APlusLift BST-24 Tire Wheel Changer with Bead Blaster

APlusLift BST-24 Tire Changer with Hand-Held Bead Blaster

A stuck bead or a stubborn low-profile tire can turn a five-minute tire swap into a fight with pry bars and cursing — call Alamo at (817) 865-3707 if you want help sizing the right equipment before that happens. The BST-24 is built to take that fight out of the job: a hand-held bead blaster for beads that won't seat, and a 5,600 lb pneumatic bead breaker so you're not muscling the tire off the rim by hand.

It's a semi-automatic swing-arm tire changer that handles outside rim clamping from 10"-21" and inside clamping from 12"-24", with a maximum tire diameter of 39" and maximum width of 14" — enough range to cover most passenger and light-truck work without swapping equipment.

Who the WBS-500 Is Built For

• Shops running mixed passenger and light-truck tires — 10"-21" outside clamping and 12"-24" inside clamping cover most everyday service work without a second machine.
• Shops that also work motorcycle or ATV wheels — the optional adapter expands inside clamping down to 7", so one changer covers both jobs.
• Techs dealing with stuck or hard-to-seat beads on low-profile or run-flat tires — the included hand-held bead blaster and 5,600 lb pneumatic bead breaker are built specifically for that fight.
• Shops on standard 110V single-phase power with 120 PSI shop air — no special electrical service or high-pressure air upgrade required to run it.
• Shops that care about noise in a shared shop floor — rated under 60 dB, quieter than most swing-arm changers in this class.
  

What Makes the BST-24 Different

Hand-Held Bead Blaster

A hand-held bead blaster is included standard — not an add-on option. That matters because low-profile and run-flat tires that won't seat with a standard air chuck are exactly the jobs that eat up bay time on a busy day; the blaster is built to solve that specific problem rather than leaving it to pry bars and patience.

5,600 lb Pneumatic Bead Breaker

The bead breaker delivers 5,600 lbs of force through the adjustable bead pressing shovel, so stuck beads come off the rim under machine power rather than a tech muscling it by hand.

• Confirm your shop air meets the 120 PSI (8 bar) operating requirement before ordering — the bead breaker needs it to hit full force
• One-piece cast clamping jaws are built to hold the rim steady while that force is applied
• Ask Alamo if you're unsure whether your compressor keeps up with continuous tire-bay use

24" Central Turntable and Clamping Range

The 24" turntable and one-piece cast clamping jaws handle 10"-21" outside clamping and 12"-24" inside clamping as standard, covering most passenger and light-truck wheels without swapping jaws or equipment.

Best For

• Shops running mixed passenger and light-truck tires within the 10"-21"/12"-24" clamping range
• Shops that also want to service motorcycle/ATV wheels with the optional adapter
• Shops with 110V single-phase power and 120 PSI shop air already available
• Shops that want quieter equipment on a shared floor
  

Not Ideal For

• Tires above the 39" diameter / 14" width maximum
• Rims outside the 10"-24" clamping range (7"-24" with the optional adapter)
• Shops without 120 PSI shop air available
• Shops needing a fully automatic (rather than semi-automatic) changer
