The Atlas Platinum PTC300 swing-arm tire changer is designed for high-volume tire shops that need speed, control, and consistent performance across a wide range of wheel and tire sizes. Built around an Italian-engineered rim clamp system with a 26-inch clamping capacity, it combines a 110V high-torque electric turntable with air-operated bead breaking and clamping functions, making it a practical fit for shops that want commercial capability without stepping into fully automated systems. Note: requires an external air supply, and delivery must accommodate a 53' truck.
What sets the PTC300 apart is its assist-arm system and reinforced bead handling design. The included left-hand bead pressing and bead lifting assist arm helps technicians work through stiff sidewalls, low-profile tires, and run-flat assemblies with less manual force. The anodized aluminum bead breaker cylinder and integrated bead blast system are designed to reduce effort during stubborn tire separation while improving seating consistency when reinstalling tires. Combined with the metal mount/demount head and replaceable plastic inserts, the system is built to reduce rim damage while maintaining repeatable workflow in busy environments.
The machine also comes equipped with a full operational support package, including a column-mounted inflation gauge, filter/regulator/lubricator unit, tire tool, lube bucket with brush, and protective jaw and bead breaker covers. These components are aimed at keeping the workflow efficient while protecting both wheels and tooling during repeated daily use. The star-shaped turntable and large plastic jaw covers help secure a wide variety of wheel profiles, including low-profile and performance setups.
This model is best suited for tire shops, automotive service centers, dealerships, and high-volume repair operations that handle frequent tire changes and need a reliable swing-arm changer with assist functionality and durable Italian-style engineering for consistent day-to-day use.
