VAS 843 007/5 C-Arm GC 140/240

VAS 843 007/5 C-Arm GC 140/240

The VAS 843 007/5 is the largest C-Arm in the VAS 843 007 Premium Booster riveting system. Its generous 140 × 240 mm work window gives you the reach needed for riveting operations on wide flanges, deep recesses, and hard-to-access structural panels on Volkswagen Group vehicles.

Key Features

• 140 × 240 mm work window – the largest arm in the VAS 843 007 range, providing maximum reach for structural riveting on sills, A-pillars, and inner panels.
• Safety latch – secures the arm to the short stroke cylinder, preventing accidental disconnection during high-force riveting operations.
• Burnished finish – hardened surface treatment resists workshop wear, corrosion, and impact damage.
• Multi-material construction – aluminium, steel, and plastic components balance strength with manageable weight (13.6 kg).
• Quick-change compatibility – swaps onto the VAS 843 007 Premium Booster in seconds alongside the other C-Arms in the system.
