Chisum Frame Racks & Benches — Built by the Inventor of the Modern Frame Machine — serving Columbia, Charleston, and all of South Carolina.

Frame Machines in South Carolina

South Carolina auto body professionals rely on Chisum frame machines — backed by the inventor of the modern frame rack — for precise, repeatable structural repairs.

South Carolina's winters are mild compared to northern states, but the Upstate region — near the Blue Ridge escarpment — sees periodic ice events that generate structural collision damage requiring proper frame and welding equipment.

Lombard Equipment is proud to carry the Chisum line of frame machines — built by the inventor of the modern frame rack, Lavell Chisum. Chisum's original frame rack patent became the legendary Chief EZ Liner, one of the most-used frame systems in history. Today, the Chisum Workhorse, Bronco, and Bronco XL bring that same engineering legacy to the demands of modern collision repair — handling today's complex, high-strength vehicle structures with precision, speed, and reliability.
