CHICAGOLAND HEAVY-DUTY STEEL STRAIGHTENING

Get it straight for safe­ty and savings

Bent, mis­aligned frames lead to increased tire wear, greater aero­dy­nam­ic drag, reduced sta­bil­i­ty and dimin­ished fuel econ­o­my. Our heavy-duty steel straight­en­ing ser­vice removes side-sway, twist, dia­monds, and sags on just about any size on-road or off-road equipment.

Cold straight­en­ing is the best

Our two ded­i­cat­ed straight­en­ing bays uti­lize supe­ri­or cold-straight­en­ing tech­nol­o­gy, which ensures pre­cise align­ment of frame rails with­out the use of heat. Par­tic­u­lar­ly with mod­ern high-strength steels, heat­ing steel ele­ments can sig­nif­i­cant­ly weak­en frame strength, and can lead to cat­a­stroph­ic fail­ure down the road.

A pro­pri­etary and pow­er­ful straight­en­ing system

Our straight­en­ing bays for trucks, trail­ers and heavy equip­ment use a pro­pri­etary sys­tem of 12-inch I‑beams, run­ning 60 feet in length and spe­cial­ly set into con­crete. A sophis­ti­cat­ed sys­tem of come-alongs, port-a-pow­ers and a 10-ton over­head crane are used in the straight­en­ing process. This sys­tem can put tremen­dous pres­sure on the floor with­out dan­ger of break­ing, allow­ing our tech­ni­cians to put exact­ly the right amount of pres­sure in exact­ly the right places.

The ben­e­fit: short­er set-up time and cost savings

Set-up time is typ­i­cal­ly the most cost­ly part of frame work. With our spe­cial­ly designed bay equip­ment, and our years of expe­ri­ence in steel straight­en­ing, we are able to min­i­mize our set-up and break­down times.
