Shell or chassis Dozer

I crunched a door on a transit like that too.

I missed an entire low brick wall on the passenger side once . . . deliberately parked alongside it so no-one could park next to me - came back, got in, turned hard right, set off . . . CRUNCH.

That needed an 'Ouch!' emoji!

I reversed my van into a massive concrete pillar holding up the stands at the old Wembley stadium, I had just walked past it, got in the van into reverse and BANG glass and swearing everywhere!
I blamed the groundworkers hitting it with a dumper

I have used a Tirfor attached to a steel column to do something similar. Fortunately the building is still standing

A dent repair man did my friend's sill like that with a stud welder and slide hammer, looked easy enough and the studs twisted off after pulling the dent out.

I have one of them, jetspot from memory, handy tool but a bit dated these days!

Years ago I walked out to the car park at work, to find a big roll on/off skip had been put right behind my car. I looked at the back of the car to see if they had marked it, but no.
Got into the car while colleague was speaking to me. Then reversed into the huge bright yellow skip. Broke the rear lamp and dented the tailgate and rear pillar.

Erm

I went to a factory in lincolnshire to strip a machine my company had bought in a Vivaro van.
I got up there really early as it had to be done before machine movers arrived. It was a bit rainy, cold and very dark winters morning. Pulled up at the office door, then was told to go around the side to the roller shutter. I reversed around the corner and BANG.
Id reversed into the dead centre front of an artic trailer! Reversing sensors were of course under fifth wheel and didnt see it in the mirrors!
Broke the lights and side plastics and dented doors….

We have had a few discussions regarding Dozers on the forum, indeed there is a thread here somewhere where I recounted my story of building one back in the day. Well yesterday I wend by a pals body shop as he has kindly offered me the use of some of his facilities. While we were talking, one of the guys there was busy tacking what appeared to be rings to a sill, I was intrigued. Still more when he slid a post on a base plate over and attached the air line. Suffice to say the following pictures show the tool in action:

This thing sticks to the floor like nothing I have seen, apparently they started to drag a three series BMW across the floor one time.

Then there was this little spot welder he was attaching the rings on with:

Sorry about the colour adjustment Anyhow, this thing has it's own "gun" which will attach all sorts of gizmo's one of which is a slide hammer God only knows what the kit costs.

I recently inherited similar along with the relevant guns and attachments after my dad passed away.
