Why Choose the Coats RC-45?

The Coats RC-45 is a practical choice for general automotive repair and tire service shops that need a dependable professional rim clamp tire changer without the additional assist-arm features of more advanced models. Its wide 6" to 24" external clamping range, 50" maximum tire capacity, compact footprint, and choice of air or electric drive make it a versatile tire changer for everyday passenger car and light truck service.

For shops servicing more low-profile and difficult tire assemblies, consider the Coats RC-55 Rim Clamp Tire Changer, which adds Coats' RC Robo-Arm® assist system.
