APlusLift THA-28 Tire Changer #THA-28

APlusLift THA-28 — Big-Rim Tire Changer with Help Arms and Bead Blaster

Twenty-six-inch rims and 45-inch tires don't negotiate with changers built for passenger cars — the machine either clamps them or the job goes down the street. The APlusLift THA-28 is built for the big-wheel end of the work: 12–26 inches of external clamping (14–28 internal), tires to 45 inches in diameter and 16 wide, a 26-inch central turntable, and both help arms (009 and 098) for the stiff sidewalls that come with that territory.

It also carries a built-in bead blaster with its own 6.34-gallon air tank — the feature that seats stubborn beads on low-profile and truck tires — plus a 5,600-pound pneumatic bead-break piston, all running on 110 volts with the plug included.

Who the APlusLift THA-28 Is Built For

• Wheel shops doing 22"–26" custom rims — external clamping to 26" and internal to 28" is the range the passenger-car changers don't reach.
• Shops fighting low-profile and stiff-sidewall truck tires — the 009 and 098 help arms press, central-lock, and lift, and the built-in bead blaster (120–145 PSI, 6.34-gal tank) seats beads that won't cooperate.
• Light-truck and SUV tire specialists — 45" tire diameter and 16" of width covers the big AT/MT rubber without adapter gymnastics.
• Shops that want the bead blaster built in — no separate air tank plumbing, no aftermarket blast box on the wall; it's on the machine.
• Plug-in buyers — 110 volts, plug included; the big-wheel machine that doesn't need an electrician.

What the APlusLift THA-28 Is NOT Built For

This is not the value play — the TSA-24 covers passenger-car work for less, and the DHM-24 adds a 3-year warranty at the smaller clamping range. It's not for shops that never see big rims (that's buying range you don't use), and like all air tire equipment it needs 120 PSI to do its work.

Important sizing note: check your rim mix against the 12"–26" external / 14"–28" internal clamping range, confirm 120 PSI air (plus 120–145 PSI for the bead blaster), and plan a 110V outlet before purchase.

What Makes the APlusLift THA-28 Different

The clamping range that defines it

External 12"–26", internal 14"–28" (down to 7" with optional adapters), on a 26" central turntable with one-piece casting jaws — the big-wheel capacity.

• 26" external clamping
• 45" tire diameter
• 16" tire width

Help arms + bead blaster

The 009 and 098 help arms handle the stiff sidewalls; the built-in bead blaster (6.34-gallon tank, 120–145 PSI) seats the beads — the two features big-wheel work actually pays for.

Same quiet plug-in recipe

110 volts with the plug included, under 60 dB, CE certified — big capability without big installation demands.

Best For

• 22"–26" custom rims
• Low-profile / stiff sidewalls
• Light-truck AT/MT tires
• Bead blaster built in

Not Ideal For

• Passenger-car-only shops (see TSA-24)
• 3-yr-warranty shoppers (see DHM-24)
• Shops without 120 PSI air
