BRANICK 900-102 EF Air Powered Full Circle Truck Tire Spreader
Branick 900-102 EF - Air Powered Full Circle Tire Spreader with 360-Degree Rotation
The Branick 900-102 EF delivers professional tire service capabilities in a floor-standing, air-powered design. Featuring 47.75" working height with full 360-degree rotation, this heavy-duty spreader handles 12"-28" bead diameters across passenger through OTR applications. Built with all-steel construction in Fargo, ND for maximum durability and stability.
Key Features & Benefits
Complete 360-Degree Access System
The full-circle rotation capability provides 360-degree tire access without requiring tire repositioning or technician movement around the spreader. This pneumatically-driven rotation system operates smoothly through the complete range, maintaining consistent positioning control throughout the rotation cycle.
Traditional tire spreaders require multiple manual repositioning steps during inspection and repair operations. This system addresses the industry-wide challenge of incomplete tire access by eliminating blind spots and reducing the number of setup adjustments needed during service procedures.
This enables faster, more thorough tire inspections by providing complete access to all tire surfaces from a single working position. Technicians can perform buffing, patching, and inspection operations without interrupting their workflow to reposition equipment or tires.
Integrated Air-Lift to Working Height
The pneumatic lift system raises tires to an ergonomic 47.75" working height (121.3 cm) using compressed air operation with floor-mounted foot controls. This air-powered mechanism eliminates manual lifting and provides consistent, repeatable positioning for all tire sizes within the capacity range.
Manual tire lifting and awkward working positions cause technician fatigue and potential injury in high-volume tire service operations. The system addresses this challenge by bringing the work to a comfortable standing height, reducing physical strain during extended service sessions.
This improves technician productivity by eliminating the physical effort required for tire positioning and enables safer, more precise work execution. The hands-free foot control operation keeps both hands available for tire manipulation and tool operation.
Maximum Tire Range Versatility
The spreader accommodates 12"-28" bead diameters with 4"-11" cross sections, handling everything from passenger car tires through heavy commercial and OTR applications. The robust spread arm design maintains secure tire holding across this full range without requiring adapter changes or setup modifications.
Multiple tire spreaders are typically required to handle the range from passenger cars to commercial trucks and agricultural equipment. This versatility addresses the equipment proliferation challenge by consolidating multiple tire types into a single unit, reducing shop space requirements and equipment investment.
This enables shops to service diverse tire types with one spreader, reducing equipment costs and simplifying technician training. The wide capacity range supports passenger, truck, super-single, bus, and OTR tire service from a single platform.
Heavy-Duty American Manufacturing
Built with 976-pound all-steel construction and manufactured in Fargo, North Dakota, this spreader provides exceptional stability and durability. The heavy-duty frame design eliminates vibration and movement during operation, while the American manufacturing ensures parts availability and technical support.
Lightweight tire spreaders can shift or vibrate during heavy tire operations, compromising safety and work quality. The substantial construction addresses stability concerns while providing the foundation for reliable long-term operation in commercial tire service environments.
This ensures consistent performance under demanding commercial use while supporting American manufacturing jobs. The robust construction reduces maintenance requirements and extends equipment life in high-volume tire service operations.
