Coats RC 55 Electric Rim Clamp Tire Changer with Robo-Arm (115V)

The Coats RC 55 Electric is a compact rim clamp tire changer for aftermarket shops with limited space. It runs on standard 115V power, so no extra outlet is required. It comes with a Robo-Arm helper system for run-flat and low-profile tires. 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.

Key Features:

• Robo-Arm helper system: Presses directly on the tire bead to create a bead lock, pushing the bead into the drop center during mounting. It helps with the run-flat and low-profile tires common on today's OEM vehicles.
• 115V electric drive: 1.5 HP motor, 60 Hz, 15 amp.
• Rim Clamp® design: Four air-cylinder-operated clamps hold the wheel securely by the rim.
• Manual swing arm: Technicians can move the tool head as needed for better access.
• Duckhead® mount/demount tool: Comes standard. It rests on the rim to guide the bead off during demounting and back on during mounting.
• Built-in bead sealing jets: Tabletop inflation with a 3.4-gallon bead seating system.
