The Ranger R26FLT is an incredibly fast and efficient large tire changer engineered for the demands of high-volume fleet operations, agricultural service centers, and commercial tire shops. Swap out tubeless truck, agricultural, and off-road tires ranging from 14" to 26" in just minutes with precision control and uncompromising power. Featuring a robust 3 HP electric/hydraulic drive system, this super-duty truck tire changer handles rim diameters up to 26 inches, tire/wheel diameters up to 63 inches, and tire widths up to 31 inches—covering virtually any heavy-duty application that rolls into your bay.
Experience your shortest floor-to-floor service times ever, making your job easier and more profitable. The R26FLT is built with forged, hardened, and ground components designed to resist scoring, grooving, and wear. A portable remote control console brings convenient precision to your fingertips and saves you precious time, allowing operators to safely monitor the tire-changing process from the most advantageous angle. Our engineers understand that speed, convenience, and safety are your top priorities, so we've made them ours. Ranger tire changers are built to allow operators to learn and use them both quickly and safely, so you'll be up and running in no time flat.
We've thoroughly explored all aspects of truck wheel service to develop the quickest large tire changer possible, so high-volume tire shops can get the speed, capability, and dependability that they demand. All of our tire machines are built with the everyday abuses of a busy shop in mind—super-tough components, a rugged welded steel body, and a single-piece frame for superior rigidity make this one of the toughest, most durable, and trouble-free tire machines you will ever own.
The self-centering hydraulic clamping chuck lets you clamp from either the center bore of the wheel or the inside of the wheel—it doesn't matter. The R26FLT has you covered. Hydraulically operated spreader-type jaws ensure secure clamping of virtually all rims and off-road style wheels, while the massive chuck spindle handles the heaviest loads with ease.
Super-duty Electric/Hydraulic Motor & Hydraulic Drive: This powerfully sophisticated bi-directional hydraulic motor delivers smooth torque and superior wheel holding power to the Ranger R26FLT Heavy-Duty Fleet Tire Machine. Heavy, tapered roller bearings and a dual-direction hydraulic motor provide silky-smooth operation even under the most demanding loads.
Portable Control Unit: Simple controls and a positionable console let the operator safely monitor the tire-changing process from the most advantageous angle. Swift positioning and a quick-locking mount/demount arm mean less time fumbling and more time servicing.
Hydraulic Sled Carriage: The hydraulic sled carriage streamlines positioning, bead loosening, mounting, and demounting procedures, bringing hydraulic power to every critical step of the service process.
Sturdy Spindle, Chuck & Mount/Demount Head: The entire assembly gracefully rotates, raises, and lowers at your direction via easy-to-learn, simple-to-use operator controls. This sturdy spindle, chuck, and mount/demount head are hydraulically operated for effortless precision.
Powerful Bead Breaker: Quick set-up and a powerful armor-plated disc bead breaking system provide plenty of tire-busting power. Combine that with our durable bead breaker blade and you've got the capability to service virtually anything that rolls into your shop.
A Gentle Touch: Despite its brute strength, the R26FLT is very gentle on over-the-road tires and tubeless tires mounted on aluminum wheels. The steel-alloy mount/demount tool with polymer guards ensures leverless operation that protects delicate finishes while delivering professional results.
Safe and Easy to Use: It's simple—our sensible ergonomic design means easier operation for you and your technicians. Ranger tire changers are designed to allow operators to learn and use them both quickly and safely, minimizing training time and maximizing productivity.
The Ranger R26FLT comes fully equipped with everything you need to get started right out of the crate. Standard accessories include tire lubrication, a funnel, large and small bead tools, rotary valve O-rings, fuses, a wheel clamp, and a lever grease gun. This tire changer is ready to work the moment it arrives, ensuring you're up and running with minimal downtime.
