RC Series
Build A Full Shop With The RC Series
RC Wheel Balancers are the perfect complement to your RC Tire Changers. With core, proven technologies, they work together so aftermarket shops can perform tire services on OEM passenger car and light truck wheel fitments, and to generate additional revenue—all within their existing space and setup. The RC Series is part of the Coats full shop portfolio of technologies and services that keep people moving and technology turning.
Frequently Asked Questions
Both models include a 1-year parts and 6-month labor warranty, backed by the Coats Connect Service Network. Because RC balancers are set up by factory-trained Coats technicians rather than a third-party distributor, your warranty coverage starts on the right foot from day one. Full details are in the Coats Product Warranties document.
Each unit measures 51.1" wide x 58.4" deep x 70.3" high, one of the most compact footprints in the Coats balancer lineup. Combined with standard 115V power, that means an RC balancer can slot into an existing corner of your shop without bay reconfiguration or electrical work.
Yes. Coats Connect handles equipment setup and provides on-site training as part of the RC Series package, so your technicians are productive from the first day. Ongoing support includes field service, scheduled service, and OEM parts access, all dispatched from the coast-to-coast Coats network based in Nashville.
That's one of its core use cases. Because it plugs into standard 115V power with no added outlet, an RC balancer is an easy way to add overflow capacity during tire season alongside your primary balancer, then keep earning as a dedicated machine for quick, everyday OEM fitment work the rest of the year.
Beyond the included cone set, hub nut, pressure drum, calipers, and weight hammer, Coats offers the 2-Jaw Slide Nut Kit, a double-sided Truck Cone Kit (4.8"–6.8"), and the In Between Cone Set. Many accessories from the Coats ProBalance line are also compatible, so existing Coats shops can extend fitment coverage without duplicate purchases.
Both models handle wheel assemblies up to 130 lbs on a 40mm shaft, the same shaft diameter used across Coats premium balancers. That covers the vast majority of OEM passenger car, CUV, and light truck fitments coming through an aftermarket shop.
