Supersedes R980AT
Looking for a tire changer that can handle everything from commuter vehicles to race cars? The Ranger R980DP delivers with dual assist towers that make unseating stiff, low-profile run-flats a breeze. Its centering cone holds the bead in the drop-center for extra protection during external clamping, making it perfect for full-service repair bays and tire shops. With a high-torque electric turntable and foot pedal controls, you're in complete command of every demounting and mounting operation. The 208-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 3-phase motor provides ample power for even the toughest tire configurations, ensuring smooth, efficient operation in high-demand environments.
Rugged construction meets advanced engineering in the R980DP. Its traveling drop-center tool and swing-in bottom helper disc tackle tough sidewalls without damaging tires, while an updated electric motor ensures lasting durability with copper rotors and thermal-cool insulation. Stainless steel and aluminum pneumatic cylinders reduce machine vibrations, and a balanced flywheel minimizes strain for extended equipment life. From easy-to-reach foot pedals to vibration-dampening features, the R980DP is built for long-lasting, efficient performance in any high-demand shop.
The R980DP accommodates wheels with internal rim clamping from 9" to 30" and external rim clamping from 9" to 26", handling maximum tire diameters up to 50". Tire widths from 4" to 15" are supported during mounting, and the pneumatic bead breaker handles demounting widths from 1.5" to 13". The dual pneumatic cylinder table clamping system securely grips wheels with 4 internal/external clamps, ensuring stability throughout the process. The turbo blast bead seating system makes quick work of stubborn beads, while the large soap/lubricator bucket, brush, breaker bar, mount/demount head, and bead lifting tool provide everything you need for professional tire service.
With a sound level below 70dB and an air requirement of 110-175 PSI at 15-25 CFM, the R980DP integrates smoothly into your existing shop setup. The regulator/filter, oiler/lubricator, water filter, and air regulator ensure consistent air delivery for optimal performance. Pedal controls and a tool tray/bin storage keep operations efficient and organized. The rigid fixed/swing arm tower design with double assist tower (standard) offers the versatility and power needed for everything from standard passenger tires to specialty low-profile and run-flat applications.

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.
