Equip your shop with a complete tire service solution that combines legendary Coats reliability with cutting-edge technology. This powerful combo pairs the Coats® RC-45 Rim Clamp Tire Changer with the Coats® 1300 Direct Drive Wheel Balancer—two workhorses built to handle the demands of today's high-speed, high-volume general service and tire shops. From alloy wheels to light truck tires, this duo delivers precision, power, and longevity for everyday use, backed by decades of proven performance.
The RC-45 tire changer is designed for speed and efficiency, featuring an X-shaped turntable, air cylinder-operated rim clamping, and built-in bead sealing jets that streamline your workflow. Choose between 1.5HP air motor or 1HP electric motor drive systems to match your shop's setup. Meanwhile, the 1300 wheel balancer leverages Coats' exclusive Direct Drive™ technology—eliminating frequent calibration and ensuring superior balance results on wheels up to 150 lbs and 44" diameter. With 8 balancing modes, Static-On-Screen® display, and Behind the Spoke weight placement, this balancer delivers faster, cleaner results that keep customers satisfied.
The Coats® RC Series is built upon the standards of the legendary Coats Rim Clamp® tire changers, updated for the demands of modern tire service. With proven performance through decades of rigorous testing, the RC-45 is engineered from strong, reliable components that offer more power and longevity for everyday use. Whether you're servicing alloy and steel wheels or car and light truck tires, this machine executes day after day with the reliability your shop not only demands, but deserves.
Designed for high-speed, general service repair shops, the RC-45 features four air cylinder-operated rim clamps that securely grip wheels from 10" to 21" external diameter (or 12" to 24" internal). The foot-controlled bead loosening system handles tires up to 10.5" wide, while the manual swing arm mount/demount tool with manual tool head offset adjustment ensures proper fit and reduces the risk of damage. The high-torque X-shaped turntable provides rigid perimeter support, and conveniently placed foot pedals give you precise control over every step—from bead loosening to inflation.
The RC-45's tabletop inflation system with built-in bead sealing jets quickly seals beads while you inflate, speeding up your workflow. The vertical 3.4-gallon bead seating reservoir in the tower ensures you've got the air volume you need, and the 0-60 psi inflation gauge with pressure limiter provides easy, accurate inflation that ensures technician safety and prevents TPMS-related comebacks. Add optional wheel protection accessories—including plastic inserts for the metal Duckhead® tool, clamp socks, and bead loosener booties—to prevent metal-to-metal contact that can scratch or mar wheels.
The Coats® 1300 Direct Drive Wheel Balancer combines legendary reliability with state-of-the-art capability. This balancer leverages Coats' exclusive Direct Drive™ system, where the motor and spindle are combined into a single, pre-balanced assembly that always stays calibrated to zero. This eliminates the need for frequent calibration and delivers a superior balance result every time—getting the job done right the first time, every time.
The 1300 handles wheels from 8" to 30" diameter, 2" to 20" width, and supports tires up to 44" diameter and 150 lbs. With 8 balancing modes and an intuitive LED interface, it offers the flexibility to tackle any wheel that rolls through your door. Automatic distance/diameter data entry and 0.01 oz resolution in round-off mode ensure precision and speed. Available in 220v single-phase or three-phase configurations, the 1300 adapts to your shop's electrical setup.
Powered by Direct Drive™: The motor and spindle are combined into a single, pre-balanced assembly that always stays calibrated to zero. This eliminates the need for frequent calibration and delivers a superior balance result with exceptional accuracy.
Static-On-Screen®: An exclusive Coats feature that simultaneously displays both static and dynamic unbalance data. This provides a final quality check to identify any excess residual static unbalance—a leading cause of vibration complaints—so you can ensure a perfect balance before the wheel leaves the bay.
Behind the Spoke: Hides adhesive wheel weights behind the spoke for a clean look on alloy wheels. This keeps the weights hidden from view, so you can balance more complex wheel designs faster and easier than ever before while maintaining a clean look on custom wheels for maximum customer satisfaction.
Direct Tape-A-Weight® Measurement: Helps pinpoint the correct Tape-A-Weight location in alloy balancing modes, improving balancing accuracy and results. Get precise adhesive weight placement every time for better finishes and happier customers.
This combo is engineered for shops that demand speed, accuracy, and reliability without compromise. The RC-45 gives you the power and control to mount and demount tires quickly and safely, while the 1300 ensures every wheel leaves your shop perfectly balanced—the first time, every time. Together, they streamline your tire service workflow, reduce comebacks, and maximize customer satisfaction.
Whether you're running a high-volume tire shop, a general repair facility, or a specialty wheel and tire boutique, the Coats® RC-45 & 1300 combo delivers the performance, durability, and ease of use you need to stay competitive. With optional wheel protection accessories, flexible power options, and Coats' legendary support, this is the tire service solution that will serve your shop for years to come.
