APEX AT26 Tire Changer + AB28 Digital Wheel Balancer Combo
A Complete Tire Service Package for Growing Shops
The APEX AT26 and AB28 combo brings together two performance-driven machines designed to work seamlessly as a complete wheel service solution. By combining a capable swing arm tire changer with a fast, accurate digital wheel balancer, this package equips shops with the tools needed to service modern wheels efficiently from start to finish.
This combo is well suited for one to three bay shops, side-hustle operations, and serious garages that need dependable results, consistent workflow, and equipment that delivers professional performance without unnecessary complexity.
AT26 Tire Changer: Core Performance and Precision Control
The AT26 tire changer delivers the strength and control required for today’s low-profile, performance, and light-truck tires. A high-torque electric turntable provides smooth, reversible rotation, allowing technicians to adapt instantly during mounting and demounting while minimizing bead stress.
A rigid swing arm tower and spring-assisted tool shaft ensure precise tool-head positioning with minimal flex, improving repeatability and helping protect expensive wheel finishes during service.
AB28 Wheel Balancer: Speed and Accuracy Where It Matters
The AB28 digital wheel balancer delivers consistent, vibration-free balance results using advanced digital sensor technology and a direct-axis drive system. Fast cycle times improve throughput, while an intuitive graphic interface and LED-guided weight placement help technicians achieve accurate results with minimal rework.
Automatic braking holds the wheel in the correct position for weight placement, simplifying clip-on, tape, and split-weight applications.
Built to Handle Modern Wheels and Tire Designs
Together, the AT26 and AB28 are designed to support a wide range of passenger and light-truck wheel assemblies. From performance tires to larger diameter wheels, this combo provides the strength, precision, and control needed to deliver consistent, professional results.
Both machines include comprehensive wheel protection components as standard equipment, reducing the risk of cosmetic damage when servicing painted, machined, or clear-coated wheels.
Designed for Reliability and Long-Term Value
Each machine in this combo is built with durability and longevity in mind. Brushless motor technology, sealed gearboxes, precision-machined components, and premium materials reduce maintenance demands while maintaining dependable performance under daily use.
Backed by BendPak’s U.S.-based customer service and industry-leading warranty and support structure, this combo delivers long-term confidence for shops investing in their wheel service capability.
Performance and Value in One Smart Setup
The APEX AT26 and AB28 combo offers a balanced blend of capability, accuracy, and value. It is the right solution for shops and serious users who want professional results, efficient workflow, and proven BendPak backing without overpaying for features they do not need.
