APEX AT26A Swing-Arm Tire Changer with Assist Tower
12-26 Inch Rim Capacity With Assist Tower 110V or 220V

The APEX AT26A is a performance-driven swing arm tire changer built for growing shops and serious garages that demand commercial capability without commercial-grade pricing. Featuring a high-torque electric turntable, pneumatic assist tower, and robust bead-breaking system, the AT26A handles today’s low-profile, stiff sidewall, and oversized wheels with speed, control, and confidence. Backed by BendPak engineering and industry-leading warranty and support, it delivers real shop performance at a smart value.

Built for Real Tire Work, Not Light Duty Toys
The APEX AT26A is designed for shops and serious home garages that regularly service modern wheels and tires and need equipment that can keep up. From low-profile performance tires to larger light-truck assemblies, the AT26A delivers the power, rigidity, and control required to work efficiently and protect expensive wheels in the process.

This is not a hobby-grade machine. The AT26A is built on BendPak’s proven engineering standards, using heavy-duty components, rigid construction, and precision controls to deliver consistent results day after day. It is the right fit for growing shops, side-hustle businesses, track support operations, and performance-focused garages that want commercial capability without overbuying into industrial pricing.

High-Torque Power with Controlled Precision
At the core of the AT26A is a high-torque electric turntable drive that provides smooth, controlled rotation in both directions. Reversible operation allows technicians to adjust rotation instantly during mounting and demounting, reducing bead stress and minimizing the risk of tire or wheel damage.

Unlike entry-level machines that rely on abrupt or inconsistent motion, the AT26A’s controlled rotation gives the bead time to relax and move properly, making it easier to work with stiff sidewalls, run-flat designs, and performance tires that demand a more delicate approach.

Pneumatic Assist for Today’s Tough Tires
Modern tires are heavier, stiffer, and less forgiving than ever. That is why the AT26A includes a full pneumatic assist tower as standard equipment.

The assist system stabilizes the tire, holds beads in the drop center, and provides controlled leverage during mounting and demounting. This dramatically reduces technician effort while improving safety, consistency, and wheel protection. The result is faster service, fewer mistakes, and less physical strain during long days in the shop.

Designed to Protect Expensive Wheels
Performance wheels are not cheap, and neither are the mistakes that damage them. The AT26A is designed to protect wheels at every step of the process.

It 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 standard, not optional upgrades. This allows technicians to work confidently on painted, powder-coated, machined, and clear-coated wheels without risking cosmetic damage.

Built for Long-Term Reliability
Every major component of the AT26A is engineered for longevity. A brushless AC motor delivers consistent power with reduced maintenance. The sealed, maintenance-free gearbox ensures smooth operation and long service life. Premium pneumatic components reduce vibration, resist corrosion, and maintain consistent performance under daily use.

This focus on durability keeps downtime low, service life long, and total cost of ownership predictable.

Backed by BendPak Support and Industry-Leading Warranty
The AT26A is backed by BendPak’s U.S.-based customer service, technical support, and an industry-leading warranty and support structure. That means parts availability, real technical help, and long-term backing that protects your investment well beyond the initial purchase.

It is performance you can trust, value you can justify, and support you can rely on.
