COATS(r) 7000 SERIES TIRE CHANGERS INCREASE SPEED AND ACCURACY

Upgrades will improve efficiency and ease-of-use for shops  

 

LA VERGNE, Tenn. - Hennessy Industries, Inc. has recently re-launched
its most popular line of Rim Clamp(r) tire changers, the COATS(r) 7000
series. The new and improved series features several major upgrades
designed to increase application coverage and decrease floor-to-floor
times. The COATS 7000 series tire changers will be on display at
Hennessy Industries' booth (#46055) at SEMA.

The new COATS 7000 series line includes the following upgrades:

*	Grip-Max(tm) Clamps: provide integrated protection and twice the
slip resistance of conventional clamp covers.
*	Oil injector system: a huge, clear reservoir replaces a
conventional filter-lubricator. Holds approximately one year's worth of
oil, which is actively injected into the system with every tire change.
Radically reduces downtime due to lack of preventive maintenance.
*	Three-way powered bead-loosening system: available on 7060
models, this new bead-loosening system offers easy-to-use powered in-
and out-control, plus a neutral position for increased control and
productivity.
*	Duckhead(tm) Mounted Bead Roller: works in tandem with the Robo
Arm(tm) to keep the toughest tire beads in the drop-center during tire
mounting.
*	Advanced clamp positioning system: enables clamps to be preset
in any position between 6 inches and 22 inches when equipped with
standard clamps. Drastically improves ease of clamping, especially with
large, heavy wheels. Minimizes the chances of "pinching" a soft sidewall
or nicking a wheel during clamping.
*	Auxiliary bead-sealing device: quickly and efficiently seals
even the most stubborn of beads using your tire changer's surge tank.
Easily attaches to 50-, 70-, and APX series tire changers. Always
charged and ready, this device eliminates the need for a standalone
bead-sealing unit.
*	Improved Robo Arm(tm): features a multitude of upgrades
including longer reach for wheels up to 28 inches and new design
features that provide enhanced grip and power for the toughest of
applications.

COATS(r) 7000 series tire changers include the 7060 AX, 7060 EX and 7665
AX models. All three models are made with super-tough fiber-reinforced
composite air cylinders, which virtually never wear out, feature extra
support blocks on the bead looseners for added protection and
durability, and are built with legendary Coats toughness and reliability
for use in high-volume shops.
