Car maintenance is a very expensive business: you need to change consumables, to carry out maintenance, and there should be periodic repairs of various parts of the car. It is much more profitable to improve your car, change details and fix something on your own. Therefore, your garage should have the necessary equipment and tools. Among such devices an important place is occupied by a building berth for body repair. This device can be made yourself.
platform slipway
There are three types of stocks: frames, platform and floor. There are also different devices by type of movement: rolling and mobile.
Different types of stocks
Frame-type devices are a frame made of metal profile. The work is performed in a fairly simple sequence:
- clamping mechanisms, which fix the car;
- the chain is attached to the damaged place of the car, associated with power mechanisms;
- by means of a building site the site is extended and the initial form is given to it.
In order to safely immerse the car in the frame-type structure, a lifting device is required. The frame building berth allows to carry out various types of body repair, but for complex work it is an unreliable construction.
The platform building berth is operated for the most difficult body repair. The metal platform is equipped with a complex system of fasteners and clamps. It also has a scissor lift and towers, who carry out force manipulations. Such platform equipment is considered universal. It makes it possible to extract the damaged fragment wherever possible, to return to the correct shape. Because the device has a variety of mechanisms and various fasteners, you can carry out various types of car repairs. But the disadvantage of this design is the huge size of the device.

construction of a building site
Floor building is most often used in the professional field of car repair. Movement takes place on rails. Available:
- fastening system, clamps;
- metal racks;
- pneumatic rectifiers.
This type of device is suitable for repairing cars and trucks. In addition, cars of any level of damage can be repaired on such a device. This equipment is very strong and reliable, because it has a large number of components.
What you need to create a building site in your garage
To equip in the garage building berths for body repair, you should spend a lot of time. Requires a wide range of tools and metal rectangular profiles, dimensions of section 50x50 or 70x40 centimeters. You can find instructions and drawings on the Internet, on which to make a building berth floor or frame.
The type and dimensions of the design are selected according to the make and model of your car. Because there must be work with metal, then a welding machine is required, to make seams. For various operations it is necessary to choose the optimal mode of operation of the device. That the strength of the structure was the highest, you need to rationally combine the transverse and longitudinal elements of the frame. Details should be welded in the corners of the structure, the sizes of which on 25 centimeters high - metal racks.
At the next stage of work auxiliary mechanisms are made. A fastening system is being developed to fix the car on the equipment. The most important thing is to make fasteners, in which the height changes. The design of these mechanisms is selected for specific working conditions and your car:
- moving the car on the frame and fixing the car at different points;
- fastening, which exerts a deforming force;
- system of the strongest fixing of a car on the device.

Another important mechanism of the equipment is the power rack. It must move and work at different points in the building site. Such a device applies the main force to the deformed parts of the machine, and they are aligned. Such racks are firmly mounted to the base of the structure and must have a high level of strength. In place, where the part is welded, the element of an additional metal scarf amplifies.

In addition to these mechanisms, it is necessary to make some more persistent cores with strong fastening. They help when working with simple damage to the car body.

Finding a drawing, to make a building site with your own hands, you need to prepare tools:
- Metal profiles for the base of the structure;
- Longitudinal profiles for racks;
- Corners from metal;
- The device for welding;
- Nuts and bolts;
- Fastening;
- primer;
- Powder paint;
- Spray gun;
- Hydraulic device;
- Powerful chains;
- hooks;
- Drawing.
How to make a building site with your own hands
so, when everything is ready, it is necessary to start production of a building berth for body repair. All parts must be degreased in advance, cover with a primer, and then paint with powder paint using an airbrush. Then the metal corners must be welded to the profile, which will be the basis. Next, weld the longitudinal profile as a rack and fasten with bolts. Then power and retractable devices are mounted, chains and hooks. Once you have built the building site, it is necessary to test it and check the operation of each device.
The repair process is quite simple: extraction mechanisms are started, and the pressure of the power devices sets in motion the berths. So, you can repair damage of any level of complexity in your car.
