Chisum Frame Racks & Benches — Built by the Inventor of the Modern Frame Machine — serving Charleston, Huntington, and all of West Virginia.
Collision repair shops in West Virginia trust Chisum frame machines from Lombard Equipment for the structural accuracy that OEM certifications require.
West Virginia's vehicle mix — heavy on pickups, SUVs, and commercial vehicles — demands frame machines and welding systems capable of handling the structural complexity of larger vehicles. OEM certification requirements are growing even in smaller markets as manufacturers expand their certified shop programs.
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.
