OEM Replacement Gas Spring - Branick TC400 Tire Cart (01-0203 Assembly)

When your Branick TC400 tire cart loses its auto-closing grip, the Branick 01-0203 gas spring assembly restores factory performance in 15-30 minutes. This 6×15 OEM gas spring delivers 80 lb force through a 3.15-inch stroke, automatically clamping tire stacks when you release the foot pedal. Professional tire shops, dealerships, and fleet maintenance facilities use this black nitride-coated assembly to maintain hands-free operation across passenger and light truck tires up to 400 lbs.

Manufactured to exact OEM specifications with M6-1.00 threaded end fittings, this direct drop-in replacement requires only basic hand tools and no hydraulic modifications. Backed by Branick Industries' 100+ years of tire equipment engineering, the corrosion-resistant steel construction handles tire shop environments with exposure to lubricants, oils, and temperature fluctuations.

Key Features and Benefits

Factory-Exact TC400 Engineering - The 3.15-inch stroke length and 9.6-inch extended length match TC400 arm geometry, delivering consistent auto-closing force across the cart's 20-37 inch adjustable cradle range. M6-1.00 threaded end fittings install directly without adapters or modifications.
Corrosion-Resistant Construction - Black nitride rod coating and steel tube construction maintain performance in tire shop environments with exposure to moisture, tire lubricants, and oils. Designed for professional facilities performing 20-50+ tire changes daily.
Hands-Free Operation - The 80 lb force rating automatically grips tire stacks when the foot pedal releases, keeping both hands free for tire positioning. Eliminates manual clamp tightening and prevents arm collapse from worn springs.

Applications

  • Direct replacement for worn gas springs in Branick TC400 tire carts.
  • Automotive service centers and tire retail facilities handling passenger car and light truck tires.
  • Fleet maintenance operations requiring reliable hands-free clamping equipment.
  • High-volume shops performing 20-50+ tire changes daily with tires up to 35 inches diameter.
