... people are viewing this right now
Large Wheel Tire Changer with Advanced Seating SystemDesign for Large Rim ApplicationsThe Atlas TC289 introduces a tilt-back mechanism specifically engineered for large wheel and tire applications common on light trucks, SUVs, and specialty vehicles. This design pivots the head backward to provide superior access and leverage for oversized rims, reducing operator strain and improving precision during tire mounting and demounting operations. The tilt-back feature accommodates wheels up to 28 inches with tire diameters reaching 45 inches, making it ideal for modern truck and SUV fleets.Capacity and Performance SpecificationsThe TC289 supports rim clamping from 12 to 28 inches external diameter, covering a wide range of light truck and SUV applications. The maximum tire diameter capability of approximately 45 inches handles large, aggressive tread patterns and reinforced tire constructions. The bead breaker system generates approximately 3000 pounds of force, providing additional breaking power for tougher tire-to-rim bonds common in larger tire formats. The integrated bead blaster system facilitates rapid and safe bead seating across all tire types handled by this equipment.Versatile Power Options and Advanced FeaturesFlexible Electrical SupplyThe TC289 offers dual voltage capability with both 110V and 220V operation, providing flexibility for facilities with varying electrical infrastructure. This dual-voltage design allows shops to integrate the TC289 into existing power systems or take advantage of higher voltage for improved performance in high-volume environments. The compressed air requirement of 8-10 bar remains consistent across both voltage settings, simplifying pneumatic system integration.Assist Arm Compatibility and InstallationThe TC289 is designed with assist arm compatibility, allowing optional installation of external arm equipment to further reduce operator fatigue on large tire applications. This modular approach enables shops to upgrade capability as their service mix evolves. Weighing approximately 750 pounds, the TC289 ships fully assembled and requires professional installation for optimal floor mounting, electrical connection, and pneumatic integration. The robust construction and powerful bead breaker make this equipment suitable for high-volume, full-service tire operations.
