Flange Spreader SWi5TE-S 8.7 Ton

The Flange Spreader SWi5TE-S is engineered to deliver efficient and reliable solutions for spreading flanged joints in industrial piping systems. Key features include an integrated wedge concept that ensures friction-free, smooth, parallel wedge movement, eliminating flange damage and spreading arm failure. The unique interlocking wedge design prevents first-step bending and reduces the risk of the tool slipping out of the joint. With a minimal access gap requirement of only 4 mm, this tool is perfect for tight spaces. The practical and portable design includes a moulded plastic handle for comfort and a revolving handle to aid horizontal or vertical spreading. Safety features such as no finger pinch-points, a safety lanyard, and forged key components ensure safe and reliable operation. The complete kit includes a hydraulic cylinder, safety block, lanyard, and carry case for convenient storage and transport.
