Professional Tire Spreader - Branick Manual Tire Spreader (Model 5045)

Engineered for Low-Profile and Wide-Base Tire Service

The Branick 5045 manual tire spreader delivers professional tire inspection and repair capability for passenger car and light truck tires up to 40 inches in diameter. Built in Fargo, North Dakota since 1923, this hand-operated spreader combines patented zinc-plated roller technology with gas-spring assist and RMA-compliant 200 foot-candle work lighting. Designed for challenging low-profile and wide-base tire designs with cross-sections up to 13 inches, the 5045 replaces the discontinued 5040 model.

All-steel construction weighing approximately 80 pounds provides professional durability in high-volume service environments, while the compact 22" × 15" footprint minimizes shop floor space. Manual operation eliminates compressed air requirements, reducing costs and enabling mobile tire repair operations.

Key Features and Benefits

US Patented Zinc-Plated Roller Technology - Protected by US Patent No. 4,511,124, integrated zinc-plated rollers enable smooth 360° tire rotation while spread, eliminating manual wrestling of heavy tires. Zinc plating resists corrosion and reduces friction for precise positioning in low-profile tires.

RMA-Compliant 200 Foot-Candle Work Lighting - Industrial work light on flexible arm meets Rubber Manufacturers Association minimum 200 foot-candle requirement for proper tire repairs. Flexible positioning directs light exactly where needed, maintaining liability coverage and repair warranty validity.

Gas-Spring Controlled Tension Release - Cushioning gas springs provide controlled tension release preventing sudden snap-back when spreading tough sidewalls. Protects tire integrity while reducing operator injury risk during repeated operations throughout the service day.

Manual Operation Independence - Operates manually with zero compressed air requirement, eliminating compressor costs and maintenance. Enables mobile tire repair operations while providing tactile feedback for delicate work with modern tire construction.

Applications

Interior tire casing inspection for punctures and sidewall damage.
Professional tire repair preparation and patching operations.
Low-profile performance tire service (13-20 inch bead diameter).
Wide-base tire configurations up to 40 inches diameter.
