Product description

The Lock Plate is a fundamental mechanical component within the arm-locking assembly of Coats tire changers. It works in conjunction with the pneumatic or manual locking cylinders to secure the swing arm or vertical slide in a fixed position once the mount head is set. If the lock plate becomes worn, smooth, or distorted, the arm may "walk" or shift under the pressure of mounting a stiff tire, leading to inaccurate tool placement and potential rim scarring. Replacing a compromised lock plate restores the rigid stability of the tool arm, which is critical when working with low-profile or run-flat tires. This plate is manufactured to precise tolerances to ensure it bites securely into the slide bar for a slip-free hold.

Product highlights

• Slip-Free Locking: Engineered to provide a positive, non-slip grip on the vertical slide bar during high-torque tire mounting.
• Hardened Steel Construction: Built to withstand the repetitive impact and pressure of the locking mechanism without deforming.
• Critical Precision: Maintains the exact distance between the mount head and the rim, preventing accidental contact and damage.
• Direct Replacement: Designed for an exact fit in Coats locking assemblies, requiring no modifications for installation.
