Trac Tower 550 with X-Plate – The Mobile Pulling Tower for Fast, Flexible Dent Repair

The Wielander & Schill Trac Tower 550 is a portable pulling tower designed for bodyshop professionals who need quick, controlled pulls without a fixed bench setup. It anchors firmly to any workshop floor using a pneumatic vacuum base plate, so there is no need for floor bolts or permanent fixings.

As a result, you can position the tower exactly where you need it and start pulling within minutes. Furthermore, at just 22 kg, it is light enough for one person to move between vehicles with ease.

How Does the Vacuum Base Work?

The X-Plate base uses compressed air at 6 bar to create a powerful vacuum seal against the workshop floor. In addition, a soft foam rubber seal ensures the plate grips securely even on surfaces with small bumps or imperfections. Consequently, the tower stays firmly anchored during pulling operations without any risk of movement.

Adjustable Height for Every Application

The Trac Tower 550 offers 15 height positions up to a maximum of 1.65 metres. Therefore, it handles both high-level pulls on roof pillars, A-posts, and B-posts as well as low-level pulls on door sills and lower panels. This versatility means you only need one tower to cover a wide range of repair scenarios.

Precise, Controlled Pulling Force

Pulling force is applied through a belt-driven manual ratchet hoist. This gives the technician precise control over the pull, allowing gradual adjustments rather than sudden force. As a result, you can achieve accurate panel alignment while minimising the risk of over-pulling or secondary damage.

When Should You Use the Trac Tower 550?

This tower is ideal for workshops that need a flexible pulling solution without the cost or footprint of a full straightening bench. For example, it works well for:

  • Pulling dents from roof pillars, A-posts, and B-posts
  • Straightening door sills and lower body panels
  • Quick structural pulls where a full bench setup is not required
  • Mobile or multi-bay workshops where equipment needs to move between vehicles

However, for heavy structural chassis repairs requiring higher pulling forces, consider a dedicated straightening bench system instead.
