Atlas:
The manufacturer has sold automotive wheel service equipment for over 40 years. His 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 ®.

Atlas believes that the wheel service products made by 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 Atlas wheel service products before you spend two to three times more than you need to on "BIG NAME BRANDS"!

Description:
The Atlas TC 289 wheel clamp tire changer is the perfect wheel clamp tire changer for most general automotive service departments and medium sized tire stores. This tire changer is perfect for changing the tires on large SUV and one ton trucks. The Atlas TC289 can be fitted with either the LH assist arm or the Atlas DAA arm assembly

The Atlas wheel clamp tire changers are designed to change the tires on both high priced alloy wheels and steel wheels without damaging the rim or the tire. The powerful ADUSTABLE bead breaker located on the side of the tire changer is designed to break even the most stubborn and rusted beads without damage to the rim. The turntable jaws (which can be covered with the standard protective plastic inserts) hold the rim securely without damaging the surface of the rim. These jaws can be moved to three different positions along the slides of the turntable to either increase or decrease the clamping range of the Atlas TC289 wheel clamp tire changer.

The Atlas TC 289 wheel clamp tire changer comes standard with the powerful bead blast system and inflator hose adapter and pressure gauge.

Bead Blaster:
The Atlas TC 289 wheel clamp tire changer is equipped with the revolutionary Atlas bead blast inflation system. The Bead Blaster design found on most 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 large column air tank reservoir holds more compressed air than most competitive tire changers. The vertical column air 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.

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 prevents 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 289 wheel clamp tire changer.

Quality:
The Atlas TC 289 is manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified plant that produces tire changing equipment for export to many countries. The Atlas name means high quality and great 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 of the 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.

Clamping Range:
The Atlas TC 289 wheel clamp tire changer has adjustable turntable jaws that can be positioned to clamp from 10” to 26” in the external or internal locking configuration. Other slide-on adapters are available to either increase or decrease the jaw clamping range.

Shipping:
The Atlas TC 289 tire changer 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 TC 289 wheel clamp tire changer. The manufacturer stocks a complete line of parts for all the Atlas wheel clamp tire changers.


Warranty:
One year limited warranty for the Atlas tire changers.

Atlas WB11:

Description:
The Atlas WB 11 is our newest addition to the Atlas line of wheel balancers. The Atlas WB 11 is designed for those shops balancing 10-20 sets of passenger tires per day.

The WB-11 is a self-calibrating computer wheel balancer. There is no need to calibrate the balancer each morning when you turn it on. The Atlas WB-11 has several different wheel weight positioning modes that allow the operator to the spin the wheel assembly one time and identify several different weight positions with just a touch of the button.

Many custom wheel owners want their stick on wheel weights to be applied to the inside of the rim, and the Atlas WB-11 shows the operator exactly how much weight is required and where to apply the weight on the inside of the rim with just one spin. Conventional steel wheels require a clip on weight to be attached to the outside and the inside of the rim. The Atlas WB-11 can automatically calculate where the weights need to be placed with just the touch of a button.

The Atlas WB-11 is very a simple, yet sophisticated wheel balancer. Each electrical component part is virtually “plug and play” so repair is easy when it is time to replace parts. The Atlas WB-11 is capable of self-diagnosing problems and displays error codes so the operator can make the necessary adjustments or repairs in his own shop. There is no need to wait for the high priced service technician to visit your store. The simplicity of the Atlas WB-11, both in ease of use and ease of repair, make this balancer the perfect choice for your shop.

The Atlas WB 11 has a newly designed keypad and display screen that is user-friendly and allows the operator to input and retrieve data very easily.

The Atlas WB 11 wheel balancer handles wheels that weigh up to 120 LB.

Most computer wheel balancers are not made in the USA. Most Big Name wheel balancer companies have one or several models of their computer wheel balancers line made in China. Famous brand names such as Hunter ® wheel balancers, Coats ® wheel balancers, Corghi ® wheel balancers, CEMB ® wheel balancers, Accu-Turn ® wheel balancers, Snap-On ® wheel balancers, Hofmann Wheel balancers ®, Ranger ® wheel balancers, and many other computer balancers manufacturers do business either directly or indirectly with Chinese manufacturers.

Many people believe that only the top quality computer wheel balancers and tire changers are manufactured in Italy. Many so-called Italian tire changers and Italian computer wheel balancers are SHIPPED to the USA from Italy...but are actually made in China. We do business directly with many of the same Chinese factories that private label for the Italian “manufacturers”. Greg Smith Equipment sells the same quality equipment, but at a huge price difference.

Atlas is proud to provide similar equipment as some of the Big Name Brands but without the Big Name Price. We know where our equipment is made and have visited the factories and suppliers in China. Most sales people of the Big Name Brand distributors have no idea where there equipment is made. These sales people have never been to any factory that makes computer wheel balancers or tire changers. They only know to tell the potential customer to not buy any tire changer or wheel balancer that comes from China. Little do they know!

Auxiliary Brake:
The Atlas WB-11 has a foot pedal auxiliary brake that allows the operator to hold the wheel assembly in the correct position when attaching the wheel weight to the rim.

Newly Designed Computer Board:
Finally, the Atlas WB 11 uses a newly designed computer board system that makes replacement of the computer board as easy as plug and play. Many of the Asian manufacturers are using computer technology that is over ten years old. All of the Atlas balancers are implementing the newest and most reliable computer technology available. This improved technology is one of the many reasons that Atlas balancers will provide years of reliable service.
