Coats 80C Center Clamp Tire Changer

The Coats 80C Center Clamp Tire Changer is a professional tire changer designed for high-volume tire shops, dealerships, repair facilities, and automotive service centers that regularly service today's low-profile, run-flat, and other challenging tire assemblies. Built around Coats' heavy-duty center-clamp platform, the 80C combines secure wheel clamping with Robo-Arm®, RoboRoller®, hand-controlled bead loosening, and an Auxiliary Bead Sealer to provide technicians with the control and assistance needed for demanding tire service.

The center-clamp design securely holds the wheel through the center bore while helping minimize metal-to-metal contact with the rim. With capacity for wheels from 12" to 30", tires up to 50" in diameter, and rims up to 15" wide, the Coats 80C provides excellent versatility for passenger car and light truck applications while offering a wheel-friendly alternative to traditional four-clamp rim-clamp tire changers.

• Center-Clamp Wheel System: The easy-to-use center locking mechanism securely holds the wheel through its center bore while helping minimize metal-to-metal contact with the rim.
• Robo-Arm® Helper System: Provides up to 18" of automated vertical stroke to help technicians control difficult tire beads and maintain the bead in the drop center during mounting and demounting.

Center-Clamp Design:

Unlike a traditional rim-clamp tire changer that secures the wheel with multiple clamps around the rim, the Coats 80C uses a center locking mechanism to secure the wheel through its center bore. The simple center-clamp design helps minimize metal-to-metal contact with the wheel while providing a secure setup for servicing valuable alloy, custom, and other specialty wheels.

Why Choose the Coats 80C?

The Coats 80C is an excellent choice for high-volume professional tire shops that want the wheel protection and straightforward operation of a center-clamp tire changer combined with advanced technician-assist features. Robo-Arm® and RoboRoller® provide additional control over difficult tire beads, helping technicians service low-profile, run-flat, and other challenging tire assemblies more efficiently.

The hand-controlled bead loosener provides increased visibility and precise control, while the Auxiliary Bead Sealer concentrates airflow where it is needed to help seat difficult tire beads. Combined with its 12" to 30" wheel capacity, heavy-duty chassis, and choice of air or electric drive, the 80C is built for demanding professional tire-service environments.

For shops that want the capabilities of the 80C with the added convenience of leverless tire changing, consider the Coats 90C Center Clamp Tire Changer. The 90C builds on the center-clamp platform with Coats' Leverless Duckhead® mount/demount system.
