This robust unit is designed to efficiently seat stubborn tire beads on passenger cars, light trucks, and SUVs, delivering a controlled, high-volume blast of air precisely where needed. It streamlines tire mounting, repair, and replacement tasks, particularly for tires with stiff sidewalls or larger rim diameters.

Key Features

• High-Volume Air Delivery: Features a 13-gallon ASME-certified tank, providing substantial air volume to effectively seat challenging beads and ensure compliance with safety standards.
• Precision Airflow Control: A flexible, hose-mounted nozzle and trigger-style discharge valve allow technicians to direct airflow accurately at the rim-to-tire interface, promoting consistent bead seating with a solid, two-handed grip for optimal control.
• Enhanced Operator Safety: The unique discharge design is optimized to minimize air blowback and recoil, significantly improving operator control and safety during the bead seating process.

Applications

The OTC 5713 is an indispensable tool for rapidly seating tire beads on a wide range of vehicles, from standard passenger cars to light trucks and SUVs, where conventional inflation methods may prove insufficient. It is particularly effective for new or used tires where the bead does not fully contact the wheel, enabling proper inflation. This bead seater accelerates tire service by providing a quick and powerful solution for even the most difficult tire assemblies, enhancing shop productivity.
