CELETTE Griffon Drive-On Bench With Dual-Lifting System

Celette Griffon Bench

Advanced Drive-On Frame Repair Solutions

Discover the Ultimate in Frame Alignment and Lifting Technology

Equip your collision repair facility with the CELETTE Griffon drive-on bench, featuring a dual lifting system. The industry’s reference for vehicle frame straightening and repair, its sophisticated drive-on design and advanced secondary lifting system offer versatility and efficiency for auto body professionals seeking premium results and seamless workflow.

The Griffon’s dual-lift architecture distinguishes it from conventional single-lift benches. By incorporating both primary platform elevation and a secondary inner lift system, the Griffon offers vehicle positioning flexibility that simplifies setup procedures and reduces the time investment required before productive repair work can begin.

How the Drive-On Bench with Dual Lifting System Works

This dual-lift architecture separates two distinct functions: the main lift brings the entire deck and vehicle to working height, while the inner lifts, operating like rolling jacks, raise the vehicle off the decking for suspension, wheel, and under-body work without removing anchoring clamps or cross-members.

Main Lifting System

The Griffon's main lifting system raises the complete bench platform, including the vehicle, anchoring fixtures, and runway decking. This primary elevation provides the foundational working height for collision repair operations, positioning the vehicle for damage assessment, anchoring setup, and structural pulling procedures. The main lift delivers approximately 2,800 kg in lifting capacity, with working heights ranging from 1.30 to 1.84 meters, depending on the configuration. This range accommodates various repair tasks, from standard structural work to operations requiring maximum under-body clearance.

Inner Lifting System

The inner/secondary/upper lifting units operate independently to lift from the main platform lift, providing localized vehicle elevation for specific repair requirements. Its role is to lift the vehicle body, enabling repositioning and placing on fixtures or anchoring clamps. Independent remote controllers enable technicians to adjust inner lift positions without leaving the work area, facilitating an efficient workflow during complex repairs.

Features of the CELETTE Griffon Double Scissor Frame Machine

Double Lifting Mechanism: The Griffon is equipped with two powerful lifting systems, utilizing a robust runway decking plate for variable lifting capacities and accommodating vehicles across the weight range body shops typically service. This double-scissor frame machine design ensures stable elevation, regardless of the vehicle’s weight distribution.
Time-Saving Design: Setup efficiency directly affects shop throughput. With the Griffon drive-on bench with dual lifting system, there’s no need to dismantle anchoring clamps or cross-members during vehicle positioning, streamlining your setup and reducing downtime between repairs.
Remote-Controlled Inner Lift : The secondary inner lifting system operates via a convenient remote control, allowing precise vehicle adjustments with minimal effort. Technicians make positioning changes from optimal vantage points using the remote, supporting an efficient workflow during complex repairs that require multiple height adjustments.
Comprehensive equipment : The Griffon requires no additional equipment to load the car onto the fixture or anchoring clamps. This reduces capital requirements for supplementary loading equipment while simplifying the vehicle handling process.

Multiple Versions to Suit Your Shop: Bench, VB, and XL Configurations

CELETTES offers the Griffon in multiple configurations, ensuring body shops can select the drive-on bench with dual lifting systems that best suit their vehicle mix, facility layout, and operational requirements.

Griffon

This standard drive-on bench configuration delivers the complete dual-lift system, main tilting lift plus inner lifting units, in a footprint optimized for passenger vehicle repairs. This drive-on bench with dual lifting systems provides the core Griffon advantages for collision centers handling typical passenger car and SUV volumes.

Griffon VB

This mobile drive-on bench features an inner lift system, adding mobility to the dual-lift design through an integrated inner lift system mounted on a mobile platform. This configuration allows repositioning within the shop as workflow requires, providing flexibility for facilities where dedicated structural repair bays are impractical.

Griffon XL

An extended version for larger vehicles, the Griffon XL is an extra-long double-scissor frame machine designed to handle extended SUVs, crew cab pickups, and light commercial vehicles while maintaining the dual-lift capability. The extended platform length ensures complete vehicle coverage for longer wheelbases.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does “drive-on bench with dual lifting systems” mean on the CELETTE Griffon?

On the Griffon drive-on bench, dual lifting systems refer to the combination of a main lift that raises the entire drive‑on bench to working height and inner lifting units that can independently raise the vehicle at specific points for anchoring, jig mounting, and measurements without using an additional vehicle loading equipment.

How is Griffon different from a traditional double scissor frame machine?

A traditional double scissor frame machine uses a single platform with two scissor mechanisms, while Griffon uses a drive‑on deck with a main lifting system plus inner lifts that act like integrated rolling jacks, giving similar flexibility without moving the vehicle between separate lifts.

What is the lifting capacity of the Griffon double scissor frame machine?

Griffon’s main lifting system typically offers a capacity of around 2,800 kg with a working height of roughly 1.30 m or more, depending on the configuration. Meanwhile, the inner lifts provide additional lifting capacity for vehicle body centering and mounting on fixture or anchoring clamps.

Can the dual lifting systems of the Griffon drive-on bench be controlled independently?

Yes, the inner lifting units are operated via independent remote controllers so technicians can raise the front and rear lifting points separately and fine-tune the vehicle level during repair and place a vehicle body precisely on fixtures or anchoring clamps.

What repair operations benefit most from a dual‑lift drive‑on bench?

Drive‑on benches with dual-lifting systems like Griffon are especially useful when performing structural pulls, suspension and wheel repairs, and under‑body work on the same setup, minimizing repositioning and improving throughput in busy collision centers.
