This professional tire service combo pairs the Ranger R980DP-L 110V swing-arm tire changer with the DST30P precision wheel balancer to deliver a complete, high-performance tire service solution for busy repair shops and full-service tire centers. Designed to handle everything from standard passenger vehicles to performance wheels, low-profile run-flats, and light truck configurations, this combo provides the accuracy, power, and efficiency that modern shops demand. The R980DP-L features dual-assist towers, electric turntable drive, and 110V energy-efficient operation, while the DST30PX employs advanced 64-tooth encoder technology for precise, minimal weight placement in just 7 seconds. Together, they form a robust, space-efficient service platform that maximizes throughput and profitability.
Supersedes R980AT-L
Looking for a tire changer that can confidently handle everything from daily commuter vehicles to aggressive race car wheels? The Ranger R980DP-L delivers professional-grade versatility with dual-assist towers that make unseating stiff, low-profile, and stubborn run-flat tires a breeze. Its innovative centering cone design holds the bead securely in the drop-center during external clamping, providing extra protection for expensive performance and alloy wheels—making it ideal for full-service repair bays, high-volume tire shops, and specialty wheel centers.
The R980DP-L is powered by a high-torque electric turntable, offering smooth, consistent rotation paired with intuitive foot pedal controls that put you in complete command of every mount and demount. If lower voltage operation is required for your shop's electrical setup, the R980DP-L model delivers the same robust convenience features in a more energy-efficient 110V single-phase package, drawing just 18 amps.
Rugged construction meets advanced engineering in every detail. The traveling drop-center tool and swing-in bottom helper disc tackle the toughest sidewalls without damaging tires, while an updated electric motor ensures lasting durability with copper rotors and thermal-cool insulation. Precision-engineered stainless steel and aluminum pneumatic cylinders reduce machine vibrations, and a perfectly balanced flywheel minimizes strain on components for extended equipment life. From the easy-to-reach foot pedal layout to vibration-dampening design features, the R980DP-L is built for long-lasting, efficient, and damage-free performance in any high-demand shop environment.

Supersedes DST30P
The DST30PX delivers fast, accurate wheel balancing and calibration for wheel and tire assemblies up to 43" in diameter. Featuring a precision 64-tooth magnetic transducer encoder, it provides exceptionally accurate wheel weight placement for improved balancing performance and efficiency.
The larger encoder utilizes precision-cut square teeth to convert rotary position into a digital electronic signal, allowing fast and accurate profile measurement and top-dead-center positioning. Designed with space efficiency in mind, the unit also features a narrowed chassis to reduce its overall footprint, making it ideal for shops and garages of all sizes.
The DST30PX features a Direct-Axis drive system designed to keep your shop running smoothly day after day. Its simplified single-belt design connects the motor directly to the unbalance sensor, reducing mechanical complexity while improving long-term reliability. With fewer moving parts to service, this system helps minimize downtime and lowers overall maintenance costs—making it a dependable solution for high-volume shop environments.
The DST30PX provides expanded wheel weight placement capabilities while maintaining a compact, space-saving, and cost-effective design for professional shops. Standard features include dynamic, static, and ALU balancing modes, along with dual-plane calibration to accommodate OEM wheel configurations and high-performance wheels.
Ranger’s proprietary Digital Sensor Technology utilizes an advanced single-chip integrated microprocessor to maximize balancing speed, accuracy, and overall efficiency. Engineered to handle the demands of OEM and high-performance wheels, the DST30PX delivers the advanced precision and reliability required for today’s specialized wheel balancing applications.
The DST30PX features advanced single-chip circuit board architecture for improved performance, faster processing, and enhanced reliability compared to traditional multi-chip systems. A dedicated high-speed transport protocol enables rapid communication with the microprocessor for industry-leading response times, while the single-chip design improves heat dissipation and reduces overall power consumption
Dual-component piezoelectric quartz load sensors and a digital rotation encoder work together to measure longitudinal, transversal, and shear forces for precise multidirectional imbalance detection. These highly sensitive piezoelectric sensors provide exceptional stability, superior fatigue resistance, and long-lasting performance, while the high-rigidity quartz crystal design delivers accurate high-frequency detection across all three measured directions.
Each DST30PX comes ready to work right out of the box with a starter kit that includes 100 silver adhesive weights, 100 black adhesive weights, and a mixed assortment of clip-on steel weights—so you can get started immediately without additional setup.
