Overview
The Coats 1600 Light Duty Wheel Balancer combines direct drive technology with an intuitive touchscreen interface to deliver professional-grade wheel balancing for cars and light trucks. Featuring ProBalance Technology that minimizes both static and couple unbalance, this balancer handles wheel diameters from 8" to 30" and tire weights up to 160 lbs. The laser-guided operation system pinpoints exact weight location both radially and axially, while the Speed Thread pedal system streamlines hub nut threading. With automatic 3D data entry for distance, diameter, and width dimensions, the 1600 eliminates technician error and accelerates the balancing process for high-volume tire shops.
