Ranger R745 RimGuard™ Tire Changer – Rigid Tower, Straightforward Performance
You know what you need. And if what you need isn't that complicated, the Ranger R745 is the only tire changer you may ever put in your shop. This fixed tower design tire machine is ideal for gas stations, roadside tire shops, small personal operations, or as a backup for your more specialized tire machine. The swing-arm design lets you load tires fast, and the steel clamps are perfect for passenger cars, daily commuters, spares, and trailer tires. There's nothing fancy here, and frankly, some people just want it that way.
Only pay for what you need. The Ranger R745 is a rigid tower tire machine designed to handle the needs of heavy-volume tire shops. A sturdy body, rigid 45mm hexagonal vertical shaft, and hardened-steel horizontal outrigger support arm eliminate flex during all tire service procedures to reduce the chance of expensive wheels getting damaged.
High-torque electric turntable. Featuring faster operating speeds and reverse-direction control for easier tire swaps, this tire changer reduces the risk of tire damage, especially for low-profile and run-flat beads that need time to relax.
Enhanced bead breaker blade. The R745 tire changer is fitted with an advanced pneumatic bead breaker blade. Its durable construction ensures better mechanical strength, as well as many years of dependable service life. A rubber bump stop ensures a smooth arm return, lessening shock loading and minimizing any wear on the pneumatic cylinder. Other moving parts are also kept safe by the bump stop.
Forged steel foot pedal levers. All Ranger tire changers feature 100% forged steel foot pedals. This design makes the foot pedals remarkably lightweight, durable, and non-reactive with chemicals, liquids, and other inadvertent environmental elements. As the most-exposed part of your tire changer, it was important to us that we find the best material for your shop. Many other brands use cast-iron pedals, which are heavy, susceptible to rust, and require more maintenance over time.
Sealed tight. Protecting the internal workings of your tire changer is first and foremost in our minds, so there's little to no component maintenance for you to worry about. Every main‐lead electrical terminal, auxiliary switch, and motor enclosure is air‐tight, dust‐free, and utterly safe from contamination.
High-pressure polyurethane pneumatic tubing. Our R745 tire changers come standard with high-pressure polyurethane pneumatic tubing that's constructed with a smooth, seamless bore to improve flow. The tire changer's tubing boasts a high abrasion resistance, as well as high burst tolerance and total kink resistance.
Specially engineered drive-belt. The convex sidewalls on the R745's drive-belt evenly disperse wear. As a result, the tire changer itself lasts significantly longer in your shop due to the improved belt support. Flex‐bonded cords and flex‐weave covers keep away contaminants and pollutants, such as water and oil, as well as weather conditions that are out of your control.
Maintenance-free gearbox. Ranger is proud to offer tire changers so well-constructed, you never have to service their gearboxes. The R745 tire changer is no different. Like our other models, it features an impressive oil and grease tank, which releases heat and better lubricates the components. Internal baffles work in conjunction with a constant-seating stress flange gasket to provide low temperatures through superior venting and zero fluid leakage.
Upfront controls. We keep our tire changer controls upfront and logically arranged for both speed and ease-of-use.
Aluminum pneumatic cylinders. To keep machine vibration and friction levels low and extend the life of your tire changer, Ranger optimizes the stainless steel and aluminum pneumatic cylinders. Specifically, we've made sure internal end-of-stroke cushions come included on each cylinder, protecting the seals, wear band, and piston rod. Each cylinder is continuously lubricated during use, further lengthening the life of your unit and strengthening our claim that Ranger makes the best tire changers in the world.
Alloy steel mount & demount head. The equi-dimensional shape of our mount and demount head lets you change tires without changing the position of the tool head. The tool head surface is manufactured micro-smooth, so mounting gliding tire beads into place is easy. Your tire changer is useless if it busts tires during routine operations, so our hardened alloy steel mount and demount head is specially designed to keep your tires safe at all times, even in the busiest shop environments.
All the extras come standard. We want you to have the means to clean, protect, and maintain your tire changer without having to spend extra or go out of your way. A large soap bucket and brush comes standard, along with turntable jaw covers, bead‐breaker blade boots, and mount / demount head covers. Everything can be stored right in the tire changer itself, so you're not losing things, searching around the shop, and ordering extras of what you think you've lost. To keep you swapping tires with the best of them, a steel tire iron and bead lever tool comes included with your purchase. You'll find it is an indispensable tool that every tire changer operator should be familiar with and capable of using during mount and demount procedures.
45mm spring assist hexagonal vertical tool shaft. A rigid 45mm spring assist hexagonal vertical tool shaft and hardened‐steel horizontal outrigger support arm keep the mount-demount tool head perfectly still during operations. This all but ensures you won't damage expensive wheels due to a loose or shifting tool head. The tire changer is fitted with linear guide bearings that make it easy to adjust both the vertical and horizontal wheel settings. These guide bearings are completely maintenance-free for the entire lifespan of your tire changer. The non‐flex horizontal arm boasts a hardened lower roller guide for controlled, balanced movements.
Tire inflator features. A pistol-type tire inflator with a sure‐grip clip‐on valve chuck has never been easier to operate and permits full-function, hands-free operation. The unit includes an inflation gauge with integrated air dump valve, water filter, oiler/lubricator, and air regulator for complete air system control.
