APlusLift TFW-26 Tire Changer #TFW-26

APlusLift TFW-26 — Tire Changer with Four-Angle Directional Pressing Shovel

Some tires don't want the shovel where the shovel usually sits — wide AT tires, awkward sidewall profiles, and the oddball jobs where a fixed pressing angle means fighting the bead instead of pressing it. The APlusLift TFW-26 is built around that problem: a four-angle directional pressing shovel that adjusts to the tire, on a 26-inch-turntable chassis with the big-tire numbers (45-inch diameter, 16-inch width).

It clamps 12–23 inches outside (14–26 inside), breaks beads with a 5,600-pound pneumatic piston at 120 PSI, runs on 110 volts with the plug included, and carries the same one-piece casting jaws and CE certification as the rest of the line.

Who the APlusLift TFW-26 Is Built For

• Shops working wide AT/MT and awkward-profile tires — the four-angle directional shovel adjusts its pressing position to the tire instead of forcing the tire to the tool.
• Light-truck tire specialists — 45" tire diameter and 16" of width on a 26" turntable covers the rubber the 24"-turntable models turn away.
• Shops that want shovel flexibility without the THA-28's help-arm package — the TFW-26's differentiator is the directional shovel, priced between the TSA-24 and the full THA-28.
• Plug-in buyers — 110 volts, plug included; the directional-shovel machine that installs itself.
• Shops with a mostly-truck mix — the clamping range (12"–23" external, 14"–26" internal) is aimed at truck and SUV wheels rather than custom 26" rims.

What the APlusLift TFW-26 Is NOT Built For

This is not for 24-inch-plus external rims — the THA-28's 26" external clamping is the big-rim machine; the TFW-26 tops out at 23" external. It has no bead blaster (the THA-28 carries one) and its noise spec runs under 75 dB — louder than the 60 dB siblings, worth knowing in a shared space.

Important sizing note: check your rim mix against the 12"–23" external / 14"–26" internal clamping range, confirm 120 PSI air, and plan a 110V outlet before purchase. Questions on fit? Call (817) 865-3707 before ordering — we confirm compatibility, not guesses.

What Makes the APlusLift TFW-26 Different

The four-angle directional shovel — the point of the machine

The pressing shovel adjusts across four directional angles, meeting the tire where the bead needs pressing instead of at one fixed point.

• Four-angle directional shovel
• Adjustable pressing positions
• 26" turntable chassis

Big-tire numbers on a plug-in machine

45" tire diameter, 16" width, 5,600 lb pneumatic bead-break at 120 PSI — light-truck capability on a 110V plug-in build.

Same honest construction

One-piece casting jaws, powder coat, CE certification — the TFW-26 shares the line's build quality and skips only what it doesn't need.

Best For

• Wide AT/MT tire work
• Truck / SUV wheel mixes
• Shovel flexibility
• 110V plug-in

Not Ideal For

• Rims over 23" ext (see THA-28)
• Bead-blaster requirements (see THA-28)
• Very quiet-space installs (<75 dB, not <60)

TFW-26 vs THA-28 — the 26-inch-turntable pair

Same big-tire chassis class — the THA-28 is the full big-rim package; the TFW-26 is the directional-shovel specialist.
