Atlas® TC289DAA Tire Changer with Dual Assist Arms #ATETC289DAA-FPD

Atlas® TC289DAA Tire Changer with Dual Assist Arms

A rim-clamp changer that tops out below 24" turns away every lifted truck, oversized SUV, and big-alloy job that walks through the door — and those are exactly the vehicles carrying today's larger factory and aftermarket wheels. The Atlas® TC289DAA solves that ceiling with an 11 7/8"–27 7/8" external clamping range, so the same bay that used to say "we can't fit that one" can now take it.

What separates the TC289DAA from the standard-size TC229DAA isn't just a bigger turntable — it's that both assist arms come standard on the larger machine, letting a technician work stiff, high-sidewall tires from either side of the wheel without upgrading later. Pair that with 5,500 lb. of bead-breaking force and a 47" max tire diameter, and this changer is built specifically for the wheel-and-tire sizes that outgrow entry-level equipment.

Who the TC289DAA Is Built For

• A general-repair shop that's started turning away lifted trucks and big SUVs because their old changer maxes out around 24" — the TC289DAA's 27 7/8" external range reopens that business instead of losing it to the shop down the street.
• A tire dealer whose counter staff keep quoting jobs, then finding out mid-appointment the current machine can't clamp the customer's 26" or 27" wheel — a hard capacity ceiling that costs rescheduled appointments and refunds.
• A two-bay shop where one technician handles mount/demount solo and needs both assist arms standard, not as an add-on, so stiff sidewalls don't turn into a two-person job every time.
• A shop that services a mix of stock and aftermarket wheels and needs 5,500 lb. of bead-breaking force to seat stubborn, aged, or reinforced sidewalls without a second or third attempt.
• An owner replacing a changer that keeps needing repairs on big trucks and SUVs, looking for a single 51"x45" footprint machine that handles both everyday cars and the larger wheels without a second unit.
• A shop expanding into light-truck and SUV tire work that wants dual assist arms built in from day one instead of discovering later that the single-arm model can't keep up with demand.

What the TC289DAA Is NOT Built For

Shops that mostly run smaller passenger wheels and don't need the TC289DAA's larger 27 7/8" max rim range should look at the Atlas TC229DAA — it covers up to 23 1/4" at a lower price in a more compact footprint.

What Makes the TC289DAA Different

Large Rim-Clamp / Swing-Arm Design

Extra-large turntable gives more clearance for bigger wheel-and-tire assemblies in a compact 51"x45" footprint.

Dual Assist Arms Included

Both assist arms come standard at no extra cost, giving technicians control from either side of the wheel during mount/demount on stiff sidewalls.

Air-Operated Jaws & Bead Breaker

5,500 lb. of bead-breaking force handles stuck, aged, or high-sidewall tires that beat up lighter-duty changers.

Adjustable 3-Position Jaws + Bead Breaker Plate

Stretches the clamping range from 11 7/8" up to 27 7/8" on one machine, covering most passenger and light-truck wheel sizes.

Metal Mount/Demount Head

Metal roller or replaceable plastic inserts protect wheel finishes during service.
