KECO 175 mm LTT Beam with Centipedes | Lateral Tension Tool

Overview

The KECO 175 mm Lateral Tension Tool Beam (LTT Beam) is a patent-pending system designed to give professional Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) technicians precise control over metal movement during advanced glue pulling repairs. Its compact 175 mm beam makes it ideal for tight work areas, body lines, crowns, and other repairs where accurate lateral tension is essential.

Rather than applying direct pulling force to the dent, the LTT Beam uses controlled lateral tension to encourage natural metal movement, helping reduce panel stress and minimize the risk of over-pulling. The system includes a lightweight aluminum beam, stationary and drive legs, and four KECO Blue Centipede Tabs for quick setup and dependable performance.

Whether you're repairing hail damage, fine detail dents, or complex panel damage, the 175 mm LTT Beam delivers the precision and flexibility professional technicians need.

Compact Precision

The shorter 175 mm beam allows technicians to apply lateral tension in areas where larger systems may be difficult to position.

Benefits include:

• Excellent maneuverability
• Precise placement
• Ideal for confined repair areas
• Easy positioning around body lines
• Greater control during detailed repairs

Its compact size makes it especially useful when working around crowns, edges, and tight panel contours.

Advanced Lateral Tension

The LTT Beam applies controlled lateral force across the damaged panel to improve metal movement during repairs.

Benefits include:

• Improved metal flow
• Reduced panel stress
• Greater repair accuracy
• Helps prevent over-pulls
• More controlled dent reduction

This technique allows technicians to influence surrounding metal while maintaining excellent control throughout the repair.

Dual Leg System

The system includes both a stationary leg and a drive leg for creating stable lateral tension setups.

Features include:

• Secure anchoring
• Controlled pushing and pulling
• Stable positioning
• Quick attachment
• Smooth adjustments

Both legs attach directly to compatible KECO Centipede Tabs for fast, reliable setup.

Precision Tension Adjustment

KECO's integrated tension knob allows technicians to make smooth, precise adjustments throughout the repair.

Benefits include:

• Fine tension control
• Consistent adjustments
• Improved metal movement
• Hand or drill operation
• Faster setup and adjustments

The hex-compatible design allows technicians to use a drill when faster adjustments are needed.

Includes KECO Blue Centipede Tabs

The kit includes four KECO Blue Centipede Tabs designed specifically for lateral tension applications.

Included:

• (2) 50 mm x 54 mm Rigid Blue Centipede Tabs
• (2) 50 mm x 54 mm Contoured Blue Centipede Tabs with Lateral Pull Hole
