COATS | Offset Truck Wheel Adapter | 1.125 in / 28mm ID

offset truck wheel adapter/backing plate from COATS for tire balancers, 1.125 inch ID

Offset Truck Wheel Adapter/Backing Plate for Smooth, Secure Balancing

The Offset Truck Wheel Adapter/Backing Plate is a must-have when you're working with truck wheels that don't mount flush to your balancer. That offset helps bridge the gap literally between the wheel and the machine. With a 1.125 in (28mm) inner diameter, it’s designed specifically to fit COATS balancers and handle the heavier loads of commercial truck wheels. If you've dealt with wobbly mounting or poor balance reads due to improper backplate support, this fixes it fast.

It’s especially useful in fleet maintenance, commercial tire shops, or mobile truck service where time is tight and fitment accuracy matters. You get a secure, centered wheel fit that reduces callbacks and helps ensure a smooth ride on the first try.

What Makes This Adapter Better?

Unlike universal adapters that force a one-size-fits-all compromise, this COATS unit is engineered for precision - no sloppy fitment, no unnecessary play. The heavy-duty steel backing plate is built to withstand repeated use in harsh environments. It doesn't flex or warp like cheaper knock-offs, and that means better balance every time.

Key Advantages:

  • Designed specifically for 1.125 in / 28mm balancer shafts
  • Engineered offset provides proper wheel positioning
  • Rigid construction reduces vibration-related read errors

How It Performs on the Job

In real-world use, this adapter makes truck balancing feel like balancing a light-duty wheel. The fit is snug, the installation is straightforward, and it just works. There’s no need to force things into place or double-check runout because of misalignment. That’s less frustration for your techs and fewer rebalances for your customers.

Ideal For:

  • Heavy-duty shops using COATS balancers
  • Mobile commercial tire service crews
  • Fleet maintenance operations
