APEX AT26 Swing-Arm Tire Changer
12-26 Inch Rim Capacity 110V or 220V
The APEX AT26 is a high-performance swing arm tire changer designed for growing shops and serious garages that want commercial-grade capability without paying for features they do not need. Built to handle modern low-profile and light-truck tires with precision and control, the AT26 delivers dependable performance, excellent wheel protection, and long-term reliability backed by BendPak engineering and industry-leading warranty and support.
Built for Modern Tires and Real-World Work
The APEX AT26 is designed for technicians and serious enthusiasts who need reliable performance when working with today's low-profile, stiff-sidewall, and larger-diameter tire and wheel assemblies. It provides the core capability required to mount and demount modern tires efficiently, without unnecessary complexity or cost.
Whether you are running a one or two bay shop, supporting track vehicles, or building a serious home garage, the AT26 delivers consistent results with a straightforward, durable design that focuses on what matters most in daily tire service.
High-Torque Control Where It Counts
The AT26 uses a high-torque electric turntable drive to provide smooth, controlled rotation in both directions. Reversible operation allows technicians to instantly adjust rotation during mounting and demounting, helping reduce bead stress and prevent damage to expensive wheels.
This controlled motion is especially valuable when working with performance tires and modern sidewall designs that require a more measured, deliberate approach instead of abrupt or inconsistent movement.
Rigid Construction for Precision and Repeatability
A rigid swing arm tower and spring-assisted tool shaft ensure accurate, repeatable tool-head positioning with minimal flex. This rigidity improves consistency from wheel to wheel and helps reduce the risk of cosmetic damage when working with painted, machined, or clear-coated rims.
The result is a stable, predictable working platform that allows technicians to focus on the job instead of compensating for machine movement.
Designed to Protect High-Value Wheels
The AT26 includes both a hardened steel mount and demount head for durability and a polymer head for delicate finishes. Plastic clamp covers and protective components are included as standard equipment, eliminating the need for add-ons or upgrades to safely service premium wheels.
This built-in protection makes the AT26 a practical choice for shops that regularly work on performance, custom, and OE alloy wheels.
Built for Long-Term Reliability and Support
The AT26 is engineered around long-life components that reduce maintenance and maximize uptime. A brushless AC motor provides consistent power with lower heat and wear. A sealed, maintenance-free gearbox ensures smooth operation over years of daily use.
Backed by BendPak's U.S.-based technical support and industry-leading warranty and support structure, the AT26 offers long-term confidence that extends well beyond the initial purchase.
A Smart Performance and Value Choice
The APEX AT26 delivers real shop performance in a streamlined package built for efficiency, reliability, and value. It is the right choice for businesses and serious users who want professional results without overbuying into unnecessary complexity or industrial pricing.
