E-Z TRAM
20190241160 · 2019-08-08 ·

E-Z TRAM is a tool used in the collision repair business to help restore a vehicle's A, B, C and D Pillars back to its pre-accident condition. E-Z TRAM does this by making comparisons at any points from the undamaged side to the same points on the damaged side of vehicle, by using a special clamp and one non-stretch steel cable, that can be marked at multiple points with tape and a ink mark to check multiple points. Since one end of the cable is attached to the special E-Z TRAM clamp, there is no need for another technician to help hold that end. Also the clamp and cable can be left in place during live pulling until all points match up to the marks on the cable. E-Z TRAM can also be used in conjunction with a regular tape measure and a traditional auto body tram gauge by holding on end of each of these tools in position.
