Atlas TC320Plus Tyre Changer 24″ Fully Automatic with Assist Arm

Atlas TC320Plus Tyre Changer 24″ Fully Automatic with Assist Arm

In the modern automotive service environment, precision and speed serve as the foundation for a successful tyre shop. The Atlas TC320Plus Tyre Changer 24″ Fully Automatic with Assist Arm represents a significant leap forward in workshop technology. This robust unit is engineered to streamline the demanding process of tyre removal and replacement while maintaining the highest standards of safety for both the operator and the customer vehicle.

Designed to provide optimal efficiency, this machine handles a wide range of rim sizes and tyre profiles. Whether you are managing standard passenger vehicle tyres or complex low-profile and run-flat variants, this equipment delivers reliable performance through its intuitive design and reinforced structural integrity.

Mechanical Physics and Operational Excellence

The mechanical efficiency of this machine relies on the precise application of pneumatic force and leverage. During the bead breaking process, the system exerts controlled pressure to separate the tyre wall from the rim flange without causing structural fatigue to the metal. This ensures that the integrity of the alloy wheel remains uncompromised even under high-torque conditions.

The pneumatic assist arm acts as a force multiplier for the technician. By providing a stable point of leverage, it lifts and depresses the bead with minimal manual effort. This reduction in physical force application prevents component flex, ensuring that the mounting head remains perfectly aligned with the wheel edge during the entire rotation cycle. The structural chassis is built from heavy gauge steel to absorb the vibrations inherent in high-speed rotation, which protects the internal motors and gearboxes from premature wear.

Operational Workflow for Technicians

Working with this system follows a streamlined, ergonomic sequence designed to maximise throughput. First, the operator positions the wheel onto the turntable where the three-position clamping jaws engage the rim securely. This locking mechanism is designed to distribute force evenly across the contact points, which prevents slippage and surface marring.

Once secured, the technician uses the tilt arm to position the mounting head at the exact offset of the rim. The pneumatic assist arm then provides the necessary downward pressure to keep the tyre bead in the drop centre of the rim. As the turntable rotates, the machine handles the complex geometry of modern tyres with ease. The final step involves removing the wheel from the turntable, a process made fluid by the machine’s smooth rotation and braking capabilities.

Ergonomics and Safety Compliance

Modern workshops face significant challenges regarding worker health and safety. Repetitive manual handling of heavy wheels can lead to chronic musculoskeletal issues among technicians. This equipment addresses these concerns by automating the most physically demanding stages of the tyre change.

By utilising the power assist arm, the technician avoids the need for excessive manual straining or awkward bending. This shift in operational procedure contributes to a safer working environment that complies with current workplace safety standards. The intuitive control layout allows the operator to maintain a neutral posture, reducing fatigue over long shifts and ensuring that focus remains on the accuracy of the task rather than the physical difficulty of the labour.

Commercial Returns and Throughput

Investing in high-performance workshop machinery is a clear strategy for increasing daily profit margins. The ability to complete tyre changes in a fraction of the time required by manual or semi-automatic alternatives directly impacts the number of vehicles serviced per day. Every minute saved per unit translates to a higher volume of billable hours for your garage.

Furthermore, the built-in alloy wheel protection kit serves as an insurance policy for your workshop reputation. By preventing accidental scuffs or damage to premium alloy wheels, the machine eliminates the costs associated with customer claims and repairs. Protecting customer assets builds loyalty and encourages repeat business, which is essential for long-term growth in a competitive service market.

Key Features of the 24 Inch Fully Automatic System

• The integrated three-point assist arm ensures that lifting and depressing the tyre bead is safe and efficient.
• The tilt arm design allows for rapid machine resets, which is perfect for busy environments that value time efficiency.
• Users can rely on the three-position clamping jaws to provide a secure grip on a wide array of wheel diameters.
• Power assist functions make the notoriously difficult task of changing run-flat tyres feel effortless.
• A front access panel is included for simple maintenance, ensuring that your machinery remains operational with minimal downtime.
• The system is compatible with motorcycle adaptors for those needing a more versatile workshop setup.

Versatility and Optional Accessories

While the standard kit provided with your purchase covers the vast majority of passenger vehicle requirements, you can further enhance your workshop capabilities by adding specific components. If your business handles motorcycles, we offer motorcycle adaptors that include custom jaws, mounting heads, and specialised bead breaker blades. These accessories allow you to expand your service offering to a broader customer base without the need to purchase additional dedicated machines.

The included alloy wheel protection kit contains everything needed to safeguard delicate finishes. This includes durable plastic inserts for the metal mounting head, a protective cover for the tyre lever, a comprehensive set of four clamping jaw covers, and a robust plastic bead breaker cover. Keeping these items in good condition ensures that your shop continues to operate to a professional standard.
