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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct highlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlip-Free Locking:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engineered to provide a positive, non-slip grip on the vertical slide bar during high-torque tire mounting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardened Steel Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built to withstand the repetitive impact and pressure of the locking mechanism without deforming.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCritical Precision:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maintains the exact distance between the mount head and the rim, preventing accidental contact and damage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirect Replacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed for an exact fit in Coats locking assemblies, requiring no modifications for installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8181788\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e am8181788\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirect replacement models\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoats:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8181788\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits Models:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compatible with multiple Coats Rim Clamp tire changer models utilizing a vertical arm lock plate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou will receive the same product or an OEM-Equivalent that meets the highest standard of the OEM with warranty that will be a direct-fit.
