The Inventor of the Modern Frame Rack — Now Building for Today's Shops — serving Wilmington, Dover, and all of Delaware.
From Wilmington to Dover, Delaware shops rely on Chisum frame machines from Lombard Equipment to deliver the structural accuracy that OEM certifications demand.
Delaware's status as a corporate incorporation hub brings a concentration of business vehicle fleets, executive vehicles, and premium imports requiring OEM-certified repair at every shop visit.
Chisum is the brand behind the most respected frame machine heritage in the collision repair industry. Inventor Lavell Chisum created the original modern frame rack, unveiled at the 1968 Los Angeles Automotive Equipment Show — a design so ahead of its time that the patent was sold to Chief Automotive and became the legendary EZ Liner, still used in shops worldwide. Now, Chisum is back with the Workhorse, Bronco, and Bronco XL — a new generation of bench and rack systems built to handle the complex structural demands of today's high-strength steel, aluminum, and mixed-material vehicles.

Common questions from Delaware shops about Chisum equipment.
Chisum was founded by Lavell Chisum, the inventor of the modern collision repair frame rack. His original design was patented and sold to Chief Automotive, becoming the EZ Liner — one of the most widely used frame machines in history. Today, Chisum has returned to manufacturing with the Bronco and Workhorse systems, bringing that legendary engineering heritage to modern collision repair demands.
Lombard Equipment carries the full Chisum line in Delaware, including the Bronco (rack-style), the Bronco XL (extended capacity), and the Workhorse Bench (premium bench-style system). Our team helps you select the right system based on your shop's volume, bay size, and vehicle mix.
Many OEM certification programs require shops to have approved structural repair equipment as part of their tooling requirements. Chisum frame machines are engineered to meet the structural accuracy that these programs demand. Our team can advise on specific certification equipment requirements for your target OEMs.
The Bronco is a rack-style system designed for efficient, high-volume structural pulls with quick setup. The Workhorse is a premium bench-style system optimized for precision structural work on complex, multi-panel repairs. The right choice depends on your shop's volume, the types of repairs you handle, and your technicians' workflow preferences.
