and H. Tool Co. of Cleveland. Ohio, have recently been introduced to the British market by Anglo-American Marketing Associates. These are named Body-Mate and Cargo-Lok, the first being for use on body repair work, the second for use in van-type bodies in making part loads safer,
The Body-Mate is in effect a body jack with a fixed strut at one end of the body to which extension tubes can be fitted and an extending ram at the other which by means of a hand lever on the body cal] exert a pressure of 3,000.1k The tool can be used to push out a pressed-steel body and it can also be used for pullinc. work.
The Cargo-Lok operates on a similar principle to the BodyMate, but the fixed rod is about 5 ft. long and has at its end a rubber-covered pad. It is designed to clamp between the inner side faces of van bodies, the pressure being exerted in a similar fashion by operating the hand lever. The movable ram also carries a rubber-covered pad and when closed the unit measures 6 it. 8 in. overall; it can be opened out to fit any size body.
