Product Description
APEX AT26A Tire Changer w/ Assist Tower + AB28 Digital Wheel Balancer Combo
A Complete Wheel Service Solution Built for Real Work
The APEX AT26A and AB28 combo is designed for shops and serious garages that want a full tire changing and balancing solution without piecing together mismatched equipment. By combining a high-capability swing arm tire changer with a fast, accurate digital wheel balancer, this package delivers everything needed to service modern wheels efficiently from start to finish.
This combo is ideal for one to three bay shops, side-hustle operations, and performance-focused garages that need dependable results, consistent workflow, and equipment that can keep up as demand grows.
AT26A Tire Changer: Power, Control, and Wheel Protection
The AT26A tire changer brings the muscle and precision required for today’s low-profile, stiff-sidewall, and light-truck tires. A high-torque electric turntable delivers smooth, controlled rotation in both directions, allowing technicians to adapt instantly during mounting and demounting while minimizing bead stress.
A full pneumatic assist tower is included to stabilize difficult tires, hold beads in the drop center, and reduce physical strain on the operator. This improves speed, safety, and consistency when working with modern tire designs that demand extra control.
Wheel protection is built in, with both hardened steel and polymer mount and demount heads included, along with standard plastic clamp covers. This allows technicians to work confidently on painted, machined, and clear-coated wheels without risking cosmetic damage.
AB28 Wheel Balancer: Fast, Accurate, and Easy to Use
The AB28 digital wheel balancer delivers commercial-grade accuracy in a streamlined, value-focused design. Advanced digital sensor technology and a direct-axis drive system provide smooth, vibration-free rotation and repeatable balance measurements down to hundredths of an ounce.
Fast balance cycle times improve throughput, while an intuitive graphic interface and bright LED weight placement indicators guide technicians to exact correction points. Automatic braking holds the wheel precisely in position, reducing guesswork and rework.
Designed to Handle Modern Wheels and Tires
Together, the AT26A and AB28 are engineered to handle a wide range of passenger, light truck, and performance wheel assemblies. From low-profile tires to larger-diameter wheels, this combo provides the strength, precision, and protection needed to deliver consistent, professional results.
Both machines include comprehensive mounting and protection components as standard equipment, eliminating the need for immediate upgrades or add-ons.
Built for Reliability and Long-Term Value
Each component in this combo is built for daily use and long service life. Brushless motor technology, sealed gearboxes, precision-machined components, and premium pneumatic systems reduce maintenance while maintaining consistent performance.
Backed by BendPak’s U.S.-based customer service and industry-leading warranty and support structure, this combo provides long-term confidence for shops investing in their wheel service operation.
