The COATS® 6450-3D Heavy Duty Truck Wheel Balancer delivers professional-grade performance and precision for high-volume shops that service everything from passenger vehicles to heavy-duty trucks. With its 500 lb weight capacity and 52-inch tire diameter capacity, this balancer handles the largest commercial wheels with ease while maintaining exceptional accuracy for passenger car and light truck wheels. Powered by an advanced 1.5 HP direct drive motor and equipped with exclusive DCS™ (Dual Calibration Software), the 6450-3D operates like two balancers in one—automatically adjusting calibration parameters when switching between heavy-duty truck work and passenger car/light truck modes.
Based on the proven Coats 6401 platform and enhanced with advanced features from the shop-favorite 1250-3D balancer, the 6450-3D sets a new standard in commercial wheel balancing. One-touch 3-parameter automatic data entry eliminates manual input errors, while auto indexing automatically rotates the wheel to weight placement positions. The innovative Stop and Lock feature locks the spindle firmly in place for faster, more accurate weight installation. Add in laser-guided Tape-A-Weight® placement, and you'll never waste time guessing where adhesive weights belong.
Take complete control of heavy-duty balancing jobs with the COATS® 6450-3D. With the push of a button, you're in command of every aspect of the balance cycle. Load wheel parameters with a single touch and let the balancer do the rest. The auto indexing system automatically rotates the wheel to the second weight position, eliminating guesswork and reducing operator fatigue. The Stop and Lock feature brings the wheel to the first weight position and holds it securely until the weight is properly installed—no more fighting spinning wheels or misplaced weights.
The Model 6450-3D features a powerful AC Vector Drive motor with 1.5 HP that shaves a full 20 seconds off a typical 22.5-inch wheel spin cycle. In high-volume commercial shops, those seconds add up to hours of increased productivity every week. Combined with laser weight placement capability, you'll never spin another truck wheel wondering where that Tape-A-Weight® adhesive weight should be positioned. Every balance is faster, more accurate, and more profitable.
The 6450-3D is unlike other heavy-duty balancers that simply change the round-off setting when switching between truck and passenger car work. The COATS® 6450-3D stores and runs two independent sets of calibrations with exclusive DCS™ (Dual Calibration Software). This innovative system doesn't just adjust round-offs—it dynamically adjusts all balancing parameters based on the job at hand. When you switch from a 500 lb truck wheel to a passenger car tire, the 6450-3D automatically optimizes its calibration for maximum accuracy.
It's like having two separate balancers in one machine, without any of the compromises or trade-offs inherent to other heavy-duty offerings. With the addition of DCS™, the 6450 series is now the most accurate heavy-duty balancer in passenger car and light truck mode on the market today. This makes the 6450-3D ideal for municipal shops servicing everything from police cars to fire trucks to transit vehicles. It's also the perfect choice for front-line retail service operations handling delivery vehicles, tractor trailers, and everything in between.
DCS™ gives the 6450-3D the widest and most accurate balancing range in its class. The AC Vector Drive motor delivers unmatched speed and ease of use. And the legendary Coats® Direct Drive motor provides the durability and years of trouble-free service Coats equipment is known for. Together, these technologies make the 6450-3D the ultimate solution for shops that demand precision across the full spectrum of wheel sizes and weights.
Unmatched Versatility
The 6450-3D bridges the gap between passenger car balancers and dedicated truck balancers. With DCS™ Dual Calibration Software, you get two machines in one—with no compromise in accuracy or performance. Balance a 500 lb tractor-trailer wheel one minute and a compact car tire the next, with confidence that every balance meets OEM specifications.
Built for High-Volume Shops
Every feature on the 6450-3D is designed to save time and increase throughput. 3-parameter auto data entry eliminates manual input. Auto indexing eliminates manual wheel rotation. Stop and Lock eliminates fumbling with spinning wheels. The powerful 1.5 HP motor eliminates long spin cycles. Add it all up, and you're looking at significant time savings on every single wheel.
Legendary Coats Reliability
Built on the proven Coats Direct Drive motor platform that has powered thousands of balancers in shops around the world.
