Need help with installation? Our AI assistant has read this installation manual and can help you find the right page and walk you through each step.
The Ranger R980DP-L Tire Changer is designed for professional automotive service environments that need additional tire-changing capability beyond a standard swing-arm machine.
Featuring a dual-assist system and 110V electrical configuration, the R980DP-L helps technicians handle demanding tire mounting and demounting operations while maintaining a familiar swing-arm operating layout.
The machine is particularly useful for shops servicing modern passenger vehicles, performance cars, SUVs, and compatible light trucks equipped with tires that require additional bead control.
For busy tire service departments, the R980DP-L provides a practical combination of professional tire-changing performance, technician convenience, and efficient equipment placement.
110V Electrical Configuration for Shop Flexibility
The Ranger R980DP-L features a 110V electrical configuration, making it a practical option for automotive repair facilities equipped with compatible electrical service.
This configuration allows shops to incorporate a professional dual-assist tire changer into their equipment plan while maintaining the familiar operation of a swing-arm machine.
Before installation, verify the manufacturer's specified electrical circuit, amperage, plug configuration, and compressed air requirements. The DST30P wheel balancer has separate electrical requirements that should also be confirmed.
Dual-Assist Technology for Challenging Tire Assemblies
The R980DP-L dual-assist tire-changing system provides additional support for tire assemblies that can be difficult to service using conventional equipment.
Low-profile tires, run-flat tires, and performance tire assemblies often feature stiff sidewalls that make mounting and demounting more demanding. The dual-assist system helps technicians control tire bead positioning and movement, reducing the amount of manual effort required during service.
This added assistance is particularly valuable for professional shops regularly working with modern tire designs and challenging wheel configurations.
By helping technicians manage difficult tire assemblies more efficiently, the R980DP-L can support improved workflow and reduce operator fatigue during repetitive tire-changing operations.
Improved Bead Control for Low-Profile & Run-Flat Tires
Proper tire bead control is essential when mounting and demounting low-profile and stiff-sidewall tires.
The Ranger R980DP-L assist system helps technicians maintain more controlled tire positioning throughout the service process. This is particularly beneficial when the tire bead must remain properly positioned within the wheel's drop center to reduce mounting resistance.
With additional mechanical assistance available, technicians can manage challenging tire assemblies with less reliance on manual force, helping reduce unnecessary strain on both the operator and tire components.
Space-Saving Swing-Arm Design
The R980DP-L swing-arm configuration provides a familiar tire-changing layout while helping conserve valuable shop floor space.
This design is especially useful for automotive repair shops and tire service centers where equipment placement and available working space are important considerations.
By combining a practical swing-arm layout with dual-assist functionality, the R980DP-L offers professional tire-changing capability without requiring shops to move to a larger tilt-back configuration.
Versatile Tire Service for Cars, SUVs & Light Trucks
The Ranger R980DP-L is designed to support a variety of professional tire service applications, including:
- Passenger Car Tire Mounting and Demounting
- Compatible SUV and Pickup Truck Tire Service
- Light-Duty Truck Tire Applications
- Low-Profile Performance Tires
- Compatible Run-Flat Tire Assemblies
- Stiff-Sidewall Tire Service

The result is a balanced equipment package that combines advanced tire-changing support with straightforward professional wheel balancing.
Included Tape Wheel Weight Rolls
This Ranger tire changer and wheel balancer combo includes tape wheel weight rolls to support common wheel balancing applications.
Adhesive tape weights provide a convenient solution for compatible wheel assemblies where stick-on weight placement is preferred. Including these supplies with the equipment package helps shops begin performing balancing corrections without sourcing all initial wheel weight materials separately.
Confirm the included weight quantity, material, and specifications for the selected package.
