Coats 9028E Tilt Back Tire Changer
Wheels keep getting bigger, more expensive, and harder to service without scratching them. The Coats 9028E is built for that reality. This tilt back tire changer clamps wheels externally up to 28 inches, so you can take on the custom alloy and oversized wheel work walking into your bay every week without turning it away. It's a rim clamp machine sized for single piece automotive and most light truck tire and wheel assemblies.
The tilt back tower is the headline. It's angled to keep out of your way on second bead removal, and it now tilts farther for even more clearance. Pair that with the power devices, power taper rollers, a pneumatic drop center, and swing in rollers, and the machine handles 90% of the muscle on even the toughest tires. You stay focused on turning bays faster instead of fighting the rubber.
If you've been running a single tower tire changing machine that bogs down on low profile and run flat work, this is the upgrade that ends that frustration. The Coats 9028E is a coats heavy duty tire changer that earns its footprint. And when you buy this coats tire changer for sale from Garage Supply Guys, replacement parts and direct support are a phone call away, so a down machine doesn't stay down.

Installation & Setup
This is electric tire changer machine equipment, so plan the utilities before delivery day. The 9028E needs a 30 amp, 120 volt circuit with a 125V, 30A twist-lock receptacle. The ground connection has to be solid, less than 1 ohm between ground and building ground, and a licensed electrician should handle any changes to your power source before the unit gets plugged in.
On the air side, the air/electric model wants a 5 CFM source at 150 PSI, with an operating range of 125 PSI to 175 PSI at the machine. There's a 1/4 inch pipe thread male fitting on the right rear for an easy hookup, and a 1/4 inch ID hose or pipe gets you connected. Pick a spot that's well lit, easy to clean, and clear of bystanders and customers. Give yourself room to work safely on both sides of the wheel.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size wheels can the 9028E handle?
It clamps wheels externally up to 28 inches, with a clamp opening range of 1 inch to 16 inches. For wheels above 26 inches in diameter, you install the included clamp extensions. It's built for single piece automotive and most light truck tire and wheel assemblies.
What air supply does this machine need?
The air/electric model needs a 5 CFM air source at 150 PSI. The operating pressure range is 125 PSI to 175 PSI at the machine. It comes with a 1/4 inch pipe thread male fitting on the right rear, and a 1/4 inch ID hose or pipe connects it.
What are the electrical requirements?
Electric models require a 30 amp, 120 volt circuit with a 125V, 30A twist-lock receptacle. The ground connection must be solid, less than 1 ohm between ground and building ground. Have a licensed electrician make any power source changes before plugging in.
Can it service custom alloy and performance wheels?
Yes. The tilt back tower and external clamping up to 28 inches let you service custom alloy and oversized wheels with full protection. The machine also handles run-flat, low profile, and asymmetrical hump wheels, though that work should be done by techs trained on custom wheels.
How does the tilt back tower help?
The tower is angled so it stays out of your way during second bead removal, and it tilts farther than before for added clearance. Combined with the power taper rollers, pneumatic drop center, and swing-in rollers, the machine handles 90% of the effort on tough tires.
What is the pressure limiter and how does it work?
The pressure limiter is set at 60 PSI and cycles the air flow to help prevent over inflation. It keeps most car and light truck tires from inflating beyond 60 PSI. Beads should never be seated above 40 PSI, and any inflation above 60 PSI must be done in a safety cage.
Does it ship free, and how is it delivered?
Yes, it ships free to the lower 48. This is freight equipment, so our team coordinates the shipment and scheduling. Contact us before ordering if you need a delivery window, residential delivery, or liftgate service so we can confirm any accessorial charges.
