car body press
If this is referring to the repair, then a dozer is part of a 'Karosserierichtbank', a straightening bench for car bodies. There are many different types of this as far as I know. A picture or drawing would help.
Another option is frame drawing press
Strangely enough I have not found the term 'dozer' used in an English context...

Dozer/Adjustable Pulling arm
Better: Adjustable Dozer Pulling Arm

At least one company considered this an acceptable translation.
The rest of the bilingual text seems pretty good, so maybe this is also correct.
Obviously, that hardly makes it a slam-dunk.
I could not find any other examples
