The Atlas® TC289LH rim clamp tire changer is built for shops and users who regularly handle larger tires and need extra control during mounting and demounting. With its oversized turntable and increased clearance, it’s designed to work with everything from passenger vehicles to large SUVs and one-ton trucks, making it a strong fit for medium-sized tire shops, general repair facilities, farm operations, and serious home garage setups. The addition of the Left Hand Assist (LHA) arm is what sets this version apart, giving the operator added leverage when dealing with stiff sidewalls and low-profile tires. Note: requires external air supply for operation.
The key advantage of this model is how much it reduces physical strain during difficult tire changes. The assist arm acts like a second set of hands, helping control the tire during mounting and bead seating, which is especially useful on run-flat or heavy, rigid tires. Combined with the built-in Beadblaster system, the TC289LH makes seating stubborn beads more predictable and less time-consuming. The adjustable bead breaker and multi-position jaws also give the operator flexibility to safely clamp a wide range of rim sizes, including alloy wheels that require more careful handling. The result is a machine that improves workflow without sacrificing control or safety.
This unit is best suited for medium-volume tire shops, farm service operations, and home garage owners who frequently work on trucks, SUVs, and mixed vehicle types. It’s especially valuable for single-operator setups where speed and leverage matter. The TC289LH balances capability and practicality, giving you commercial-style performance without stepping into full industrial equipment.
