A portable automotive vehicle radiator repair shop is mounted on an automotive vehicle. The vehicle is equipped with an immersion tank having an open top and a drain beneath and a power lift having a platform moveable to submerge and raise a radiator to be repaired which is positioned thereon. The vehicle has a water distribution system with a female garden hose coupling as a water inlet. The vehicle is also equipped with a pneumatic reservoir having a pneumatic inlet coupling adapted to receive an air hose of the type with which most service stations and garages are equipped. The vehicle is also equipped with a blowtorch, a propane tank and an oxygen tank. The propane and oxygen tanks are connected to the blowtorch. The propane and air supply from the pneumatic tank are connected to a drying torch and the water distribution system and pneumatic air supply are connected to a flushing nozzle. A paint reservoir and paint sprayer are also employed and the paint sprayer is connected to the pneumatic tank as well.
A mobile automotive vehicle radiator repair shop comprising a vehicle equipped with an immersion tank having an open top and a drain beneath, a water distribution system including a female garden hose coupling adapted for connection to a hose bib connected to a water distribution manifold with a spigot located above said immersion tank and connected to said water distribution manifold, a lift having a platform moveable between a lowered position submerged in said immersion tank and a raised position above said tank, a pneumatic reservoir having a quick disconnect pneumatic fitting thereto adapted to receive a service station air hose, a blowtorch fuel reservoir, an oxygen reservoir, a blowtorch means connected to said blowtorch fuel reservoir and to said oxygen reservoir, and a drying torch connected to said blowtorch fuel reservoir and to said pneumatic reservoir.
A self contained, mobile automotive vehicle radiator repair shop comprising an automotive vehicle equipped with blowtorch fuel reservoir means and oxygen reservoir means, a blowtorch connected to said blowtorch fuel reservoir means and to said oxygen reservoir means, an immersion tank open at the top and having a drain beneath with a releasable plug therein, an automated lift having a tray adapted to receive an automotive vehicle radiator to be repaired wherein said tray is operated by said lift to move between a lowered position submerged in said immersion tank and a raised position elevated above said immersion tank, a water distribution system including a water inlet having a female garden hose coupling adapted for connection to a hose bib, and a spigot for filling said immersion tank in communication with said water inlet, a pneumatic pressure tank having a pneumatic inlet coupling adapted for connection to a service station air hose, a flushing nozzle adapted for flushing radiators in communication with said water inlet and said pneumatic pressure tank, a drying torch connected to said pneumatic pressure tank and to said blowtorch fuel reservoir means, a paint reservoir, and a paint spray nozzle connected to said paint reservoir and to said pneumatic pressure tank.
