Professional Entry-Level Tire ChangerDesign and FunctionalityThe Atlas TC221 is a swing-arm design tire changer engineered for high-volume tire service facilities and independent shops handling passenger vehicles. The swing-arm mechanism provides intuitive operation with smooth, controlled positioning of the bead breaker and wheel clamp assembly. This design minimizes operator fatigue while delivering consistent, professional results across diverse tire and wheel combinations.Capacity and PerformanceWith a rim clamp range supporting 10-24 inches external and 12-24 inches internal diameters, the TC221 accommodates most passenger vehicle wheels. The maximum tire diameter capability of approximately 41 inches covers standard and low-profile configurations. The bead breaker generates approximately 2500 pounds of force, efficiently separating tire beads from wheel rims. The 1HP turntable motor ensures smooth rotation and positioning during the tire mounting and demounting process.Technical Specifications and RequirementsPower and Pneumatic SystemsThe TC221 operates on 110V single-phase 60Hz electrical power, standard in most North American facilities. Compressed air at 8-10 bar (110-145 PSI) drives the pneumatic components. This accessible power profile makes the TC221 an excellent choice for shops expanding their tire service capacity without substantial infrastructure modifications.Installation and OperationWeighing approximately 550 pounds, the TC221 ships as a fully-assembled unit requiring minimal setup. The equipment operates efficiently in standard shop environments with adequate floor space and proper ventilation. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper floor mounting, power connections, and air line integration for optimal performance and safety.
