BRANICK Tire Spreader, 5130, For Car/LT, Efficient Tire Service
BRANICK 5130 - Professional Air-Powered Tire Spreader for Car & Light Truck Service
The BRANICK Model 5130 delivers pneumatic hands-free tire spreading for passenger car and light truck tires up to 14-inch cross-section and 22.5-inch bead diameter. Manufactured in Fargo, North Dakota, this professional-grade unit features RMA-compliant LED inspection lighting with 200 foot-candles minimum output and compact 18" x 25" footprint for maximum shop efficiency.
Key Features & Benefits
RMA-Compliant Professional Lighting System
The integrated flexible-arm LED inspection light delivers 200 foot-candles minimum output, meeting Rubber Manufacturers Association standards for tire repair illumination. This certified LED system provides consistent, measurable light output across the tire interior surface for thorough inspection work.
Traditional fluorescent or non-certified LED alternatives fail to provide adequate illumination for detailed tire inspection, often creating shadows or uneven lighting that can obscure critical damage. This RMA-compliant system addresses industry-wide lighting deficiencies with professional-grade illumination standards.
This enables thorough tire inspection by eliminating dark spots and providing uniform interior lighting. Technicians can identify sidewall damage, tread separation, or embedded debris with confidence during repair procedures.
Compact Footprint with Full Capacity Range
The 5130 delivers 22.5-inch bead diameter capability within a compact 18" x 25" base footprint, maximizing shop floor efficiency without sacrificing tire compatibility. The 40-inch overall height and stable base design provide full passenger and light truck tire handling in minimal floor space.
Larger commercial tire spreaders often require significant floor space that many automotive shops can't accommodate, forcing technicians to use manual spreading methods or inadequate equipment. This compact design addresses space constraints while maintaining professional capacity standards.
This improves shop productivity by enabling professional tire spreading capabilities in tight service bay configurations. The space-efficient design allows installation in areas where larger equipment wouldn't fit.
Pneumatic Hands-Free Operation
The foot-controlled air-powered spreading mechanism eliminates manual effort and keeps both hands available for tire inspection and repair work. Operating on 100-150 PSI compressed air through a 1/4 NPT connection, the pneumatic system provides consistent spreading force without technician fatigue.
Manual tire spreading requires continuous physical effort and often results in inconsistent bead separation, limiting the technician's ability to perform detailed interior work. Traditional manual spreaders can cause technician fatigue during extended repair sessions and don't provide the consistent spreading force needed for thorough inspection.
This enables efficient tire service by allowing technicians to focus on inspection and repair work rather than maintaining bead separation. The hands-free operation reduces fatigue and improves work quality during extended tire service procedures.
American Manufacturing with Commercial Warranty
Manufactured in Fargo, North Dakota facility with one-year commercial warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The Made in USA construction provides domestic parts support and quality assurance backed by manufacturer repair or replacement determination.
Imported tire service equipment often lacks reliable parts availability and warranty support when repairs are needed, leading to extended downtime and higher long-term costs. This domestic manufacturing approach addresses service and support concerns common with overseas alternatives.
This ensures reliable operation with accessible parts and warranty support when service is required. The commercial warranty provides protection for business equipment investments with manufacturer-backed coverage terms.
Integrated Workflow Enhancement Features
The unit combines zinc-plated rotation rollers for corrosion resistance, reversible tool tray positioning for left or right side mounting, and spring-loaded height adjustment system. The debris-blocking cylinder guard protects operators while maintaining equipment performance.
Standard tire spreaders often require separate accessory purchases and don't include workflow enhancements that improve technician efficiency. Many units lack proper tool storage or height adjustment features that streamline tire service operations in professional environments.
This eliminates the need for separate accessory purchases while providing complete tire service functionality in a single unit. The integrated features reduce setup time and improve workspace organization during tire repair procedures.
