Product Overview
The Coats 1300-2D Direct Drive Wheel Balancer is a professional passenger-car and light-truck wheel balancer designed to combine straightforward operation with Coats' durable Direct Drive technology.
Its 2D automatic data entry automatically measures wheel distance and diameter, reducing manual measurements and helping technicians move through balancing jobs more efficiently. The 1300 also simultaneously displays static and dynamic imbalance information through Coats' Static-on-Screen™ system.
At the heart of the machine is Coats' Direct Drive system, which combines the motor and spindle into a single pre-balanced assembly. Eliminating traditional belts and pulleys reduces moving components and helps the balancer maintain calibration and accuracy over time.

| Current Published Shipping Weight | 639 lb |
Coats' current product page lists a 639 lb shipping weight. An available manual lists 680 lb with accessories, so for your current online listing I'd use 639 lb as the manufacturer-published shipping weight unless your actual crated unit is labeled differently.
2D Automatic Data Entry
The "2D" designation refers to the balancer automatically acquiring two wheel measurements:
Distance — the distance between the balancer and wheel.
Diameter — the wheel's rim diameter.
The technician still enters the wheel width separately. This is one of the main distinctions between the 1300-2D and higher-end Coats 3D balancers that can automatically acquire distance, diameter, and width.
Direct Drive System
Coats combines the motor and spindle into one pre-balanced assembly rather than transmitting power through conventional belts and pulleys.
That provides several practical advantages for a working tire shop: fewer moving components, no belts or pulleys to wear, reduced calibration requirements, and consistent balancing accuracy.
Balancing Capabilities
The 1300-2D supports standard dynamic balancing, static balancing, alloy wheel applications, user-defined weight placement, and behind-the-spoke weight placement.
Behind-the-spoke mode is particularly useful on custom and premium wheels because adhesive weights can be positioned behind the spokes rather than remaining visible from the face of the wheel.
Included Accessories
The standard accessory package includes equipment for common passenger and light-truck wheel applications, including:
- Small centering cone
- Medium centering cone
- Large centering cone
- Light-truck cone
- Rim-width calipers
- Wheel-weight pliers
- Hubnut handle
- Small pressure cup and rubber lip
- Cone spring
- Scraper
- Cone peg brackets
Recommended Applications
- Independent tire shops
- High-volume tire dealers
- Automotive repair facilities
- Passenger-car wheel balancing
- SUV and crossover wheels
- Light-truck wheel balancing
- Custom and aftermarket wheels
- Fleet maintenance facilities
Its 150 lb wheel capacity, 30-inch rim capacity and 44-inch maximum tire diameter give the 1300 substantially more capability than a basic passenger-car balancer while keeping the controls relatively straightforward.
