Can’t we all just get along? A tale of two metals and aluminum repair…

The 2015 Ford F-150 is just the start in the rush to Aluminum use in vehicles, and being prepared for aluminum collision repair techniques is vital for the future success of collision shops.
Fortunately Wedge Clamp has always based its systems designs on aluminum for its high strength yet light weight – as examples using aircraft grade aluminum for its exclusive Pivot Measuring System, extruded 6061-T6 aluminum for its rails and aluminum alloys for its anchoring systems.
To help prevent cross contamination between steel and aluminum, Wedge Clamp anchoring clamps for aluminum are color coded grey – vs yellow for use on steel – and clearly marked for identification for aluminum use only.
Frame anchoring systems from Wedge Clamp provide the most space saving and cost effective solution for isolated aluminum work areas.
