Coats 525 Wheel Lift for 1300/1400/1500/1600 Balancers
The Coats 525 Wheel Lift is built for shops running Coats 1300, 1400, 1500, and 1600 Direct Drive wheel balancers, and it solves the problem every tech complains about by the end of a shift: hoisting heavy wheels onto the balancer shaft by hand, over and over. That's how backs and shoulders wear down, and it's how rims get dinged against the shaft on the way up. The 525 takes that lifting motion off your body entirely.
It's an air-powered scissor lift, so you're not fighting a manual jack or walking across the bay to grab a floor jack. Hook it to your shop air and the platform rises smoothly under the wheel. No cranking, no hydraulic pump handle, no guessing whether you've got it high enough before you start guiding the wheel onto the shaft.
The sliding platform is what makes it work in a real bay. You position the wheel, lift, then slide it into alignment with the shaft without repositioning your feet or fighting the wheel's weight sideways. It carries up to 154 lbs (70 kg), which covers everything from passenger tires to the heavier truck and SUV wheels that show up on a busy day.
Order it from us and you're not stuck hunting down a replacement part six months from now. We stock parts for the Coats balancer accessory line and back it up with support you can actually reach by phone.

Applications
The 525 fits into any bay already running a Coats Direct Drive balancer, but it earns its keep fastest in a few specific setups.
Running a balancer all day means loading wheels nonstop. The lift keeps that repetitive motion off your techs so they last through a full shift without wearing down.
Heavier wheels are where a manual lift costs you the most time and strain. The 525 handles those loads without extra effort from your crew.
If your shop already runs a 1300, 1400, 1500, or 1600 balancer, this lift bolts into that existing setup with no retrofit guesswork.
Fewer manual lifts means fewer strain injuries on record over a year of daily use, which matters when you're staffing a busy floor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the 525 work with my Coats balancer?
It's built specifically for the Coats 1300, 1400, 1500, and 1600 Direct Drive wheel balancers. If your shop runs one of those four models, it fits without any adapter or retrofit work.
How much weight can it lift?
It's rated for up to 154 lbs (70 kg), which covers standard passenger wheels along with heavier truck and SUV wheels. That's enough range for most general service and tire shop work.
What does it run on? Do I need extra equipment?
It's powered by compressed shop air, so if your bay already has an air line, you're set. There's no separate hydraulic pump or electrical hookup required to operate the lift.
How high does the platform go?
The scissor lift raises the platform up to 19 inches (483 mm), which is enough clearance to bring most wheels level with the balancer shaft without extra maneuvering underneath.
Is it heavy to move around the shop?
The unit itself weighs 85 lbs (38.5 kg). It's substantial enough to stay stable under load, but one tech can still reposition it around a bay without needing a second set of hands.
What's covered under the warranty?
As a Coats balancer accessory, it carries 1 year of parts coverage. There's no labor warranty included in that category, so factor install time into your own service planning.
Is this for tire changing or wheel balancing?
This is a wheel balancer accessory, not a tire changer part. It's built to lift and position wheels onto the shaft of your Coats 1300, 1400, 1500, or 1600 balancer for spin-balancing, not to mount or dismount tires.
Can I get replacement parts later if something wears out?
Yes. We stock parts for the Coats balancer accessory line, so if a component needs replacing down the road, you're not stuck sourcing it on your own. Call (855) 498-2147 and we'll help track it down.
Does the sliding platform need to be adjusted for different wheel sizes?
The platform slides to help you position wheels of different sizes under the shaft without repositioning your stance, covering the range up to its 154 lb (70 kg) capacity without a separate adjustment procedure.
