Description
With Ford’s newest F-150 trucks featuring an aluminum body, bed and support, collision repair shops have not only had to learn how to repair aluminum vehicle parts but also had to establish safe, isolated environments for aluminum repairs.

The need for an isolated work area for aluminum repair is not a matter of preference, opinion or regulation, but a matter of science and safety. Aluminum and steel don’t mix, and if they do get together during the repair process, the results can be catastrophic.
To prevent contamination from compromising the repair and protect your employees, aluminum repair work must be performed in an isolated area with a dedicated set of tools. GFS’ aluminum repair stations are flexible, effective solutions for proper isolation of aluminum repair processes.
