New Auto Body Frame Machine Rolled Out: Signature Hybrid Combines Features Most Wanted by Auto Body Shops



New Signature Hybrid frame machine, auto body shop equipment


Detroit Lakes, MN (PRWEB) April 15, 2008

CJJ, Inc. has announced its latest innovation in auto body repair equipment — the Signature Hybrid frame machine. The automotive frame straightener takes its inspiration from previous designs, combining the most desirable features in a machine with versatility and pulling power.

CJJ, Inc. based the Hybrid on two of the company’s current frame machines: the Signature 5-tower rack and the American Freedom 3-tower rack.

Company spokesman Darren Bremseth explains the design goals and how the Signature Hybrid frame rack fulfills them, “With our Signature frame straightener, two of the five towers have to be lowered down so vehicles can drive on and off the rack. That means those two towers are limited to lighter pulls, they can’t work as hard as the three larger pivoting towers.

“The American Freedom frame rack has three movable towers that glide around the outside rim of the rack bed to wherever they are needed. This configuration is extremely handy for the technician but it can limit the width of vehicles that can be repaired,” continues Bremseth. “With the Signature Hybrid, we’ve combined the best features of both models in a frame machine that has incredible pulling power, great versatility and easy accessibility for auto body technicians.”

The new Signature Hybrid has three pivoting pulling towers at one end and two movable towers that ride on a track around the outer edge of the bed. The pivoting towers provide strength, stability and repair width, while the movable towers deliver 360 degree access for pulling.

Bremseth predicts the Hybrid frame rack will be popular with auto body shops because it offers so many advantages:

10-ton hydraulics in all 5 towers provide the needed pulling power.
Movable towers make tower group pulls possible, no dead zones.
V-rollers allow smooth, repositioning of towers along the track.
Easy tie-down system secures track towers for pulling.
Removable cross members allow access to front and rear of vehicle.
Rack bed-located no-drip hydraulic quick connections.
Ability to group towers at drive-on end.
Two-year limited warranty.
All CJJ, Inc. frame machines are made in the USA.

Hybridcars.com Gives Home to Hybrid Car Revolution – Online Tools Help Consumers Navigate New Automotive Landscape

(PRWEB) January 20, 2005

Hybridcars.com, the leading independent source for information on hybrid cars, launched a new version of its website today. The site introduced a full set of online tools to help consumers learn about new hybrid car models, fuel efficiency, oil dependency, and alternative auto technologies. Sales of hybrid cars in the United States are predicted to reach at least 200,000 in 2005, more than doubling last year’s 88,000 sold.

The new site allows consumers to hear directly from hybrid drivers, auto industry analysts, and leaders in the movement toward more fuel-efficient vehicles. “Hybrids have been on the road for years, yet common myths about them persist. We’re trying to raise public awareness and dialogue to a new level” said Bradley Berman, Editor of Hybridcars.com.

The redesigned site will feature expanded content, expert blog columns, an environmental calculator, daily hybrid news tracking, a monthly email newsletter, surveys, eBooks, and discussion forums. “We are providing information about everything from car specs and hybrid car tax incentives to strategies for maximizing miles-per-gallon,” Berman added.

Hybridcars.com also tackles tough social issues, such as foreign oil dependency, terrorism, global warming, and the reluctance of American automakers to raise fuel efficiency standards. In his Hybridcars.com blog, “Hybrid Daze,” cultural observer David J. Miller explained why he bought his Ford Escape Hybrid, “I view each trip to the pump as a partial beheading for myself, my country and the Americans who make a career out of defending the United States.” Nearly two-thirds of the worldÂ’s known oil reserves are under just six Persian Gulf nations: Saudi Arabia, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Iran and Qatar. Other Hybridcars.com bloggers include economist Walter McManus, hybrid mechanic Craig Van Batenburg, technologist Kip Munro, Prius-driving Soccer Mom Maria McClean, and Aeman (Alternative Energy Man).

The siteÂ’s Gas Mileage Impact Calculator is an interactive tool that allows users to compare hybrid and conventional models in terms of annual gas consumption, fuel costs, and the emission of global warming gases and other pollutants. The difference in carbon dioxide emissions between a hybrid, such as the Toyota Prius, and a similar combustion engine model, such as the Toyota Camry, can be as much as 6,000 pounds. That is more than a 50% decrease in emissions. Moreover, the Prius provides over $ 500 annually in fuel savings. The Gas Mileage Impact Calculator was sponsored by

Honda. Data for the calculator was provided by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy.

“The release of the new site, including interactive tools, new layout and new contributors, is just the beginning. We are dedicated to providing accessible, original, accurate, and independent information to those interested in learning about the changes that hybrid automobiles herald. It’s not just about cars. The environment, the economy, and our national security hang in the balance,” noted Berman.
