Baseline Changer Line Gets Big Expansion

Hennessy Industries has added three new models to its BaseLine by Coats tire changer line. BL500

New are the BL300, BL400 and BL500, which join the previously released BL200.

The new tire changers “are designed specifically for light-duty or low-volume tire service needs,” the company said. “For shops where tire service is an important, but not primary, source of business, all four BaseLine models offer reliable, economical alternatives to pre-owned equipment.”

“Demand remains high for durable, entry-level tire changers,” said Kevin Keefe, Hennessy Industries vice president of marketing. “BaseLine tire changers offer low-volume shops a cost-effective way to provide tire service without gambling on used equipment or unproven brands.”

The BL300, BL400 and BL500 mirror their BaseLine predecessor by servicing both steel and alloy wheels. Each tire changer comes with an air-powered side bead loosener, an X-shaped tabletop and bead-sealing jets to assist with inflation. The BL400 and BL500 also include a fully articulating Robo-Arm helper device to easily mount stiffer sidewall tires.

BaseLine by Coats tire changers are available through a number of tool equipment distributors, which can be reviewed at ammcoats.com.
