The Atlas® TC229 Rim-Clamp Tire Changer is a powerful and reliable swing arm tire changer designed for home garages, small commercial shops, and ATV/motorcycle dealers. This model combines the functionality of the Atlas TC221 with the added convenience of a built-in Beadblaster system—ideal for inflating stiff sidewall tires or hard-to-inflate assemblies. With a robust 1 HP motor, powerful 5,500 lb. bead breaker, and three-position adjustable jaws, the TC229 is built to handle a wide range of wheels from 9 ¾” to 25 ¼” with ease.
The TC229 features air-operated jaws and bead breaker (external air supply required), an electric turntable, and a column-mounted inflator box with integrated gauge. It also includes a full set of accessories, such as a 20” tire tool, lube bucket with brush, large plastic jaw covers, bead breaker shovel cover, and multiple replacement inserts for the mount/demount head. This tire changer is suitable for steel, aluminum, and alloy rims, with optional adapters for motorcycle and ATV use. Backed by Atlas’s strong parts availability and a 1-year parts-only warranty, the TC229 is an ideal solution for dependable wheel service at an affordable price.
