The Atlas Platinum PTC400 + PWB50 combo is a complete mount-and-balance workstation designed for shops that want a streamlined, high-throughput tire service setup in a standard 110V footprint. It combines the PTC400 center-post swing-arm tire changer with the PWB50 computer-controlled 2D wheel balancer, both built with Italian-engineered components and backed by a 2-year parts-only warranty. The system ships freight and requires access for a 53’ truck.
The PTC400 tire changer is built around a center-post swing-arm design that improves wheel stability during mounting and demounting, especially on modern low-profile and run-flat tires. It supports a 26" external clamping capacity and up to 43" tire diameter, making it suitable for most passenger and light truck applications. A left-hand assist arm comes standard, giving technicians extra control when breaking beads or lifting stiff sidewalls, which reduces manual effort during difficult tire work. The machine uses a high-torque 110V electric turntable, an air-operated bead breaker with anodized aluminum cylinder, and an integrated bead-blast system to improve seating on stubborn tires. A metal mount/demount head with replaceable plastic inserts protects alloy wheels during repeated daily use, while the included FRL unit and inflator gauge system help maintain consistent air performance. The unit requires an external air supply (120–145 PSI) and ships partially assembled.
The PWB50 wheel balancer is a computer-controlled 2D balancing system designed for speed and simplicity in everyday shop use. It features automatic 2D data entry through a single gauge, 7-second cycle times, and 1-gram balancing accuracy. Functions like OPTIMATCH, FES split-weight hiding, and OPF positioning help technicians handle challenging wheel assemblies efficiently, while ALU and ALU-S programs support modern alloy wheel designs. The NWN self-calibration system, automatic hood start/stop, and USB firmware updates reduce setup time and keep the machine consistent across users. It does not require floor anchoring and includes a full accessory kit for immediate operation.
This combo is best suited for tire shops, dealerships, and automotive service centers that want a reliable, efficient two-machine workflow with assist-arm tire mounting and fast, automated wheel balancing in a compact 110V setup.
