COATS’ CUSTOMERS GET MORE OPTIONS WITH X-MODEL TIRE CHANGER LINE

LA VERGNE, Tenn. – Hennessy Industries’ COATS brand will re-launch its flagship line of rim clamp tire changers in order to offer customers increased customization and value, officials announced today.

The X-Model tire changer line represents a realignment of existing COATS lines, combining features and upgrades from the 5000 and 7000 models that will allow customers to tailor tire changers to meet their shops’ needs.

“The X-Model is not a new product launch, but a realignment of COATS tire changer products to better fit our customers’ needs,” said Kevin Keefe, Hennessy Industries’ vice president of marketing. “We’ve adapted many of the recent upgrades and value-added improvements from our 7000 series models to the 5000 series models, and we’ve decoupled storage and accessories across the line to give our customers more options with regard to features and prices.”

The new line will offer three 50X and three 70X models, and customers will be able to differentiate the models by how they’re equipped with accessories and add-ons for better customization. The new line also adds several price points that will allow customers to pay only for the features and capabilities their shops need in a tire changer.

“Customers can expect the same durability and value they’ve always had with COATS tire changers, but now they will be able to pick and choose the features that they feel are important for their shops,” said Keefe.
