About Coats Wheel Balancers


Shop owners want balancers that are easy for operators to use. They want balancers that offer durability and accuracy. And they want to make sure that when the customer drives off, he doesn't come back with a problem.

COATS unique direct drive motor eliminates the potential for belt wear or electronic "noise" that can create inaccurate readings. And new computer technology and sensible ergonomic design mean easier operation than ever--even as wheel combinations get more complex and difficult to balance.

COATS balancers are used in applications ranging from small one-bay shops to NASCAR garages.
