March 18, 2014
Car-O-Liner has expanded its equipment offering included in the 2015 F-150 Collision Repair Program.
Car-O-Liner®, a leading global provider of collision repair equipment to the automotive aftermarket, has expanded their equipment offering included in the 2015 F-150 Collision Repair Program. To complement the already-approved production-grade CMI3000II MIG/MAG Pulse Welder, two additional welders have been added to the collision repair program. The Car-O-Liner AUTOMIG 273i Pulse Boost MIG Welder is ideal for entry-level welding requirements and includes a 4-wheel wire feed system that uses a single torch and synergic pre-set welding programs. The AUTOMIG 273i Pulse Duo Boost MIG Welder also precisely feeds soft wires like aluminum, but includes two torches making it an efficient tool when there is a need for easy switch-over between welding and brazing operations. Altogether, these three welders present a full line of welding equipment options to provide technicians with the right welder for the most productive repairs – the complete welding solution. Also added to the collision repair program are frame alignment solutions including Car-O-Liner’s powerful truck clamping system and EVO universal anchoring system that eliminates the need for specialized adapters and tools in favor of universal, approved technology. Car-O-Liner’s Truck Clamping securely mounts every compact truck, pickup, van and sport utility vehicle to provide the versatility a busy shop requires. The Car-O-Liner EVO Extension Package complements the universal EVO1 and EVO2 holding system with components to meet the fixturing requirements of full-frame vehicles. This package includes bolts and bushings specific to Ford F-150 repairs as well as two strong, double-sided tool storage carts to securely store your equipment. To complete our total equipment solutions offered through the program, Car-O-Liner’s mobile Aluminum Workstation contains tools and equipment to repair aluminum damage. The repair station includes an aluminum spotter along with an array of tools for aluminum dent pulling. The unique advantage of the Car-O-Liner Aluminum Workstation comes from the design of the equipment included. The dent pulling bars are constructed of lightweight carbon fiber, making them lighter and 3 times stronger than steel.

These exclusive tools offer the advantage of ease of use without compromising the strength of the tool. With a work area and heavy-duty shelving, the cart provides the dedicated tool storage necessary to reduce the possibility of cross-contamination with steel particles and is portable to conveniently move wherever you need it in the shop.

“The addition of this equipment to Ford Motor Company’s 2015 F-150 Collision Repair Program will greatly enhance the technician’s potential to have the exact tools they need for high quality, quick and accurate repairs. With this expanded product offering, Car-O-Liner is excited to provide the total repair solution, giving technicians the right equipment to complete each repair order efficiently”, said Peter Richardson, Key Accounts Manager for Car-O-Liner Company.

As an approved equipment supplier to the Ford Rotunda program for multiple years, Car-O-Liner’s breadth of products provides technicians with tools for safe and efficient repairs - a complete solution to improve efficiencies and productivity.
