The Coats® 1185 Wheel Balancer will help take your shop to the next level. This advanced wheel balancer is engineered for light to medium duty environments, yet delivers features you typically find only on much larger, more elaborate machines. Featuring a color LCD video display, bottom dead center laser for precise weight placement guidance, and live position indexing navigation, the 1185 combines cutting-edge technology with straightforward operation. Capable of handling tires up to 38" in diameter and rim widths from 2" to 16", this versatile balancer accommodates a wide range of wheel sizes with ease.
Laser Line Weight Placement Guidance makes weight positioning faster and more accurate than ever. The easily visible laser line at 6 o'clock bottom center helps operators place weights exactly where they are needed, eliminating guesswork and reducing the chance of error. This feature significantly speeds up the balancing process while improving precision, letting your technicians move through jobs with confidence and efficiency.
The vivid color LCD display provides crystal-clear, at-a-glance information that alerts the operator to imbalance locations and identifies the optimal placement for tape-on or clip weights. Combined with SoftTouch key input, the interface is both modern and user-friendly, reducing training time and helping technicians work more efficiently. The display doesn't just show numbers—it visually guides your team through each balancing step.
Live Position Indexing Guidance delivers real-time audio and graphics-based notifications that alert the operator precisely when and where weight placement is needed. Paired with automatic data entry via the A & D arm and an automatic braking system, the 1185 minimizes manual input and streamlines the workflow. The unit even features auto start on hood closed, letting your technicians focus on the work instead of the controls.
The Coats 1185 arrives ready to work, with a complete accessory package that includes four mounting cones (8112098 Small A Cone, 8112099 Medium B Cone, 8112100 Large C Cone, and 8112101 Light Truck D Cone), a premium wheel weight hammer, calipers, hub nut, small pressure drum with ring, and a short cone. The balancer operates on standard 110V, 1 phase, 50/60 Hz power at 3 amps, making it compatible with most shop electrical setups. With compact dimensions of 36.96" x 39.6" x 52.32" and a shipping weight of 242 lbs., this unit fits well in shops with limited space while delivering professional-grade performance.
