Dent Fix introduces Body Buggy Rack-Saver

Dent Fix Equipment has introduced the new Body Buggy DF-BB104, which the company says allows users to more easily move a disabled vehicle.

The Body Buggy comes in 4-ft. and 5-ft. models. According to the company, after a five-minute installation, the unit becomes “part of the vehicle,” negating the need to employ any lift points. The included spacer kit allows for the use of original fasteners.

When installed, the vehicle is rolled onto a frame rack, into a paint booth or to storage, out of the way of production. The device can be installed on the front or rear of most any vehicle using the cradle or sub-frame mounting points and hardware, the company says.

The kit includes: main beam (4- or 5-ft.), wheel assemblies, sliding lock collars, mounting brackets (two pairs of different heights), hitch pins and clips, fitment pin spacer, storage crate and 10-piece spacer kit.
