Collision repair equipment companies Chief and Celette are now working to jointly develop large vehicle dimensional specifications databases. The companies already offer specifications for thousands of global vehicles. Through this alliance — announced last week at the SEMA Show — they plan to leverage their data collection technology and share information so that both can expand their specification databases to provide maximum vehicle coverage to their customers.

Computerized measuring systems like Chief’s Meridian Live Mapping system and Celette’s Naja electronic measuring system use dimensional specifications to determine necessary repairs.
