Five-Bar Tire Inflation Cage T105 - Ken-Tool

The Ken-Tool Five-Bar Tire Inflation Cage T105 (Model 36005) provides essential safety for professional technicians and mechanics working with large commercial and industrial tire assemblies. Engineered with heavy-duty welded steel, this robust cage creates a critical safety barrier, helping to protect personnel during the high-pressure inflation of truck, bus, off-road, and multi-piece rims in demanding service environments.

Key Features

• Heavy-Duty Welded Steel Construction: Features a five-bar welded steel frame, utilizing A500 hot-rolled pickled & oil steel tubing designed to deform consistently and absorb impact in the event of tire or rim failure. This heavy-gauge construction is crucial for effectively containing debris and protecting against blown lock rings and rims when servicing multi-piece rims.
• OSHA Compliance & Certification: This inflation cage is designed to meet and exceed OSHA regulation 29-CFR Part 1910.177 for the secure inflation of multi-piece and high-pressure rims. All Ken-Tool cages are inspected and certified to contain 150% of the maximum tire specification pressure, ensuring compliance with federal safety laws for tire servicing operations.
• Efficient Open-Front Access: Its open-front design allows for straightforward roll-in/roll-out access, streamlining tire mounting and inflation processes in high-volume professional service bays.
• Spacious Working Area: With internal dimensions of 56.5" H x 42" W x 22" D, this cage accommodates a broad spectrum of tires, including Class 6–8 commercial truck, transit bus, vocational vehicle, off-the-road (OTR), agricultural, and super single tires.
• Built for Professional Durability: Constructed for continuous use in professional tire shops, fleet maintenance facilities, and industrial service departments handling high-pressure assemblies daily. A substantial 182 lb (82.5 kg) overall weight contributes to a stable base, ensuring the cage remains securely positioned throughout inflation operations.
