Atlas Equipment Platinum PTC500 Center Post Tire Changer w/ - Atlas Automotive

The Atlas Equipment Platinum PTC500 Center Post Tire Changer (model AP-PTC500-KIT) is engineered for professional automotive and industrial shops that regularly service premium, custom, and performance wheels. This robust Atlas Automotive tire machine utilizes a hub-centric clamping system, designed to secure wheels without contacting the outer rim surface, thereby protecting delicate finishes and ensuring precise handling of high-value assemblies.

Key Features

• Hub-Centric Clamping with Smart Lock: Employs a center post mounting system that secures wheels through the hub, preventing cosmetic damage to painted or polished rim surfaces. The "Smart Lock" system enables fast, secure wheel mounting and immediate locking with a single lever action, eliminating manual threading.
• Flexible Lever/No-Lever Operation: Offers technicians the versatility to operate with a standard tire lever or switch to a fully leverless mode, optimizing efficiency and safety for a wide range of tire types, including challenging run-flat and low-profile tires.
• Integrated Wheel Lift & Heavy-Duty Construction: A 900 lb. rigid frame and industrial-grade components ensure exceptional stability and longevity in a demanding shop environment. The integrated wheel lift reduces technician strain and minimizes the risk of damage when handling heavy wheel assemblies.
• Powerful Bead Breaking & Seating: Delivers 6,924 lbs. of controlled force for efficiently separating beads on stiff sidewall, low-profile, and run-flat tires. An external bead seating system further aids in quick and efficient tire inflation.
• Broad Wheel Compatibility: Designed to accommodate a wide spectrum of tire profiles and wheel sizes, including 12" to 30" rims, with a maximum tire diameter of 47" and wheel width up to 15". The included adapter kit expands its versatility for a wider range of tires.
