Atlas:
Atlas has sold automotive wheel service equipment for over 40 years. The company has distributed and installed hundreds of wheel service machines manufactured by HUNTER®, CORGHI®, COATS®, CEMB®, HOFMANN®, AMMCO®, ACCU-TURN®, RANGER®, SNAP-ON® and BISHMAN®.

The Manufacturer believes that the wheel service products made by Coseng and Atlas are designed and manufactured to the same exacting standards as the “BIG NAME BRANDS”

The salesmen for the “BIG NAME BRANDS” try to intimidate many prospective wheel service equipment customers into believing that products from ASIA are inferior. Most of the “BIG BRAND NAMES” have the majority of their parts made in ASIA.

Get the facts about Coseng and Atlas wheel service products before you spend two to three times more than you need to on “BIG NAME BRANDS”!
Description:
The Atlas 229 wheel clamp tire changer is the perfect tire changer for the small automotive garage or ATV/MC dealer. The Atlas 229 has the same clamping and tire changing capabilities as the Atlas TC 221 wheel clamp tire changer, but has the added bead blaster system to help inflate stiff sidewall tires or other “hard to inflate” tires.  If you are going to be changing larger pickup truck (1 ton), large SUV wheels, or agricultural tires (either now or in the future), you may want to consider either the Atlas TC 589X or the Atlas 289 wheel clamp tire changer.

Bead Blaster:
The Atlas TC 229 wheel clamp tire changer has the bead blast inflation system that is not found on the Atlas TC221 wheel clamp tire changer. The revolutionary Bead Blaster design found on many of our Atlas tire changers provides an enormous amount of air pressure and volume (blasting air through the air holes positioned near the movable turntable jaws) to seat the beads on most stiff sidewall tires. This tremendous volume of air, directed to the inside cavity of the tire, forces both tire sidewalls to press solidly against the wheel so that the tire will “hold air”. Atlas wheel clamp tire changers offer this exclusive bead blast design on most of their tire changers. This innovative large volume Bead Blaster design allows the operator to seat the beads and easily inflate even the most stubborn of stiff sidewall tires.

The larger air tank reservoir holds more compressed air than most competitive tire changers. The tank is connected to a unique valve system which utilizes an oversized hose system to deliver a huge amount of air pressure and volume in a short amount of time.

This new Bead Blaster design allows a larger volume of air at a higher pressure to be forced into the tire cavity for a longer period of time. This increased pressure and volume of the Bead Blaster system separates the Atlas wheel clamp tire changers from their competition. One pedal allows the operator to seat the bead and inflate the tire to the factory recommend pressure in a short amount of time.

The use of Atlas Motorcycle/ATV Flip Adapters prevent the use of the air bead blast feature on this tire changer. The adapters are slid over the standard wheel clamp jaws on the tire changer table and will block the holes through which the bead blast shoots the jets of air. This means that you will not be able to use the Bead Blaster to help you reseat the bead of a tire when you are using either of these adapter sets.

If you need a bead blaster to help seat the beads on a stubborn sidewall tire (that is clamped to the turntable with the slide on adapters), then you may want to consider the Atlas HBBU, hand held bead blaster, as an optional piece of equipment for your Atlas 229 wheel clamp tire changer.

Clamping Range:
The Atlas TC 229 wheel clamp tire changer has adjustable turntable jaws that can be positioned to clamp from 10” to 24” in the external or internal locking configuration. Other slide-on adapters are available to either increase or decrease the jaw clamping range.

Quality:
The Atlas TC229 wheel clamp tire changer is manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified plant that produces tire changing and wheel balancing equipment for export to many countries. The Atlas name means high quality equipment and great prices. Greg Smith Equipment continues to offer the best products at the best prices.

When shopping for tire changers and wheel balancers; ask the competition to show you pictures and descriptions of what is “under the hood” of their machines. Tire Changers and wheel balancers may appear to be the same on the outside, but as in most instances: It’s what’s inside that counts!

The Manufacturer has sold over 5,000 Atlas tire changers in the past several years. The Atlas name has always been a trusted name in the automotive service Industry and you can depend on the Atlas brand for many years to come.

Optional Adapters:
The Atlas TC229 wheel clamp tire changer can be equipped with the Atlas Motorcycle/ATV Flip Adapters.

Shipping:
The Atlas TC229 is delivered by a commercial carrier. The customer is responsible for the unloading of the tire changer from the semi truck. Many times the semi truck can be equipped with a power tailgate (at no extra charge) to help lower the tire changer crate to the ground.

Parts:
There is some assembly required on the Atlas TC229 wheel clamp tire changer. The Manufacturer stocks a complete line of parts for all the Atlas wheel clamp tire changers.

Warranty:
The Manufacturer offers a one year limited warranty for the Atlas tire changers. We employ a full staff of Atlas technicians who can assist you (over the phone or in our warehouses) in repairing your Atlas equipment with genuine Atlas parts.
