30-Inch Wheel Capacity for Versatile Tire Service
The Ranger R76ATR offers an expanded wheel clamping range designed to accommodate a broad selection of compatible passenger vehicle and light truck wheels.
Its adjustable RimGuard clamping system provides two configurations:
- Internal Wheel Clamping: 8" to 26"
- External Wheel Clamping: 10" to 30"
This versatile clamping range allows technicians to service different wheel diameters using one tire-changing machine. The hardened-steel RimGuard clamps are designed to securely position wheels while helping protect aluminum and alloy wheel surfaces during service.
Tilt-Back Tower for Faster Wheel Loading & Unloading
The R76ATR tilt-back tower allows the mounting assembly to move away from the wheel during loading and unloading. This provides convenient access to the turntable and reduces the need to repeatedly reposition the mount/demount head when servicing different wheel assemblies.
For busy tire shops, this configuration can help reduce setup time between jobs while improving technician convenience and overall service bay efficiency.
The tilt-back design is especially beneficial when handling larger wheels and tire assemblies that require additional clearance during positioning.
Right-Side Assist Tower for Low-Profile & Run-Flat Tires
The Ranger R76ATR features a right-side assist tower designed to provide additional control when servicing challenging tire-and-wheel assemblies.
Low-profile and run-flat tires often feature stiff sidewalls that make conventional mounting and demounting more difficult. The assist tower helps technicians manage tire bead positioning and movement, reducing the amount of manual force required during service.
For professional automotive shops regularly working with performance tires and modern wheel designs, the assist system provides a valuable upgrade over basic swing-arm tire changers.
Advanced Drop-Center Control & Bead Assist Tools
The Ranger R76ATR incorporates specialized assist components designed to help technicians control difficult tire beads throughout the mounting and demounting process.
- Top Bead Assist Rollers: Apply controlled pressure to help guide and position the tire bead.
- Multi-Profile Traveling Drop-Center Tool: Helps keep the tire bead positioned within the wheel's drop center to reduce mounting resistance.
- Lower Bead Lifting Disc: Assists with lifting and positioning the lower tire bead.
- Non-Marring Wheel Restraint Device: Provides additional control while helping protect wheel surfaces.
- Specialized Saucer and Roller Combination: Offers additional support for challenging tire bead configurations.
These components work together to make low-profile, run-flat, and stiff-sidewall tire service more manageable while helping reduce operator fatigue and improve control.
High-Torque Electric Turntable with Reversible Rotation
The R76ATR features a high-torque electric turntable drive designed to deliver reliable rotational power during tire mounting and demounting operations.
Its reversible rotation allows technicians to change turntable direction when needed, providing greater flexibility when working with challenging tire beads and wheel configurations.
Controlled turntable operation helps technicians manage tire positioning and bead movement, supporting an efficient service process while reducing unnecessary strain on tire components.
TurboBlast Bead Seating System
The TurboBlast bead seating system provides additional assistance when seating tire beads during inflation.
By delivering a concentrated burst of compressed air, the system helps technicians seat compatible tire beads that may be difficult to seal using conventional inflation methods alone.
This feature is particularly useful when servicing tire assemblies that require additional airflow to establish an initial seal between the tire bead and wheel rim.
Always follow tire and wheel manufacturer inflation procedures and use appropriate safety equipment when seating tire beads.
Integrated Tire Inflation System with Pressure Controls
The Ranger R76ATR includes an integrated tire inflation system designed to support controlled inflation during tire service.
Inflation and compressed air components include:
- Tire Inflation Gauge
- Integrated Air Dump Valve
- Pressure Regulator/Limiter
- Air Regulator
- Water Filter
- Oiler/Lubricator
These components help technicians monitor inflation pressure and manage the compressed air supply used during tire-changing operations.
Protective Mount/Demount Heads & Included Accessories
The Ranger R76ATR includes both alloy-steel and nylon mount/demount heads to support different wheel service applications.
The nylon head provides a non-metallic contact option for compatible wheels where additional surface protection is desirable, while the alloy-steel head offers a durable alternative for appropriate tire-changing applications.
Additional tire service accessories include:
- Alloy-Steel Mount/Demount Head
- Nylon Mount/Demount Head
- Tire Bead Tool
- Soap Bucket
- Application Brush
- Centering Cone
- Tool Tray Storage
These accessories provide useful tools for daily tire service while helping technicians maintain an organized and efficient workstation.
Designed to Improve Productivity & Reduce Operator Fatigue
The Ranger R76ATR combines tilt-back convenience, advanced bead assist technology, protective wheel clamping, and high-torque turntable operation to support a more efficient tire-changing process.
By reducing the amount of manual effort required for difficult tire assemblies, the assist system helps technicians manage demanding jobs with greater control. The tilt-back tower also simplifies wheel loading and unloading, making the R76ATR particularly useful in busy service bays where multiple tire changes are performed throughout the day.
