Celette Rhone Advanced Drive-On Bench with Scissor Lift
Looking for a versatile and reliable collision repair solution for your workshop? Discover the CELETTE Rhone, a cutting-edge drive-on bench with integrated scissor lift, ideal for handling a wide range of structural repairs for passenger cars, SUVs, and light commercial vehicles.
The Rhone’s car repair bench features an integrated scissor lift design, eliminating the need for separate lifting equipment and consolidating structural repair capability into a single, space-efficient platform. This integration proves particularly valuable for facilities where floor space constraints limit the options for equipment. Rather than dedicating separate areas to lifting and framework, the Rhone combines both functions while maintaining the dimensional accuracy that quality collision repair requires.
The Rhone compact auto body repair bench with a drive-on design eliminates the complex vehicle loading procedures associated with larger benches. Technicians simply drive or roll vehicles onto the platform, secure the anchoring points, and begin work. This streamlined approach suits body shops that cannot dedicate entire bays to structural repair equipment but still require professional-grade straightening capability.
Outstanding Features of Celette Rhone
High Lifting Capacity
The Rhone drive-on bench with scissor lift has a powerful 4,200 kg / 5,500 kg / 7,000 kg lifting capacity and a maximum lift height of 1.32 m, ensuring easy access and ergonomic working positions for technicians. This specification accommodates the weight range of passenger vehicles, SUVs, and light commercial vans while providing sufficient elevation for comfortable under-body access and structural repair work. Technicians benefit from adjustable working heights that reduce physical strain during extended repair operations. The ability to position vehicles at optimal heights for specific tasks, such as assessing damage, positioning jigs, or applying pulling forces, improves work quality and technician comfort.
Versatile Repair Solutions
The Rhone collision repair bench for workshops streamlines diagnosis and straightening processes. It’s compatible with the unique MZ/MZ+ and Cameleon universal bracket sets, letting you work precisely across various makes and models. The Cameleon system's universal approach reduces the number of fixtures required to service diverse customer vehicles, while ensuring that each repair references accurate OEM dimensional specifications. New vehicle coverage is added as automakers release new models, keeping your equipment current with market requirements.
Accurate Reporting
Seamlessly generate pre- and post-repair reports using CELETTE’s advanced measuring systems, supporting quality assurance and insurance documentation. Dimensional verification also supports post-repair ADAS calibration by confirming structural points fall within required tolerances. The accuracy of the documented repair protects shops from liability claims related to post-repair structural performance.
Quick Loading
The CELETTE vehicle loading trolley simplifies loading even severely damaged or immobile vehicles. This capability proves essential for collision repair operations where damaged vehicles cannot be driven and must be moved mechanically. Efficient loading reduces the time investment required before productive repair work begins. For high-volume collision centers, these time savings accumulate across repairs, measurably improving daily throughput capacity.
360° Anchoring
The Rhone car repair bench with scissor lift offers flexible options for securing vehicles of all shapes and sizes, providing maximum versatility for repairs. This versatility ensures technicians can establish stable vehicle positioning regardless of the specific repair scenario. Comprehensive anchoring capability supports accurate straightening by preventing unwanted movement during pulling operations. Secure positioning also protects undamaged vehicle areas from secondary damage during the repair process.

The double scissor lift design of the pickup frame alignment bench distributes load support across the entire platform length, providing stable elevation for vehicles with uneven weight distribution, which is a common characteristic of pickup trucks where the bed weight differs significantly from the cab weight. This balanced lifting approach prevents the platform from tilting, which single-lift systems can experience with asymmetrically loaded vehicles.
