Hennessy Industries has released the COATS Model 70X
Leverless Tire Changer, the newest addition to its popular X-series line of tire changers. In
addition to the release of the 70X Leverless, Hennessy introduced the COATS EL-X Express
Lane Inflation System as an optional feature for all COATS Rim Clamp tire changers.

According to the company, the
COATS 70X Leverless model features a unique leverless mount/demount head that
eliminates the use of manual tire tools, and an exclusive swing arm locking
mechanism that greatly reduces the operator effort required to change even the
most challenging applications. This latest addition to the Rim Clamp family
includes all the value-added features of the X-Series line, including Advanced
Clamp Positioning and COATS’ exclusive Oil Injection System.

“The
70X Leverless was designed to maximize capability and efficiency across a broad
range of tire and wheel fitments, while maintaining COATS’ rugged durability,
familiarity and ease of use,” said Kevin Keefe, Hennessy Industries’ vice
president of marketing. “Aside from its obvious capability enhancements, the
leverless system also delivers increased productivity compared to traditional
mount/demount systems.”

In
addition to the 70X, COATS has introduced the COATS EL-X Express Lane Inflation
System as an upgrade option for all COATS tire changers. Designed to reduce bay
times, the EL-X provides time savings of 20 percent or more on a four-tire
ticket compared to the conventional inflation process. In addition to the
productivity improvements, the EL-X system is highly accurate, inflating tires
to +/- 0.5 PSI of desired pressure in order to reduce TPMS-related comebacks.

To
illustrate the benefits of the EL-X Express Lane Inflation System, Hennessy
Industries’ newly redesigned website features a head-to-head demonstration video, pitting the COATS 70XEH3
Tire Changer against the COATS 70XEH3 with the EL-X Express Lane Inflation
System.
