R980XR + DST30P + Weights

R980XR

You’ll find that most repair shops service average commuter cars, pick-ups, and SUVs. These vehicles won’t need much in the way of features and add-ons since the tires and wheels are relatively easy to work with. Such specialty tools are best left for working with aluminum wheels, run-flats, and low-profile tires.

If you run a shop that simply wants a space-saver that performs basic tire changes quickly and safely, then the R980XR is the tire changer for you. It installs flush against the wall so you won’t have to worry about it getting in your way. Also, the included non-marring duck heads are perfect for a wide variety of wheels. It’s hard to go wrong with this model as your primary machine or back up to your sophisticated model.

The R980XR 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.

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 a large, dual-flange axles that completely eliminates blade flex and premature failure. The blade settings can be adjusted according to individual user preferences, a crucial design feature that permits a larger variety of tire and wheel combos.

Forged steel foot pedal levers can handle tough operations, no matter how often they end up getting used. Snap-action springs return the pedal to the neutral position the moment you let go. Tire changers need to be extremely responsive, so they don’t accidentally tear or slow down operations. The R980XR comes with multi-link rod connections for non-binding plunger movement and precise bilateral control.

DST30P

The DST30P is capable of accurately and efficiently calibrating wheel and tire configurations. This wheel balancer can handle wheels up to 30” in diameter. The DST30P utilizes a Direct-Axis drive system which helps keep the DST30P running smoothly. It features a single belt which connects the motor and unbalance sensor, thereby eliminating most maintenance costs during your wheel balancer’s many years of service.

The DST30P doubles the potential placement for wheel weights while still maintaining a space-conscious and cost-effective shop solution. It features dynamic, static, and ALU balancing modes which come standard on each unit.

The weight calculations on the DST30P wheel balancer are more accurate than the DST-2420. As a matter of fact, it’s twice as accurate as the DST-2420. Ranger has taken something great and made it even greater. Now you can balance your tire and wheel configurations with the most precise placements possible. The 64-tooth magnetic transducer encoder offers more precise placement readouts by making it easier to achieve maximum profile and top-dead-center positioning. You’ll be using less weight while you save more time. Overall, it just increases your bottom line.

Ranger has taken the touch-pad display panel on the DST-2420 wheel balancer and raised it up, tower-style, for the DST30P. This design improvement offers more flexibility in how you work. It’s extended, fully adjustable display avoids the problem of glare that can shroud readouts on the screen, and it’ll ensure that differently abled operators will enjoy a more ergonomic experience as they calibrate tire and wheel configurations.

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.
