Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / Manual for layout of a car dealership/ bodywork shop
Spanish term or phrase: puesto de estiramiento
This may be from Argentina (unclear). This document briefly describes the various parts of a car dealership. The "Puesto de Estiramiento" is described as subject to the same dimensions as the "banco de enderezado" (straitening bench) and the accompanying photo is of banged up truck lifted on some type of platform. The same doc uses the word "re-estiramiento" in regards to airbags and seatbelts. I am sure that if I walked into a bodywork shop and showed them the pic, they would know what it is called, but I can't find anything anywhere on-line, so this may be a very localized term. Any help is appreciated.

I'm sorry that I have no more context.

Explanation:
I believe that this one is for stretching Unibody frame assemblies and the other for straightening regular frames.

Generaly, they referred to as racks, or lifts.
