APEX AT26 and AB28 Tire Changer and Wheel Balancer Combo

APEX AT26 and AB28 Combo for Balanced Shop Capability

The APEX AT26 and AB28 Tire Changer and Wheel Balancer Combo pairs a straightforward swing arm tire changer with a dedicated standalone wheel balancer. It is designed for shops that want a capable tire changer but prefer to step up from compact post-mount balancing to the faster, more complete workflow of the AB28.

This package is the right middle ground for buyers who do not need the AT26A assist tower but do want a stronger balancing station. The AT26 handles everyday mounting and demounting with high-torque turntable control, bead breaking power, and wheel protection features, while the AB28 adds motorized balancing, digital sensor accuracy, LED weight placement guidance, and automatic braking for a more efficient finish.

AT26 Tire Changer Keeps the Mounting Workflow Simple

The AT26 gives technicians a focused, reliable platform for passenger car and light-duty tire service. Its swing arm design, spring-assisted tool shaft, reversible electric turntable, and high-power bead breaker support the essential steps of tire mounting and demounting without adding assist-tower complexity.

For shops that mainly handle everyday tire work, the AT26 is a clean choice. It includes hardened steel and polymer mount and demount heads, plastic clamp covers, and wheel protection components to help technicians work efficiently around a wide range of wheel finishes and tire setups.

AB28 Wheel Balancer Adds Speed, Accuracy, and Standalone Control

The AB28 is the reason this combo steps above the compact AB24M packages. It uses advanced digital sensor technology, direct-axis drive, quartz piezoelectric load sensors, LED weight placement indicators, and balance accuracy down to hundredths of an ounce to support fast, repeatable results.

Because the AB28 is a dedicated standalone balancer, it is better suited for shops that expect more regular balancing work or want a more complete balancing station. Automatic wheel braking, a no-mar Quick-Nut mounting system, and a comprehensive cone package help make the balancing process cleaner, faster, and easier to repeat.

A Strong Combo When Balancing Throughput Matters More Than Assist Support

The AT26 and AB28 combo is built for buyers who want to invest more heavily in balancing performance while keeping the tire changer side simple and cost-conscious. That makes it a strong choice for general repair shops, tire service add-ons, and garages that balance enough wheels to justify a dedicated machine.

Instead of buying separate machines one at a time, this package gives the shop a matched APEX changer and balancer setup with a clear workflow: mount or demount the tire on the AT26, then finish the assembly on the AB28 with digital measurement and guided weight placement. It is a practical way to build a more complete wheel service bay with bundled value built in.
