Meets UL 1963 & SAE J2788 Standards
There's nothing easier than programming your A/C settings and walking away to let the machine do its job. The Ranger AC-134A CoolCharge brings the same intuitive thinking that has made Ranger a household name in shops worldwide—now in a fully automatic R-134A recovery, recycling, and recharging machine designed to match your needs and busy lifestyle. Especially during the summer months when vehicles need regular A/C service, older systems require more frequent attention due to leaks and inefficiencies. That's why you need a fast, reliable way to recharge drained systems while your technicians perform other inspections and provide the best possible customer care.
The AC-134A CoolCharge is 100% programmable, eliminating the need to monitor the recovery and recharge process. Simply program, connect, and you're done. Drained oil is automatically stored in an internal container, and the easy-to-read 4" x 1.5" LCD display indicates exactly how much oil must be returned to the vehicle system. The machine continuously monitors filter condition and refrigerant levels, automatically stopping operation if the filter becomes contaminated or refrigerant levels drop too low to safely service. This intelligent monitoring ensures safe, consistent results every time.
Fully portable and shop-friendly, the CoolCharge can easily serve as your sole A/C service machine. Oversized 12" rear wheels with rubber tread and lockable 4" front casters allow for effortless maneuverability around your shop, while a foot-activated lock secures the unit firmly in place when needed. With a 50 lb. (23 kg) tank capacity and 9-foot hoses, you have the reach and refrigerant capacity to handle multiple vehicles without constant refilling.
Don't waste time or money on inefficient recovery machines that drain resources and increase operating costs. The Ranger AC-134A CoolCharge is the dependable, all-in-one A/C solution your shop needs to service most cars, trucks, SUVs, and buses with R-134A refrigerant systems. Note: This machine does NOT service Electric/Hybrid A/C systems.
The AC-134A is engineered to deliver professional-grade performance with features that save time and improve workflow:
The AC-134A operates reliably across a wide temperature range (41°F to 104°F / 5°C to 40°C), making it suitable for year-round shop use. With automatic refrigerant charging via electronic scale and A/C pressure adjustment, you achieve precise, repeatable results on every vehicle.

The robust wheel system—12-inch rubber-tread rear wheels and 4-inch locking front casters—ensures smooth transport across your shop floor and secure positioning during operation. At 276 lbs. (including a full refrigerant tank), this machine is built to last while remaining easy to move wherever service is needed.
