Tuxedo CR-3000 — Car Rotator, 3,000 lb Capacity
The Tuxedo CR-3000 is a freestanding car rotator that lets a technician rotate a vehicle body a full 360° and lock it at any angle — turning an otherwise awkward overhead or underside job into a comfortable, accessible one. Two 6,000 lb capacity jacks adjust the working height from 17-3/4 in to 45-1/4 in, and a three-piece telescoping center bar extends to fit vehicles up to 21 feet 6 inches long.
Four 16 in mounting arms attach to the vehicle body (via separately available mounting bracket accessories matched to body style), and six phenolic resin swivel casters let the whole rig roll into position before it's locked down for work. The heavy-duty balancing system and powder-coat finish are built for repeated use in a working body shop.
Who It's Built For
- ✅ Restoration and collision shops that need full 360° vehicle access for undercarriage, frame, or paint work
- ✅ Shops working on a range of vehicle lengths up to 21' 6" with the telescoping center bar
- ✅ Techs who want adjustable working height (17-3/4–45-1/4 in) instead of a fixed rotation height
What It's NOT Built For
- ❌ Vehicle bodies over 3,000 lb
- ❌ Shops that don't already have (or plan to add) the correct mounting bracket accessory for their vehicle's body style — brackets are sold separately

What Makes the CR-3000 Different
Full 360° Rotation, Locks at Any Angle
The rotator turns a full 360 degrees and securely locks at any position — not just fixed stops — giving techs the exact working angle they need.
Three-Piece Telescoping Center Bar
Extends to 21 feet 6 inches, accommodating a wide range of vehicle lengths on one rotator rather than requiring different-sized units for different body styles.
Two 6,000 lb Adjustable Jacks
Independent jacks adjust the working height from 17-3/4 in to 45-1/4 in, letting techs set the rotator to a comfortable height for the task at hand.
Six Phenolic Resin Swivel Casters
The whole rig rolls on six casters, making it easier to reposition a loaded rotator around the shop floor than a fixed-position stand.
✅ Best For
- ✅ Restoration/collision shops needing full-access rotation on a range of vehicle lengths
- ✅ Shops that want adjustable working height instead of a fixed rotation stand
❌ Not Ideal For
- ❌ Vehicle bodies over 3,000 lb
