Atlas Platinum PTC300 — Rim-Clamp Swing-Arm Tire Changer with Assist Arm

The Atlas Platinum PTC300 is a semi-automatic rim-clamp tire changer engineered in Italy for professional tire service shops. The swing-arm design positions the mounting and demounting head precisely over the wheel, while the rim-clamp turntable secures wheels from 10 to 24 inches in exterior diameter. The metal mount/demount head features a replaceable plastic insert that protects alloy and painted rims from scratching during tire changes. An air-operated bead breaker with pneumatic cylinder delivers consistent breaking force for passenger and light-truck tires up to 43 inches (1,100mm) in overall diameter.

Swing-Arm Operation & Turntable

The PTC300 uses a horizontal and vertical arm assembly that swings the mount/demount head into position over the turntable. A locking lever secures the arm during operation, preventing unwanted movement while the electric turntable rotates the wheel at a controlled speed for smooth tire mounting and demounting. The rim-clamp system grips the wheel from the outside using four self-centering jaws, accommodating standard steel and alloy wheels from 10 to 24 inches. Clamp and reverser control pedals at the base of the machine give the operator hands-free turntable control during the tire change process.

Air-Operated Bead Breaker

The pneumatic bead breaker operates at 8-10 bar (115-145 PSI) of compressed air, supplied through the machine's integrated air system with an inline gauge for pressure monitoring. The bead breaker shovel is protected by a plastic cover to prevent rim damage during bead separation. A dedicated bead breaker control pedal allows the operator to actuate the breaker while keeping both hands free to position the tire. The bead lifting lever assists with seating stubborn beads during the mounting phase.

Machine Specifications & Footprint

The PTC300 measures approximately 36 to 44 inches wide (910-1,120mm), 38 inches deep (970mm), and 57 to 69 inches tall (1,460-1,750mm) depending on arm position. The compact footprint fits comfortably in a single service bay. The machine operates on 110V single-phase power for the electric turntable motor and requires an external compressed air supply at 8-10 bar for the bead breaker and pneumatic functions. Shipping weight is approximately 575 lbs.

Included Accessories

The PTC300 ships with the mounting bar, tire tools, a lube bucket with brush, the replaceable plastic mount/demount head insert, and the bead breaker shovel cover. All replacement parts and wear items are kept in stock for fast availability. The Atlas Platinum PTC300 is backed by a 2-year parts-only warranty.
