Spanesi Straightening Bench SERIES 106
The Spanesi work bench is at the forefront of today’s repair equipment, producing the most innovative body shop equipment. With highly performing and customisable products, this allows our technicians to straighten, measure and align heavily damaged vehicles back to their original specifications.
The vehicle is positioned with a clamp and jig setup. It is the only one in the world that allows upward thrusts and the crossbars moving of the jig itself, thanks to the pinion system. Designated points under and around the vehicle are repaired to exact manufacturer’s specifications.

Spanesi Electronic Measuring System
Touch and universal electronic measuring system, allows to quickly carry out a diagnosis on damaged vehicles, to realise the certification of correct reparation and to measure all the mechanical parts.

Inverter Spot Welder
The high strength steels used in later model vehicles cannot be heated to high temperatures like normal steels as they tend to crack and tear. In our workshop we use an inverter spot welder that welds at cooler temperatures. This is the only recognised method of reproducing structurally sound spot welds that meet manufacturers’ specifications.

Monarch Spray Booth and Bake Ovens
To achieve a perfect, faultless finish we have two Monarch spray booths and bake ovens that employ down draft technology. These booths are specifically designed to enhance the spraying characteristics of the environmentally friendly, water-based Glasurit paints we use and to ensure that the paintwork is free from any contaminants. Vehicles are sprayed at a controlled temperature to allow the correct flow and curing of the paint. They are then baked at the optimum temperature that results in the paint achieving maximum durability and the high gloss finish seen in today’s modern vehicles.Our Monarch spray booths and bake ovens comply with the highest quality and environmental standards. The down draft technology means faster more efficient drying while the filtration system creates a safer workplace for our technicians and ensures no harmful material is deposited into the environment.
