The APEX AT26A is engineered for professional shops and serious home garages that regularly service modern wheels and tires. From low-profile performance tires to larger light-truck assemblies, it delivers the power, rigidity, and control needed to work efficiently while protecting high-value wheels.
This is not hobby-grade equipment. Built to BendPak’s proven engineering standards, the AT26A features heavy-duty construction, precision controls, and durable components designed for consistent, repeatable performance. It’s an ideal solution for growing shops, side businesses, trackside operations, and performance-focused garages that want true commercial capability without stepping into full industrial pricing.
At the core of the AT26A is a high-torque electric turntable drive that delivers smooth, controlled rotation in both directions. Reversible operation allows technicians to make real-time adjustments during mounting and demounting, reducing bead stress and minimizing the risk of tire or wheel damage.
Unlike entry-level machines that rely on abrupt or inconsistent motion, the AT26A provides steady, predictable rotation. This allows the tire bead to move naturally, making it significantly easier to handle stiff sidewalls, run-flat tires, and modern performance applications that require a more controlled approach.
Today’s tires are heavier, stiffer, and more complex than ever. The AT26A addresses this with a fully integrated pneumatic assist tower included as standard equipment.
This system stabilizes the tire, keeps beads positioned in the drop center, and applies controlled leverage during mounting and demounting. The result is faster workflow, improved consistency, enhanced safety, and significantly reduced physical strain during long service days.
Modern wheels demand careful handling, and the AT26A is built to protect them at every step. It includes both a hardened steel mount/demount head for durability and a polymer head for delicate finishes.
Protective features such as plastic clamp covers and integrated safeguards come standard—not as add-ons—allowing technicians to confidently service painted, powder-coated, machined, and clear-coated wheels without risking cosmetic damage.
The AT26A is designed with longevity in mind. A brushless AC motor provides consistent power while reducing maintenance requirements. The sealed, maintenance-free gearbox ensures smooth, reliable operation, while premium pneumatic components minimize vibration, resist corrosion, and maintain performance under daily use.
This durable design helps reduce downtime, extend service life, and keep your total cost of ownership predictable.
The AT26A is backed by BendPak’s U.S.-based customer service, technical support, and industry-leading warranty coverage. That means dependable parts availability, knowledgeable support when you need it, and long-term backing that protects your investment well beyond the initial purchase.
