The APEX AT26 is engineered for technicians and serious enthusiasts who demand reliable performance when working with today’s low-profile, stiff-sidewall, and larger-diameter tire and wheel assemblies. It delivers the core capability needed to mount and demount modern tires efficiently, without unnecessary complexity or inflated cost.
Whether you operate a one- or two-bay shop, support track vehicles, or are building a serious home garage, the AT26 provides consistent, repeatable results through a straightforward, durable design focused on real-world tire service.
The AT26 features a high-torque electric turntable drive that delivers smooth, controlled rotation in both directions. Reversible operation allows technicians to make immediate adjustments during mounting and demounting, reducing bead stress and helping prevent damage to expensive wheels.
This level of control is especially important when working with performance tires and modern sidewall constructions that require precision and consistency rather than abrupt or inconsistent movement.
A rigid swing-arm tower combined with a spring-assisted tool shaft ensures accurate, repeatable tool-head positioning with minimal deflection. This structural stability improves consistency from wheel to wheel and reduces the risk of cosmetic damage when servicing painted, machined, or clear-coated rims.
The result is a stable, predictable platform that lets technicians focus on the job instead of compensating for machine movement.
The AT26 comes equipped with both a hardened steel mount/demount head for durability and a polymer head for delicate finishes. Plastic clamp covers and protective components are included as standard, eliminating the need for additional upgrades to safely service premium wheels.
This built-in protection makes the AT26 a practical solution for shops regularly handling performance, custom, and OEM alloy wheels.
The AT26 is designed around long-life components that reduce maintenance and maximize uptime. A brushless AC motor delivers consistent power with reduced heat and wear, while a sealed, maintenance-free gearbox ensures smooth operation over years of daily use.
Backed by BendPak’s U.S.-based technical support and industry-leading warranty structure, the AT26 provides long-term confidence well beyond the initial purchase.
The APEX AT26 delivers true shop-level performance in a streamlined package built for efficiency, reliability, and value. It is the ideal choice for businesses and serious users who want professional results without overcommitting to unnecessary complexity or industrial pricing.

The APEX AB28 is built for shops and serious garages that need accurate, vibration-free balance results without paying for unnecessary complexity. It delivers dependable performance for everyday wheel balancing while keeping operation fast, straightforward, and efficient.
Designed for passenger vehicles, light trucks, and modern performance wheels, the AB28 is a practical fit for one- to three-bay shops, growing service operations, and side-hustle businesses that want professional results without excessive overhead.
At the core of the AB28 is advanced digital sensor technology designed to provide repeatable, accurate balance readings down to hundredths of an ounce. Its direct-axis drive system promotes smooth, vibration-free rotation, allowing the machine to measure imbalance accurately without unwanted distortion or noise.
Fast cycle times help keep work moving efficiently, while clear visual guidance helps technicians place weights correctly the first time, reducing rework and improving overall customer satisfaction.
The AB28 uses high-precision quartz piezoelectric load sensors to measure imbalance forces in multiple directions at the same time. By detecting longitudinal, transverse, and shear forces simultaneously, the system delivers consistent accuracy across a broad range of wheel and tire combinations.
This multi-axis sensing capability is especially valuable when balancing modern alloy, low-profile, and performance wheels, where even small inaccuracies can lead to noticeable vibration on the road.
Every aspect of the AB28 is designed to improve day-to-day workflow. Its intuitive graphic interface guides technicians through wheel data entry and balancing procedures quickly and clearly. Bright LED indicators assist with precise weight placement, making clip-on, tape, split, and behind-the-spoke applications easier and more efficient.
Automatic braking stops and holds the wheel at the correct position for weight placement, reducing guesswork and helping technicians complete the job faster.
The AB28 includes a no-mar Quick-Nut system and a comprehensive cone package to secure wheels quickly while helping protect expensive finishes. Rubber-lined components and precision-machined mounting surfaces help reduce the risk of cosmetic damage during setup and removal.
That added protection makes the AB28 a strong choice for shops that regularly service custom, performance, and OE alloy wheels.
Heavy-duty construction, precision-machined components, and a rigid balancer shaft provide the stability needed for daily use and long service life. Low operating speeds help reduce wear on internal components while still maintaining fast balance cycles.
Backed by BendPak’s U.S.-based technical support and established warranty structure, the AB28 gives shops added confidence when investing in dependable balancing equipment.
The APEX AB28 delivers the accuracy, speed, and reliability shops need in a streamlined, value-focused package. It is an ideal choice for businesses that want professional-grade balancing results without overpaying for features that add complexity without improving real-world performance.
