It handles alloy and steel car and light truck wheels from 6" to 24" (external), tires up to 50" in diameter, and rims up to 10.5" wide. Coats designs and builds the RC 55 in La Vergne, Tennessee. It has a manual swing arm, a Duckhead mount/demount tool, and built-in bead sealing jets for tabletop inflation.
