Coats introduced key upgrades to its Coats Maxx tire changers, enhancing precision and ease of use. The improvements, available on the Maxx 80 and 90 models, include a new digital air gauge and a redesigned air chuck. The upgraded digital air gauge replaces the previous analog version. This enhancement improves accuracy and supports technician efficiency on the job, Coats said.
Meanwhile, the redesigned air chuck delivers better ergonomics and a stronger connection to the valve stem. This reduces the risk of air leaks and minimizes physical strain on the operator.
“Technicians deserve equipment that makes their work easier and more accurate,” said Ben Pryor, Vice President of Commercial for Coats. “With the digital air gauge and the newly engineered air chuck, we’re not just improving convenience. We’re adding meaningful upgrades that continue our longstanding tradition of safety and reliability in every tire-changing task.”
User Feedback Drives Engineering Improvements for Coats Maxx Tire Changers
Coats said the Maxx tire changers continue to evolve through direct input from technicians and shop owners. According to the company, its design and testing process ensures upgrades deliver real-world benefits.
“At Coats, we don’t release upgrades for the sake of it,” said Kyle Harris, Senior Product Manager for Coats. “Every improvement we make is backed by extensive testing and built to address real challenges faced by technicians. But they’re also designed with the user in mind, and these upgrades are a testament to that philosophy.”
Maxx Line Maintains Focus on Reliability and Safety
Coats said the Maxx line, launched in 2023, delivers rugged performance. These latest updates build on that foundation, offering improved functionality and durability for professional tire service shops.
