.
A great deal of thoughtfulness has been involved in the production and is carried through to the exceptional service and communication; followed by the installation and hands-on training you will experience by the Chisum USA team.

Not All Bench Style Racks Are Created Equal

RAMPS
Chisum Workhorse removable ramps not only allow for great access to the vehicle -- they come standard wider than the competitors, at a width of 92”. A heavy-duty truck or SUV will fit on the Workhorse with ease.

MOUNTING ARMS
We designed the mounting arms wider, allowing the clamping of a wide uni body-constructed vehicle without the need of inverting the bench chassis clamps. The top of the arms, and the mounting service, are milled to tolerances that are measured in + or – 0.15 mm.

LENGTHS
The Workhorse comes in two sizes to choose from: 19 feet and 16.5 feet. Repairing any car, SUV or light truck is simple on the Workhorse 19-foot model.

GLOBAL CONSTRUCTION
The Chisum Workhorse has been in development for 4 years and is truly a global concept. Materials and assembly have covered nearly every continent of the world.

STRONGER LIFT CAPACITY
The Workhorse will lift an incredible 10,200 lbs., meeting the demand of many OEM requirements today. The entire lift is constructed with WL510 steel material. The lift arms are composed by two CNC pieces leading to virtually zero deviation. The lift is then heat treated to remove internal stresses and toughen the steel. This effort is done on every single Workhorse produced and is one of the reasons for the extortionary lifting capacity of the rack.

SMARTER & SAFER
An industry first in workplace safety, the Workhorse power unit will lift itself out of a locked position when pressing the down button on the pendant or on the power unit itself.

COMPATIBLE
The construction of the Workhorse allows it to be compatible with bench accessories from leading manufacturers like Snap-On, UnoLiner and Car-o-Liner.

MULTIPLE PULLING
Add as many pull towers as needed to get the job done. The Workhorse is designed to perform multiple pulls simultaneously and at 360-degrees around the bench. 10 Tons of pulling power on each pull tower, with a down pull attachment built directly into the pull tower, allow for better down pulling angles for the repair.

THE FINISH
The entire structure of the bench is factory shot-blasted, followed by a process of electrophoresis that helps with cleaning and degreasing and creates an etched rust-free surface that is ideal for the powder-coating process that follows.
