The Next Wave In Low-Cost Lifts
Low Cost Doesn’t Have To Mean Low Expectations

More than 80% of the vehicles that roll through the average shop are "light hits" with little or no structural damage. Yet many of these vehicles end up on frame racks, needlessly tying up expensive equipment and wreaking havoc on cycle times.

Kahuna is the rugged, versatile and affordable drive-over lift that doubles as a compact pulling station for vehicles with light to medium collision damage. Kahuna can handle the majority of repairs on the majority of vehicles you work on, freeing up your frame machine for more profitable work.

With today’s complex vehicles and competitive environment, shops must maximize the productivity of every piece of equipment they own. Kahuna is one of Chief’s family of Design Based Repair™ systems that allows your techs to profitably perform a variety of OEM-recommended repairs.
