On the PTC300 it is not. The left-hand bead pressing and bead lifting assist arm arrives in the crate, mounted to the same column, as standard equipment — and that single decision is the difference between a machine one technician can run all day and a machine that needs a second pair of hands every time a stiff-sidewall tire comes through the door.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eEverything else is the configuration high-volume tire shops already know: swing arm, extra-large star-shaped turntable, air-operated jaws, electric drive, and a bead-inflation system built into the column. The Platinum line is Atlas's Italian-designed wheel-service range, and the PTC300 is sold as one complete machine rather than a base unit with a page of options.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWill It Fit — and What Do You Have to Supply?\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFloor space is rarely what stops this machine going in.

That compressor is \u003cstrong\u003enot\u003c\/strong\u003e included and is not part of the shipment. If your shop air is marginal, sort that out before the changer arrives, not after.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePower.\u003c\/strong\u003e The turntable motor runs on 110 volt, so it takes an ordinary single-phase shop outlet.

We can tell you what the machine needs; only you can tell us what your building has.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWhat It Will and Will Not Clamp\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eA rim-clamp changer holds the wheel two ways, and the two ranges are different — which is why the spec sheet quotes both. Clamping on the \u003cem\u003eoutside\u003c\/em\u003e of the rim, the jaws cover 10\" to 24\". Clamping from the \u003cem\u003einside\u003c\/em\u003e — the method you use on wide, expensive or delicate alloy rims where you do not want a jaw touching the outer face — the range moves up to 12\" to 26\". The jaws take large plastic covers, which come with the machine.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe overall envelope is a 43\" maximum tire diameter, with the bead breaker able to work a wheel up to 15\" wide. Between them those two figures decide whether a given light-truck or oversize passenger tire is in scope. If most of what you turn is large-diameter alloy on low-profile rubber, the internal clamping range is the number to check first.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWhy the Bead Breaker and the Turntable Are Specified the Way They Are\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe bead breaker develops 6,924 lb of force through an anodized aluminium cylinder. The material choice is worth a sentence: a bead breaker cylinder spends its whole life cycling under load in a wet, salty, rubber-lubricant environment, and anodizing gives the bore a hard, corrosion-resistant surface instead of a painted one that eventually pits and starts chewing seals. It is the sort of component decision that shows up three winters later rather than on day one.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe turntable runs at 7 RPM. That sounds slow next to a hand tool and it is deliberate — a rim-clamp table trades speed for torque, because the moment that matters is the one where a hardened bead is being walked over the mount\/demount head and a fast table simply tears rubber. Low speed with high torque is what lets an operator watch the bead and stop.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eThe Beadblaster, and Why It Is Built In\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSeating a stiff or run-flat bead needs a large volume of air delivered instantly, and the usual workaround is a separate inflation tank parked next to the machine. The PTC300 has the Beadblaster system integrated into the column with the inflator box and gauge already fitted, so the tool is on the machine rather than across the bay. That removes the most common cause of a two-person tire job in a one-person shop.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eIndependent tire shops\u003c\/strong\u003e running mixed passenger and light-truck work, where the assist arm pays for itself in the first month of run-flats.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGeneral repair shops\u003c\/strong\u003e adding tire service in-house instead of subcontracting it.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDealership service departments\u003c\/strong\u003e that need consistent, rim-safe handling of alloy wheels under warranty.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSerious home and collector garages\u003c\/strong\u003e with real shop air, where damage-free mounting on expensive wheels matters more than throughput.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAtlas ships this one fairly complete, which is the reason to compare total cost rather than headline price:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLeft-hand bead pressing and bead lifting assist arm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMetal mount\/demount head with replaceable plastic inserts, plus multiple spare inserts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eColumn-mounted inflator box with gauge\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFilter \/ regulator \/ lubricator\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTire tool\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLube bucket with brush\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSet of large plastic jaw covers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePlastic cover for the bead breaker shovel\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAtlas stocks replacement parts and wear items for this range, which for a machine with consumable inserts and covers is the practical difference between a five-year machine and a ten-year one.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003ePlatinum PTC300\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRim types\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSteel, aluminium, alloy\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eExternal clamping range\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e10\" – 24\"\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eInternal clamping range\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e12\" – 26\"\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaximum tire diameter\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e43\"\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaximum wheel width (bead breaker)\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e15\"\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBead breaker force\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e6,924 lb\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTurntable speed\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e7 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAir requirement\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e120 – 145 PSI, external supply\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eOperating voltage\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e110 volt\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eShipping weight\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e620 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWarranty\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e2 years, parts only\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eCertification, Stated Plainly\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAtlas publishes no independent third-party safety listing for this machine, and we are not going to imply one exists. It is worth understanding what that does and does not mean. A third-party listing is a scheme in which an outside test laboratory audits both the design and the factory and the equipment then carries that body's label; a manufacturer's own declaration of conformity is a different document produced by the maker itself. This machine is sold on the manufacturer's specification.