Plenty of storage. Keep your shop clean, calm, and ready for anything. Your tire changer has enough storage to hold all provided tools and accessories, as well as other items you want nearby while you work. A tool tray/bin storage and traveling drop-center hold-down device are built in, along with an inflation restraint device for safety.
Optional motorcycle turntable clamps. If you need to service motorcycles, you need a set of optional motorcycle turntable clamps to accompany your tire changer purchase. They're rugged, dependable, and guaranteed to add versatility to your work efforts.
Ranger DST30P Wheel Balancer – One-Spin Precision, Minimal Weight Placement
The DST30P accurately and efficiently calibrates wheel and tire configurations up to a 30" diameter. It contains many of the same working components as the DST-2420 but with one key difference: we took the 64-tooth magnetic transducer encoder from the DST-64T and built it into this smaller unit for minimal yet incredibly precise wheel weight placements.
The larger encoder features precision-cut square teeth to convert rotary position to a digital electronic signal, quickly achieving maximum profile and top-dead-center positioning. As part of our ongoing mission to supply shops and garages of all sizes, we reduced the unit's footprint by narrowing the chassis.
If you're looking for more precise measuring without the digital frills, add-ons, and increased body size of the DST-64T, the DST30P is the perfect wheel balancer for your shop. It's a cost-effective hybrid unit that offers the most precise readings you'll ever generate from a wheel balancer, with +/- 1 gram accuracy and 6–9 second cycle times.
Belt-Drive System. The belt-drive system helps keep the DST30P running smoothly over time. A single belt connects the motor and unbalance sensor, eliminating most maintenance costs during your wheel balancer's many years of service. Highly precise digital sensor technology enables the DST30P to double the potential placement for wheel weights while maintaining a space-conscious and highly cost-effective shop solution.
Dynamic, Static, and Performance Alloy settings. The DST30P features Dynamic, Static, and 3-Alloy balancing modes standard on each unit, featuring dual-plane calibration for all OEM configurations and performance wheels. A multi-user save function holds presets to increase productivity.
Ranger's proprietary Digital Sensor Technology offers a 16-digit digital sensor processor and single-chip technology for better speed and accuracy in your readings. OEM and performance wheels require this sort of sophisticated technology for proper balancing, so be sure any wheel balancer you choose is fully capable of servicing these specialized wheel types.
Single-chip circuit board architecture upgrades performance and reliability over multi-chip installations (e.g., latency reductions, substantial boost in device throughput). A speedy, dedicated hyper transport protocol lets data communicate with the micro-processor much faster than would otherwise be possible. Single-chip boards also use less power and better dissipate heat.
Multi-directional Quartz Piezoelectric Load Sensors. Dual-component piezoelectric quartz load sensors and digital rotation encoder measure longitudinal, transversal, and shear effects for multi-directional force unbalance detection. The piezoelectric force sensors are the most sensitive sensors we have ever made, offering superior stability and fatigue resistance for unlimited service life with your wheel balancer. High-rigidity quartz crystal sensors offer high frequency detection in all three measured directions.
Quick & Precise Setup. A diverse arrangement of hardened-steel mounting cones lets you work with virtually all wheel types, including most light trucks and SUVs. A rubber "quick-nut" bell adapter, with a non-marring rear cone mount pressure cup, holds mounted wheels securely in place and is sure not to damage tires or wheels during balancing procedures. The DST30P comes with 3 standard cones and 1 truck cone for comprehensive coverage.
Mounting Cone Package. The DST30P wheel balancer tooling package includes car and light truck cones, as well as a heavy-duty truck cone. This package includes three "smaller" cones: 1.75" - 2.75", 2.75" - 3.50", and 3.50" - 4.25", as well as one truck cone 4.50" - 5.00". Once an optional accessory, the 4.5" - 5.00" truck cone package is now standard.
Ergonomic Control Board & Easy-to-Read Display. An ergonomic control board and easy-to-read LED display has vibrant visual cues and keypad to improve efficiency and proper balancing techniques for faster floor-to-floor times. A simultaneous retrieval of static, dynamic, and ALU1/ALU2 data identifies weight placement configurations for a variety of wheel styles and designs with the simple push of a button.
Automatic Rolling Wheel Parameter Setting. The automatic rolling wheel parameter setting feature saves valuable time and minimizes errors. Low 180 RPM balancing speed and rapid six-second cycle time keep productivity high while automatic braking and automatic/electronic wheel braking hold wheels precisely at 12-o'clock for proper weight placement.
Gram/ounce selection and millimeter/inch selection. Automatic round-off with top-dead-center weight position indicator. Manual or automatic start when hood is lowered. Self-calibration function ensures long-term accuracy.
High-volume top weight tray and side shelf storage gives you room to inventory a wide variety of wheel weights and tools. The newly designed side shelf features an open-top design that accommodates Ranger Quick-Peel™ adhesive tape weight convenient bulk rolls. Side cone storage pegs keep accessories readily available. New "open-side" hood design allows for a broader coverage of tire shapes and sizes.
Precision-machined, hardened-steel 40mm shaft. The 40mm shaft provides exceptional rigidity and accuracy, while the quick-release hub nut dramatically reduces set-up times.
Side-position brake holds wheels at precisely 12-o'clock for proper weight placement.
