The Ranger R980XR NEXTGEN™ Swing-Arm Tire Changer is designed for dependable daily tire service in professional automotive repair environments. With its 30-inch capacity, the R980XR provides broader wheel service coverage than smaller swing-arm tire changers while maintaining a familiar, technician-friendly operating design.

High-Torque Electric Turntable & Reversible Operation
The R980XR features a high-torque electric turntable designed to provide reliable rotational power during tire mounting and demounting.
Reversible rotation gives technicians greater control over the tire-changing process, helping them manage different wheel and tire combinations more efficiently. Combined with the adjustable clamp table and mount/demount head, the turntable provides a practical platform for everyday professional tire service.

The Ranger DST30PX Wheel Balancer complements the R980XR tire changer by providing accurate digital wheel balancing for professional automotive service applications.
Designed for shops that need dependable balancing performance without the complexity of more advanced premium systems, the DST30PX offers a practical combination of precision, ease of operation, and everyday reliability.
Once a tire has been mounted using the R980XR, technicians can transfer the wheel assembly to the DST30PX to measure imbalance and determine the necessary weight corrections.
64-Tooth Magnetic Encoder for Precise Balancing
One of the key features of the DST30PX is its 64-tooth magnetic encoder, which supports precise rotational position measurement during the balancing process.
Accurate position measurement helps the balancer identify wheel imbalance and supports consistent weight correction results. This makes the DST30PX a valuable upgrade for shops seeking improved balancing precision and repeatability during routine wheel service.

- Step 4: Transfer the wheel assembly to the DST30PX digital wheel balancer.
- Step 5: Measure wheel imbalance and apply the required balancing weights.
- Step 6: Verify the balance correction before returning the wheel assembly to service.
This straightforward workflow helps technicians complete tire replacement and wheel balancing services efficiently while maintaining professional service standards.
