iDEAL Motorcycle / ATV Tire Changer, BLACK — TC-400M-B-iDEAL-BLK
The TC-400M-B-iDEAL-BLK is the black-finish version of iDEAL's TC-400M-B-iDEAL swing-arm tire changer, built specifically for motorcycle, ATV, and other powersport wheel and tire service. It handles wheels up to 37 in diameter and 10 in width, with an outside rim clamping range of 6 in to 24 in covering most standard powersport rim sizes.
Mechanically and functionally it is the same machine as the standard TC-400M-B-iDEAL — four adjustable clamps, powerful double-acting pneumatic cylinders, plastic clamp covers that protect wheels from scratching, a 5,500 lb bead breaker, electric table rotation, and an easy-to-use hand-held inflation gun. A regulator, oiler, and water trap are included. The only difference is the black powder-coat finish in place of the standard color.
It's built for powersport dealerships, motorcycle/ATV repair shops, and general repair facilities that want dedicated motorcycle and ATV tire service capability with a black-finish machine to match shop equipment or branding preferences.
Who It's Built For
- ✅ Powersport dealerships and motorcycle/ATV repair shops that prefer a black-finish machine
- ✅ General repair shops adding dedicated motorcycle/ATV tire service capability
- ✅ Shops wanting wheel-safe clamping (plastic-protected) for finished powersport rims
What It's NOT Built For
- ❌ Passenger car or light-truck tire service — this unit is sized for powersport wheels up to 37 in diameter / 10 in width
- ❌ Shops without 110V single-phase power or a 125 psi compressed air supply at the point of use

What Makes the TC-400M-B-iDEAL-BLK Different

TC-400M-B-iDEAL-BLK vs. TC-400M-B-iDEAL (Standard Finish)
These are the same tire changer — identical clamping range, bead breaker force, power/air requirements, and included accessories. The BLK model has a black powder-coat finish; the standard model ships in iDEAL's standard finish. Pick whichever finish suits your shop.
TC-400M-B-iDEAL-BLK vs. TC-400M-B-PL230-K-BLK (Assist Arm)
The PL230-K-BLK is this same black-finish machine with a factory-installed assist arm added for easier handling of larger, heavier powersport wheels — it ships about 60 lb heavier as a result. Choose the base BLK model if you don't need the assist arm; choose PL230-K-BLK if your shop regularly handles bigger ATV/UTV wheels and wants the extra handling support.
