Coats relaunches its RC Series

American manufacturer Coats has announced the return of its RC Series, combining its RC tire changer lineup with the new RC 450 and RC 550 wheel balancers. These two new models replace the 1185 and 885 balancers, respectively.

The RC tire mounting and demounting machines remain part of the lineup and now feature an updated appearance. Built on familiar Coats rim-clamp and swing-arm designs, they provide technicians with an intuitive setup for routine tire service.

The new RC 450 and RC 550 balancers add 115V balancing capability to the same series, allowing technicians to move more seamlessly from tire changing to wheel balancing within a more integrated workflow.
