Katool KT-SB288 Truck Auto Body Puller Frame Straightener – Adjustable and Heavy Duty

Katool KT-SB288 Truck Frame Straightener and Body Puller

A bent step, a pushed-in cab corner, a rail that sits half an inch off. On a truck, none of that comes out with a slide hammer and a prayer.

The Katool KT-SB288 is a portable hydraulic body puller that puts 50 kN — about 5 tons — on the damage through a 3.5 m chain, driven by a hand pump. No power drop, no air line, and at 143 lbs one tech can walk it to the truck instead of the other way around.

Why Choose the KT-SB288

It brings real pulling force to the vehicle, on a footprint you can wheel into a bay corner.

• 50 kN (5 tons) of hydraulic pushing force — enough to move truck sheet metal and light structure that hand tools cannot touch.
• Hand-pump hydraulics, no power or air needed — works in a yard, a field bay, or a shop with no free outlet.
• 3.5 m chain with a six-claw hook — reach and attachment options for awkward pull points on a big body.
• 143 lbs and 39.6 in long — one person sets it up and repositions it between pulls.

What’s Included

• Quick repair pulling tower — 1 set
• Hydraulic hand pump — 1 set
• 3.5 m chain with hook — 1 piece
• Six-claw pulling hook — 1 unit

Features

• 50 kN hydraulic pushing force — 5 tons on the pull point
• Manual hydraulic hand pump — force applied by feel, in controlled increments
• Quick repair pulling tower — the pull angle is set at the tower, not improvised
• 3.5 m chain with hook — long enough to anchor well clear of the damage
• Six-claw pulling hook — spreads load across a panel instead of concentrating it
• 39.6 x 25.6 x 35.4 in footprint — stores against a wall between jobs
• 143.3 lbs (65 kg) — portable enough to bring to the vehicle
• Q235 / Q245 steel construction — rated structural steel under load

Force Where a Slide Hammer Runs Out

Truck panels are thicker than car panels, and truck structure is heavier. A puller that handles a fender crease on a sedan simply stalls on a commercial body.

The KT-SB288 develops 50 kN through the hydraulic ram, and that force reaches the damage through a 3.5 m chain and a six-claw hook. Because the hook spreads the load across several points, the metal comes back as a section rather than tearing at one spot.

The hand pump matters here as much as the tonnage. Pumping by hand means the operator feels the metal move and can stop the instant it reaches shape, which is the difference between a correction and an overstretch.

Portable Because the Truck Usually Is Not

At 143.3 lbs and 39.6 x 25.6 x 35.4 in, this is equipment that moves to the job. A truck parked in a yard, a body sitting on a trailer, a unit too tall for the paint bay — the puller goes to all of them.

With no electrical or air requirement, there is nothing to plug in and nothing to drag a hose to. That also makes it practical for mobile repair work where shop infrastructure is whatever is in the van.

Between jobs it takes up less floor than a parts cart, which is why it suits shops that do commercial bodywork occasionally rather than every day.

The Right Frame Straightener for Your Shop

For truck body work without committing a bay to a frame rack, the KT-SB288 is the tool: 50 kN of hand-pumped hydraulic force, a 3.5 m chain, and a 143 lb package one tech can handle.
