Coats RC-55 Rim Clamp Tire Changer:

The Coats RC-55 is designed for professional tire shops and automotive repair facilities that need dependable tire mounting and demounting capabilities. Its swing-arm design and four air-operated rim clamps provide secure wheel positioning, while the included RC Robo-Arm® helper device assists with challenging tire applications.

The RC-55 accommodates external rim diameters from 6" to 24" and tires up to 50" in diameter. Conveniently positioned foot pedals allow technicians to control key tire changing functions, while the built-in bead sealing jets assist with tire inflation and bead seating.

RC Robo-Arm® Helper Device:

The RC Robo-Arm® helps technicians maintain proper tire bead positioning during mounting and demounting. This is especially beneficial when working with low-profile tires, run-flat tires, and other stiff-sidewall applications where additional bead handling assistance can improve service efficiency.

By helping press the tire bead into the wheel's drop center, the Robo-Arm® reduces the manual effort required for challenging tire assemblies and provides an important advantage over basic rim clamp tire changers without a helper device.

Manual Swing Arm and Coats Duckhead® Tool:

The RC-55 uses a manual swing arm that allows technicians to position the Coats Duckhead® mount/demount tool against the wheel rim. Proper positioning helps guide the tire bead during mounting and demounting while reducing the risk of wheel damage when the equipment is used correctly.

The swing-arm design provides familiar operation for technicians and makes the RC-55 a practical choice for everyday passenger car and light truck tire service.

Air-Powered or Electric-Powered RC-55:

The RC-55 is available in air-powered and electric-powered configurations to accommodate different shop requirements.

Air-Powered RC-55 (85609950): Uses a pneumatic drive system for wheel rotation and is designed for facilities with a suitable compressed air supply.

Electric RC-55 (8560995001): Uses an electric drive motor for wheel rotation while retaining pneumatic operation for other tire changing functions. Compressed air is still required.

Both configurations include the RC Robo-Arm® helper device and are paired with the Coats 1300-2D Direct Drive Wheel Balancer in this combination package.

Coats 1300-2D Direct Drive Wheel Balancer:

The Coats 1300-2D is designed for automotive service facilities that want dependable computerized wheel balancing with the durability of Coats Direct Drive technology. Combining automatic 2D data entry, Static-on-Screen®, eight balancing modes, and an intuitive LED interface, the 1300 provides the essential features needed for professional passenger car and light truck wheel balancing.

The 1300 accommodates rim diameters from 8" to 30", rim widths from 2" to 20", and tire assemblies up to 44" in diameter. Its straightforward operation makes it a practical choice for independent repair shops, tire dealers, and automotive service facilities.

Coats Direct Drive Technology:

The Coats 1300 features a Direct Drive system that integrates the motor and spindle into a single factory pre-balanced assembly. Unlike conventional belt-driven wheel balancers, this design eliminates belts and pulleys from the drive system and is engineered to deliver consistent balancing performance.

Coats backs the Direct Drive motor with a 10-year warranty, providing additional confidence in the long-term durability of the balancer's core drive system.

2D Automatic Data Entry:

The 1300 automatically measures wheel distance and diameter during setup, reducing manual measurements and helping minimize technician input errors. Rim width is entered separately by the technician.

Automatic 2D data entry helps simplify everyday wheel balancing and provides a practical balance between professional measurement capabilities and straightforward operation.

Static-on-Screen®:

Static-on-Screen® simultaneously displays static and dynamic unbalance information, allowing technicians to evaluate both conditions during the balancing process. This helps identify residual static imbalance that may otherwise be overlooked when focusing only on dynamic correction.

Combined with Coats Direct Drive technology, Static-on-Screen® supports consistent and dependable balancing results for common automotive applications.

8 Balancing Modes:

The 1300 provides eight balancing modes to accommodate a variety of wheel configurations and corrective weight placement requirements. This flexibility helps technicians service different passenger car, SUV, and light truck wheel assemblies.

Behind-the-Spoke Mode allows adhesive wheel weights to be concealed behind wheel spokes for a cleaner appearance on alloy and custom wheels, while Match Mode provides additional tire and wheel optimization capabilities.

Easy-to-Use LED Interface:

The 1300 features a straightforward LED interface designed to simplify everyday wheel balancing. Clear indicators and familiar controls help technicians navigate balancing functions without the complexity of advanced diagnostic systems.

For independent automotive service shops and tire dealers, the intuitive interface helps reduce training requirements and supports efficient wheel balancing operations.

Single-Phase or Three-Phase Power Options:

The Coats 1300-2D is available in two electrical configurations to accommodate different shop installations.

220V Single-Phase (80013002D): Suitable for facilities equipped with the appropriate single-phase electrical service.

220V Three-Phase (80013002D01): Designed for facilities with compatible three-phase electrical service.

Customers should verify available electrical service and installation requirements before selecting their wheel balancer configuration.

Light Truck Wheel Balancing Accessories:

The 1300 includes a standard Light Truck D Cone for applicable wheel mounting applications. Shops servicing larger light truck wheels with oversized center bores may benefit from the optional Coats Light Truck Cone Kit (8113277C).

This optional kit expands the range of compatible wheel mounting applications and can be selected when purchasing the combination package.
