Collision Repair Equipment — Minnesota
Collision Repair Equipment for Minnesota Shops
Minnesota shops get hit from both sides of the calendar — brutal, salted winters that corrode structure, and violent summer storms that bury lots in hail dents. Handling both takes the right gear on hand year-round. Innovative Solutions CRTE, the U.S. official importer of GYS collision repair equipment, equips shops from the Twin Cities to Rochester and Duluth with induction heaters, dent-pulling, resistance spot welders, rivet guns, MIG welders, and ADAS calibration, backed by hands-on equipment support.
Featured equipment for Minnesota shops
Winter corrosion, summer hail
Salt corrodes structure and seizes fasteners all winter; then summer storms flood the lot with dents. Be ready for both: induction heating frees rusted bolts and lifts trim, dent-pulling and glue-pulling for PDR move hail volume, and welding to spec restores corroded structure.
OEM certification, power, and ADAS
Match an approved welder to your programs on the STRSW OEM chart; single-phase shops can add a phase converter for OEM welder power. Finish repairs with TEXA ADAS calibration.
