During pulling operations in structural repair, anchoring primarily prevents what?

• A. Movement of the vehicle
• B. Loss of paint adhesion
• C. Battery drain during work
• D. Oil leakage from seals

Answer: (A)

Anchoring during pulling keeps the vehicle from moving while force is applied. It provides a solid, fixed point that the pulling equipment works against, so the frame can be guided back to its correct shape with control. If the car shifts during the pull, the intended correction path is lost, risking new distortions or additional damage. The other concerns—paint adhesion, battery drain, and oil leaks—aren’t addressed by anchoring and aren’t related to maintaining position during the pulling operation.
