R980XR + DST2420 + Weights

R980XR

If you want the space-saving benefits of the R980AT without the addition of an assist-tower, then the R980XR is the perfect alternative tire changer. The R980XR is great for general repairs on a wide range of tires, including racing tires, pickup trucks and tire beads that don’t have a lot of fight in them. The electric turntable makes tire changes happen faster, and by controlling the speeds, your low-profile and run-flat beads will have time to relax.

This tire changer features the latest in design and wheel service technology, providing the best value and performance in its class. The powerful motor and gearbox work systematically at a controlled speed for simple tire removal and installation. Ergonomic controls are conveniently placed to minimize excessive reaching, walking, or bending. This results in an increased efficiency throughout the shop which means more jobs per day, and increased revenue. Large storage trays provide ample space for wheel weights, tools, and accessories on this tire changer.

The R980XR has been designed with a high-torque electric turntable to make tire changes happen as fast as possible. They offer faster speeds and reversible direction to keep you moving. By controlling the speeds, your low-profile and run-flat beads have time to relax, all but eliminating the main cause of tire damage.

The R980XR comes equipped with an improved electric motor. It includes rugged copper rotor construction, high-quality bearings, thermal-cool epoxy insulation, and durable rolled steel frames.

It’s not enough to just have a high-quality machine. It also needs an intelligent design. The R980XR has its controls ergonomically placed which allows for easy access. The end result is operating the machine as efficiently as it’s comfortable.

This well-crafted tire changer is made up of many high-quality components such as, stainless steel and aluminum pneumatic cylinders which are designed to reduce machine vibration and provide low-friction and long-life operation. Internal end-of-stroke cushions come standard and offer extra cushioning at the end of each full stroke which will reduce wear on seals, wear bands, and piston rods.

Bilateral pneumatic accelerators offer incredible bead-breaker speeds, even when in reverse. The stainless-steel bead-breaker cylinder does not react with moisture in the air, so there’s never a risk of corrosion due to condensation. A multi-axis, adjustable blade allows operators multi-angle tire capacity, as well as large, dual-flange axle that completely eliminates blade flex and premature failure. The blade settings can also be adjusted according to individual user preferences, a crucial design feature that permits a larger variety of tire and wheel combos.

The bead-breaker is enhanced with a more rugged box frame which strengthens the integrity of the tire changer structure. This enhancement will increase the number of years that you will be using this machine to change tires in your shop. A sizable rubber bump-stop makes returns smoother than ever, reducing shock loading and cylinder wear, as well on other moving parts throughout the life of this tire changer.

The equi-dimensional shape of the reinforced alloy steel mount and demount head features a micro-smooth tool head surface that glides tire beads during mounting and demounting procedures. Additionally, Ranger has included a rugged polymer mount/demount head with adapter that protects fragile tires and rims from metal-to-metal contact damage.

When you get Ranger, you also get Ranger’s exclusive RimGuard wheel clamps. They can expand up to 30”. The wheel clamps are made from high-quality hardened steel, and they feature two sets of multi-teeth jaws, internal and external, as well as vertical mounting bolts that let you change tires quickly.

An exclusive feature to Ranger tire changers is the TurboBlast bead seating system. It forces air to help seat stubborn beads. Using a powerful blast from an attached hose, the non-marring discharge barrel features a contoured tab that will lock securely on the edge of the rim for better control during air discharge between the tire and wheel. The R980XR also features a welded-steel, eight-gallon surge tank which is always ready for heavy-duty use and extremely fast charge times.

A 45mm spring-assisted hexagonal vertical tool shaft and hardened-steel horizontal outrigger support arm maintain perfect position of the mount-demount tool head during all tire service procedures. This greatly reduces the chance of accidental tire damage.

DST-2420

Ranger’s DST-2420 wheel balancer is capable of handling wheels up to 30” in diameter. This highly accurate balancer features Ranger’s Digital Sensor Technology for critical reliability and repeatability. The DST-2420 is built with a gritty toughness that puts out perfectly balanced wheels day after day, around the clock. It is accurate to within hundredths of an ounce, ensuring wheels are balanced vibration-free.

Ranger’s highly accurate Digital Sensor Technology is equipped with a 16-digit signal processor and single-chip technology which increases productivity and offers superior speed and accuracy- especially when using sophisticated balance and weight placement techniques which are required for newer high-tech OEM and aftermarket wheels.

Single-chip circuit board architecture delivers an inherent performance and reliability advantage compared to multi-chip implementations of the same functionality. In addition to overall latency reductions, the single-chip architecture dramatically boosts device throughout. It features a quick and dedicated hyper transport protocol allows data to communicate with the micro-processor at an increased speed. This solution offers unmatched integration of features and functionality and results in both lower power consumption and dissipated heat.

The DST-2420 has dual-component piezoelectric quartz load sensors and digital encoder measure longitudinal, transversal, and shear effects for multi-directional force unbalance detection. These sensors are among the most sensitive that Ranger has ever developed. The high-rigidity quartz sensors offer high frequency detection in all three measured directions.

Included with your purchase of the DST-2420 is a set of multi-size center cones and a full-rubber perimeter no-mar “Quick-Nut” bell adapter which will have you mounting wheels quickly and easily while minimizing the risk of accidentally damaging the wheels.

The DST-2420 will automatically calculate the minimum amount of weight that is needed to achieve an optimal balance for the tire and wheel configuration, so you end up using less weight. This will quickly add up to real savings while increasing your bottom line.

A touch-pad display panel features tire and wheel assembly graphics to help simplify speed entry of wheel data and guide technicians through balancing procedures. Operator function keys are conveniently labeled with simple, easy-to-read icons to help operators identify and command all balancing functions.

The LED rolling wheel weight displays are highly visible and show exactly where to place the weights in mere seconds. These LED indicators let you see weight positions when the mounted wheel is rolled top-dead-center. The tiered weight placement indicators will help you identify out-of-site weight placement such as split-weight and hidden “behind-the-spoke” techniques. They will aid with clip-on and tape weight placement at precise locations for zero-on balancing every time.

Tape Weight Rolls

Ranger’s Stick-On-Steel weights offer an incredible fit, as well as a reliable and cost-effective choice. Their weights are designed to be corrosion resistant and have little impact on the environment. Show your customers that you’re working with quality by using an adhesive that is extra-sticky, lessening the chance of it becoming loose and falling off the wheel.

Ranger’s .25 oz. wheel weights are perfectly sized, and they’re weighted for most wheel balancing applications. If you pair them with a Ranger wheel balancer, you’ll never use more weight than necessary for a job. Their adhesive is extra-sticky, which lessens the chance of the weight falling off the wheel, and it’ll improve your level of customer service. Customers will know the quality difference when you service their vehicle with Ranger wheel weights.
