Atlas TC289 Extra-Large Rim-Clamp Tire Changer for Trucks and SUVs
The TC221 / TC229 line tops out at 25 1/4 in internal clamping and 39 in max tire — fine for cars and light trucks, but it leaves out one-ton truck wheels, large SUVs, and farm/agricultural tires. Stepping up to a Platinum-line center-post changer to fit those wheels is a $4K+ jump.
The Atlas TC289 is the extra-large rim-clamp changer that fits the gap. 29 7/8 in internal clamping, 28 in external, 47 in max tire diameter — enough range for the biggest one-ton truck rims and most agricultural tires. Built-in Beadblaster, an adjustable bead breaker plate that accommodates 14 3/4 in to 18 1/2 in wheel widths, and the same TC22X build quality.

Extra-Large Turntable Solves the One-Ton Truck Problem
Standard rim-clamp changers like the TC221 and TC229 max out around 25 1/4 in internal clamping — fine for most cars and light trucks, but not enough for one-ton truck rims (typically 17 in to 22 in but with deep offsets), large SUV alloys, or agricultural tires. The TC289's extra-large turntable extends that range to 29 7/8 in internal and 28 in external.
Combined with the adjustable bead breaker plate (14 3/4 in or 18 1/2 in positions), the TC289 handles the wider tire widths that come with those larger rims. For a shop running a mixed fleet that includes one-ton trucks, ag tires, or lifted off-road builds, that range matters.
Same TC22X Build, Lifted to Bigger Wheels
The TC289 isn't a different product line — it's a TC22X-family machine scaled up. Same pneumatic clamping system, same Beadblaster integration, same 5,500 lb bead breaker, same 1 HP table motor. Parts and consumables are interchangeable with the TC221 / TC229 family.
What's different: the bigger turntable, the adjustable bead breaker plate, and the larger swing-arm geometry to clear bigger wheels. Same operator workflow, just with more rim coverage.
The Right Tire Changer for Your Shop
The TC289 is the answer when the shop needs to fit one-ton truck and agricultural tires without stepping up to a Platinum-line center-post machine. Same TC22X build quality, just scaled to the bigger wheels.
