The Atlas TC229 rim clamp, swing arm tire changer is the perfect machine for homeowners, small commercial garages, and ATV/Motorcycle dealers looking for a professional grade tire changing solution without the professional grade price tag. Whether you're tired of paying someone else to mount and balance your tires or you're a small shop looking to bring tire service in-house, the Atlas TC229 delivers the capability and reliability to get the job done right.

The TC229 has the same clamping range and tire changing capabilities as the Atlas TC221 tire changer, but with one significant upgrade — the added built-in "Beadblaster" system. The "Beadblaster" system helps inflate stiff sidewall or other "hard to inflate" tires, solving one of the most frustrating challenges in tire service and saving valuable time on stubborn, hard-to-seat beads. This feature alone sets the TC229 apart from basic entry-level tire changers and makes it a smarter long-term investment for anyone who works with a variety of tire types.

Please note — if you plan on changing larger pickup truck tires (1 ton), large SUV tires, or agricultural tires either now or in the future, you may want to consider stepping up to the Atlas TC289 tire changer, which is purpose-built for those heavier duty applications.

One of the standout qualities of the Atlas wheel clamp tire changer lineup is the genuine care taken to protect your customers' wheels throughout the tire changing process. The Atlas TC229 is designed to change tires on both high-priced alloy wheels and steel wheels without damaging the rim or the tire — a critical feature for any shop or homeowner working with today's expensive custom and OEM alloy wheels. The powerful bead breaker located on the side of the machine is designed to break even the most stubborn and rusted beads without damage to the rim, giving operators the confidence to tackle neglected or heavily corroded wheels without fear of costly damage.

The turntable jaws — which can be covered with plastic covers for added rim protection — hold the rim securely without damaging the surface of the rim. These jaws can be moved to three different positions along the slide of the turntable to either increase or decrease the clamping range, allowing the TC229 to handle the widest variety of tire and wheel combinations. That adjustability makes the TC229 one of the most flexible and capable tire changers in its class, capable of handling everything from compact car wheels to larger light truck and SUV fitments.

If you're searching for an affordable rim clamp tire changer for a home garage, a reliable swing arm tire changer for a small commercial shop, or a capable ATV and motorcycle tire changing machine, the Atlas TC229 is a top contender that delivers real value at every turn. Please note that the Atlas TC229 requires some assembly after purchase.
