The Elite Truck Structural Standards

From the very first stage of estimate and triage, a repairer must be able to correctly identify whether a chassis is damaged, assess whether it is repairable, and determine the correct method of rectification. Structural damage to a commercial vehicle is not cosmetic — it directly affects safety, load integrity, vehicle longevity and operator liability.
The Elite Truck Structural Standard, developed by the Vehicle Builders and Repairers Association (VBRA), evidences the level of competency, equipment, process control and technical expertise required to carry out such repairs correctly.
This standard covers:
  • Accurate damage assessment and structural triage
  • Correct use of chassis alignment equipment
  • Manufacturer repair methodology compliance
  • Skilled, trained technicians with proven competence
  • Documented repair processes and quality control
  • Full photographic evidence and audit trail
Proven Restoration

From Severe Structural Damage to Elite Standard Results

The images shown within this section demonstrate the magnitude of structural damage that commercial vehicles can sustain — and the successful outcome achieved when repairs are completed by a competent, audited repairer operating to the Elite Truck Structural Standard.
