Complete your shop setup with this exceptional Ranger tire changer and wheel balancer combo — the perfect match for high-volume tire shops, gas stations, independent garages, and anywhere tire service is a daily priority. The R745 RimGuard™ 21" capacity tire changer pairs seamlessly with the DST-2420 Dynamic Wheel Balancer to create a comprehensive tire service solution designed for speed, precision, and long-term reliability. Whether you're handling passenger cars, light trucks, trailers, or daily commuters, this combo delivers professional-grade performance without unnecessary complexity. Get the tools you need to change and balance wheels quickly, accurately, and profitably — with Ranger's proven durability and engineering excellence backing every job.
The Ranger R745 is a fixed tower tire changer that delivers exactly what busy shops demand: reliability, speed, and no-nonsense performance. Ideal for gas stations, roadside tire shops, small personal operations, or as a dependable backup machine, the R745 features a swing-arm design for fast tire loading and robust steel clamps perfect for passenger cars, daily commuters, spares, and trailer tires. There's nothing fancy here — just solid, dependable tire service equipment built to handle the heavy volume your shop demands.
Only pay for what you need. The R745 is engineered with a rigid tower design and a sturdy body featuring a 45mm hexagonal vertical shaft and hardened-steel horizontal outrigger support arm. This construction eliminates flex during tire service procedures, reducing the risk of damaging expensive wheels. Linear guide bearings make vertical and horizontal adjustments smooth and effortless — and they're completely maintenance-free for the entire life of your tire changer.
High-torque electric turntable with faster operating speeds and reverse-direction control makes tire swaps easier and reduces the risk of tire damage — especially critical for low-profile and run-flat beads that need time to relax. The dual pneumatic cylinders ensure smooth, consistent clamping action, and the 4 internal/external clamps handle a wide range of wheel sizes with inside clamping from 12" to 20" and outside clamping from 10" to 16".
Enhanced pneumatic bead breaker blade provides durable construction and many years of dependable service. A rubber bump stop ensures smooth arm return, reducing shock loading and protecting moving parts. The advanced blade design offers better mechanical strength and longevity compared to standard blades, letting you break even stubborn beads with confidence.
100% forged steel foot pedal levers are remarkably lightweight, durable, and non-reactive with chemicals, liquids, and other shop elements. As the most-exposed part of your tire changer, these foot pedals are built to last — unlike cast-iron pedals found on many other brands, which are heavy, prone to rust, and require more maintenance over time.
Sealed tight for minimal maintenance. Every main-lead electrical terminal, auxiliary switch, and motor enclosure is air-tight, dust-free, and utterly safe from contamination. The maintenance-free gearbox features an impressive oil and grease tank that releases heat and better lubricates components. Internal baffles work with a constant-seating stress flange gasket to provide low operating temperatures through superior venting and zero fluid leakage.
High-pressure polyurethane pneumatic tubing constructed with a smooth, seamless bore improves airflow. The tubing offers high abrasion resistance, high burst tolerance, and total kink resistance. The specially engineered drive-belt features convex sidewalls that evenly disperse wear, significantly extending the lifespan of your tire changer. Flex-bonded cords and flex-weave covers keep away contaminants like water and oil.
Upfront controls are logically arranged for speed and ease-of-use. The aluminum pneumatic cylinders feature internal end-of-stroke cushions that protect seals, wear bands, and piston rods, and are continuously lubricated during use for extended service life.
Alloy steel mount & demount head with an equi-dimensional shape lets you change tires without repositioning the tool head. The micro-smooth surface ensures mounting and gliding tire beads into place is effortless. The hardened alloy steel construction is specifically designed to protect tires at all times, even in the busiest shop environments. The 45mm spring assist hexagonal vertical tool shaft and manual lock tool holder keep the mount-demount tool head perfectly still during operations.
All the extras come standard. A soap bucket and brush, turntable jaw covers, bead-breaker blade boots, and mount/demount head covers are included — everything can be stored right in the tire changer. A steel tire iron and bead lever tool also comes with your purchase, an indispensable tool every tire changer operator should be familiar with. The pistol-type tire inflator with integrated air dump valve and sure-grip clip-on valve chuck permits full-function, hands-free operation.
Standard tire changer features include: Water filter, oiler/lubricator, air regulator, breaker bar, large soap/lubricator bucket, brush, traveling drop-center hold down device, inflation restraint device, and tool tray/bin storage. Optional motorcycle turntable clamps are available if you need to service motorcycles — they add versatility and are rugged and dependable.

The Ranger DST2420X Wheel Balancer is engineered to deliver exceptional balancing accuracy, fast cycle times, and dependable performance for busy automotive shops. Designed to handle wheels up to 30 inches in diameter, it features Ranger's advanced Digital Sensor Technology (DST) and proven Direct-Axis drive system to achieve vibration-free wheel balancing with accuracy down to hundredths of an ounce. Whether you're servicing standard passenger vehicles or performance wheels, the DST2420X provides reliable results all day, every day.
Automatic wheel measurement, bright LED weight placement indicators, and multiple balancing modes allow technicians to complete accurate wheel balancing in as little as six seconds. Dynamic, Static, and Performance Alloy programs make balancing OEM and aftermarket wheels quick, simple, and precise.
Equipped with a 16-digit digital signal processor and advanced single-chip electronics, the DST2420X delivers exceptional speed, accuracy, and repeatability. The integrated architecture reduces latency, improves processing performance, minimizes power consumption, and enhances long-term reliability while providing precise measurements for today's sophisticated wheel designs.
Dual quartz piezoelectric load sensors and a digital rotation encoder accurately detect longitudinal, lateral, and shear forces for superior imbalance detection. The high-rigidity quartz sensors offer outstanding sensitivity, stability, and fatigue resistance, providing virtually unlimited service life and consistent balancing performance.
The included multi-size center collets and rubber-protected Quick-Nut bell adapter make mounting wheels fast, secure, and safe while helping prevent costly wheel damage during setup.
The DST2420X includes a comprehensive collet package for passenger vehicles, light trucks, and medium-duty truck wheels. Included are three automotive/light truck collets covering 1.75"–4.25" center bores and one heavy-duty truck collet for 4.50"–5.00" center bores.
A redesigned open-top side shelf keeps Ranger Quick-Peel™ adhesive wheel weights organized and within easy reach, helping improve technician efficiency during balancing operations.
Automatic weight optimization calculates the minimum amount of balancing weight required for each wheel assembly, reducing wheel weight consumption while maintaining maximum balancing accuracy and lowering operating costs.
An intuitive touch-pad control panel with easy-to-read graphics guides technicians through every balancing procedure. Clearly labeled function keys and a bright display make operation simple for both experienced and first-time users.
High-visibility LED indicators accurately guide technicians to the proper weight placement position as the wheel is rotated. Tiered indicators simplify split-weight and behind-the-spoke balancing techniques for precise hidden weight placement and consistently vibration-free results.
Each Ranger DST2420X includes a complimentary wheel weight starter kit containing 100 silver adhesive steel tape weights, 100 black adhesive steel tape weights, and a starter assortment of clip-on steel wheel weights, allowing technicians to begin balancing immediately.
This starter kit provides immediate value and lets you begin balancing right out of the box without additional weight purchases.