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFor most tire and general repair shops that has no practical consequence — wheel-service equipment is not usually covered by the listing schemes written for vehicle lifts. Where it can matter is with an insurer, a fleet or municipal contract, or a workplace inspector who asks for documentation on guarded rotating equipment and compressed-air systems. If you know you have a requirement like that, ask us before you order and we will get you whatever the manufacturer publishes, rather than you finding out after the crate is open.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eShipping and Delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis ships by freight to the lower 48 states. The freight cost is quoted live at checkout against your actual address rather than pulled from a table, so what you see is what this crate costs to your door on the day you order.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlan the unload before the truck arrives. The driver brings the shipment on a trailer and is not obliged to help get it off. A forklift, a dock, or a few people with an engine hoist and a plan all work; nothing works if the decision is made while the driver is standing there. Terminal pickup is the alternative — collect it yourself from the freight terminal with a truck and a trailer. Residential delivery is available and carries a residential fee.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThen inspect before you sign. Walk the crate with the driver, photograph anything crushed, punctured or shifted, and write what you found on the bill of lading before he leaves. A clean signature closes the door on a damage claim; a noted one keeps it open. It takes two minutes and it is the most valuable two minutes of the whole delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe PTC300 carries a 2 year parts-only warranty. \"Parts only\" is a phrase worth reading properly before you buy: the manufacturer supplies the replacement component, and the labour to diagnose and fit it is yours. On a machine like this that is a fair trade — the wear items are inserts, covers and seals that a competent technician changes on the bench — but it is not the same as an on-site labour warranty and it should not be assumed to be.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eOne rule matters more than any other if you ever need to claim: \u003cstrong\u003edo not disassemble the component first.\u003c\/strong\u003e Photograph the fault in place, note what the machine was doing when it happened, and call us before anything comes apart. A part that arrives stripped, with the failure evidence gone, is the most common reason a genuinely valid claim gets refused.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"divider\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-ew8kwapfc4\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/golden-bar.png?t=1681903157\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"kd-main-product-details-container\" class=\"kd-main-product-details-container\"\u003e \u003ch3 class=\"h3 accordion\"\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-product-details-continer kd-flex-row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-prouduct-details-item\"\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePlatinum Rim Clamp\/Swing Arm Tire Changer\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLeft Hand Assist Arm Included\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExtra-Large Star-Shaped Turntable\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAir operated jaws \u0026amp; bead breaker (external air supply required)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eElectric turntable\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMetal mount\/demount head w\/ replaceable plastic inserts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eColumn mounted inflator box w\/ gauge Included\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFilter\/Regulator\/Lubricator Included\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTire Tool Included\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLube Bucket with Brush Included\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSet of Large Plastic Jaw Covers Included\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePlastic Cover for Bead Breaker Shovel Included\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMultiple Replacement Plastic Inserts for M\/D Head Included\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBuilt in “Beadblaster”\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReplacement Parts \u0026amp; Wear Items Always in Stock\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e2 Year Parts Only Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"divider\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-ew8kwapfc4\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/golden-bar.png?t=1681903157\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"kd-main-product-spec-container\" class=\"kd-main-product-spec-container\"\u003e \u003ch3 class=\"h3 accordion\"\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-product-spec-continer kd-flex-row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-prouduct-spec-item\"\u003e \u003ctable style=\"width: 42.115%; height: 183.334px;\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 16.6667px;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 0%; height: 16.6667px;\" align=\"left\" width=\"50%\"\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 0%; height: 16.6667px;\" align=\"right\" width=\"50%\"\u003ePlatinum PTC300\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 16.6667px;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 0%; height: 16.6667px;\" align=\"left\" width=\"50%\"\u003eRims\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 0%; height: 16.6667px;\" align=\"right\" width=\"50%\"\u003eSteel, Aluminum, Alloy\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 16.6667px;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 0%; height: 16.6667px;\" align=\"left\" width=\"50%\"\u003eExternal Locking Rim Dimension\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 0%; height: 16.6667px;\" align=\"right\" width=\"50%\"\u003e10\" - 24\"\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 16.6667px;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 0%; height: 16.6667px;\" align=\"left\" width=\"50%\"\u003eInternal Locking Rim Dimension\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 0%; height: 16.6667px;\" align=\"right\" width=\"50%\"\u003e12\" - 26\"\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 16.6667px;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 0%; height: 16.6667px;\" align=\"left\" width=\"50%\"\u003eMaximum Tire Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 0%; height: 16.6667px;\" align=\"right\" width=\"50%\"\u003e43\"\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 16.6667px;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 0%; height: 16.6667px;\" align=\"left\" width=\"50%\"\u003eMaximum Wheel Width (Bead Breaker)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 0%; height: 16.6667px;\" align=\"right\" width=\"50%\"\u003e15\"\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 16.6667px;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 0%; height: 16.6667px;\" align=\"left\" width=\"50%\"\u003eTurntable Rotating Speed\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 0%; height: 16.6667px;\" align=\"right\" width=\"50%\"\u003e7 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 16.6667px;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 0%; height: 16.6667px;\" align=\"left\" width=\"50%\"\u003eBead Breaker\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 0%; height: 16.6667px;\" align=\"right\" width=\"50%\"\u003e6,924 LB.
