COATS 85607986 GRIP-MAX Plus Extended Clamps Overview

You've got a wide bay of work rolling through, and the standard clamps that came with your changer top out before you get to the big assemblies.

They stretch your grip out to oversized rims that standard clamps can't reach, so you handle the small stuff and the wide assemblies on the same machine without swapping hardware mid-shift.

These GRIP-MAX Plus clamps carry integrated plastic protectors, so you're gripping hard on the rim while keeping the finish clean. No scratched wheels, no unhappy customers. They're a direct fit for X-Series, RC Series, and GTS Series tire changers, and the laminated steel build is made to keep taking the load service after service.
