Hennessy Industries launched the new Coats Leverless Power Duckhead Bead Lifter, a mount/demount system that retrofits the Coats APX, 9024 and 70X series Rim Clamp tire changers. The bead lifter’s leverless design eliminates traditional tire tools that can mar the tire’s surface due to application difficulty or operator error, resulting in improved shop efficiency and better tire-changing results, according to the company. It features an easy-to-use design that eliminates metal-to-metal contact, taking the tire bar out of the operator’s hands and ensuring a controlled mount-and-demount process.
