Atlas Tire Changers

Atlas tire changers are available in multiple configurations for different levels of tire-service work. For a general repair shop, a traditional swing-arm tire changer may provide everything needed for common passenger-car and light-truck tires. Shops regularly servicing low-profile, performance or more difficult tires may benefit from an Atlas tire changer equipped with additional assist features.

When comparing Atlas tire changers, consider:

  • External and internal rim clamping range
  • Maximum tire diameter and width
  • Bead-breaker capacity
  • Assist arms and helper devices
  • Low-profile and performance tire capabilities
  • Turntable and clamping design
  • Power and compressed-air requirements

HeavyLift Direct can help you compare Atlas tire changer models based on the types of vehicles and wheels you actually service.

Atlas Wheel Balancers

Pair your tire changer with an Atlas wheel balancer to create a complete tire-service setup. Atlas offers wheel balancing equipment for shops handling passenger cars, light trucks and other automotive applications.

The right wheel balancer can make repetitive balancing work faster while helping technicians accurately identify the amount and placement of corrective wheel weights.

When shopping for an Atlas wheel balancer, compare features such as wheel-size capacity, balancing modes, measurement functions, cycle time and available adapters.

Atlas Tire Changer and Wheel Balancer Combos

For a new shop or an existing business upgrading both machines, an Atlas tire changer and wheel balancer combo can be an attractive alternative to purchasing each machine separately.

A matched tire machine package gives your shop the equipment needed to remove and install tires and then properly balance the wheel and tire assembly. HeavyLift Direct offers Atlas tire equipment individually as well as select tire changer and wheel balancer combinations.

Which Atlas Tire Machine Is Right for You?

There isn't one Atlas tire machine that's best for every shop.

A small repair garage primarily working on standard passenger vehicles has very different requirements from a high-volume tire store regularly handling low-profile tires, custom wheels and larger light-truck applications.

Before buying, consider the largest and smallest wheels you service, tire width and diameter, volume of tire work, types of tires you encounter and available shop space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Atlas tire machines good for professional shops?

Atlas offers tire changers and wheel balancers for a range of automotive applications. The appropriate machine depends on your shop's volume, wheel sizes and the types of tires you regularly service.

What is the difference between an Atlas tire changer and an Atlas wheel balancer?

An Atlas tire changer is used to remove a tire from a wheel and install a tire onto a wheel. An Atlas wheel balancer is used afterward to identify wheel-and-tire imbalance and determine the placement of corrective weights.

Which Atlas tire changer should I buy?

Start with the wheel and tire sizes you service. Pay particular attention to the machine's internal and external clamping ranges, maximum tire diameter, maximum wheel width and whether you need assist arms for low-profile or difficult tires.

Does Atlas make tire changer and wheel balancer combos?

Yes. Atlas tire changers and wheel balancers can be purchased in configurations suitable for creating a complete tire-service setup. HeavyLift Direct can help you determine whether purchasing a combination or selecting the machines individually makes more sense.

Can Atlas tire changers handle low-profile tires?

Some Atlas tire changers are better suited to low-profile and performance tires than basic models. If these tires make up a significant portion of your work, look closely at assist-arm features and the machine's tire and wheel specifications.

What size air compressor do I need for an Atlas tire changer?

Air requirements vary by tire changer. Check the specifications for the particular Atlas model before purchasing. Your compressor also needs sufficient capacity to maintain the required pressure during normal shop use.
