The R980X is easy to operate and durable
enough to withstand everyday
abuse—especially in a busy shop environment.
This extremely powerful tire machine
accommodates a wide variety wheels,
including virtually all OEM configurations,
as well as select performance and alloy
wheels. The powerful 2-HP energy-efficient
electric motor and gear box work
systematically at a controlled speed for
easy tire removal and installation.
Ergonomic controls are sensibly placed to
minimize excessive reaching, walking and
bending. The result is more jobs completed
per day and a large increase in profits.
Large storage trays provide ample space for
weights, tools and accessories.
As an
added bonus, the reversible direction gives
the operator the option to back up in the
event of turntable stalling, and the
geometric turntable itself is designed for
easier bead lubrication and visual
inspection of the lower bead. Servicing
performance wheels and tires has never been
this easy.
Massive Wheel Clamping Range
The Ranger R980X provides an expanded
external wheel clamping range from 10" up to
23" giving you the ability to work
efficiently on a variety of wheel styles and
sizes.
Maximum Power And Control At
Every Step
The R980X tire machine has
conveniently-placed foot pedals to give
operators precise control at all times. The
smooth, effortless power delivery of the
2-HP motor provides multi-speed install
performance—even on tires with stubborn
beads.
Powerful Bead Breaker
Our multi-position sculpted-blade bead
breaker loosens even the most stubborn and
awkward tires. The stainless steel cylinder
bore maintains sealing efficiency and
longevity for improved performance and
constant power.
RimGuard™ Technology
The Ranger R980X Tire Changer features an
active multi-position RimGuard clamping
system that handles expensive wheels with
the greatest care, so there’s minimal to no
damage and an incredible boost to
efficiency. Active, multi-position RimGuard™
wheel-clamps provide both internal and
external clamping with an increased range
for greater wheel handling capabilities.
Wheel Protection Package
Every Ranger R980X comes equipped with the
necessary wheel-protection tools to shield
wheels during all demounting and mounting
procedures. Bead loosener socks, clamp
covers and tool-bar covers offer protection
against metal-to-metal contact at all stages
of wheel service.
High Torque, Power-On-Demand,
Geometric Turntable
The high torque turntable output gives
operators power-on-demand control for
increased protection of wheels and tires
during every mounting and dismounting step.
Reversible direction gives operators the
ability to back up in the event of turntable
stall during stubborn bead installation. The
geometric turntable provides for easier bead
lubrication and visual inspection of the
lower bead when servicing high-performance
wheels and tires.
Works at a controlled speed for easy tire
removal and installation. Reversible
direction gives operators the ability to
"back up" in the event of "jam ups". Precise
speed gives beads time to relax to reduce
the risk of tire damage. The exclusive shape
of our geometric tabletop is a "must have"
when servicing high performance wheels and
tires. It provides for easier bead
lubrication and allows operators to make
visual inspections of the lower bead during
mounting and inflation procedures.
Powerful Bead Seating & Inflation
Ranger tire changers feature the renowned
TurboBlast™ bead seating system that blasts
a powerful air burst between the tire and
rim to help seat stubborn beads fast. A
durable, non-marring nylon discharge barrel
features a contoured tab that locks securely
on the edge of the rim for better control
during air discharge between the tire and
wheel. A welded-steel, eight-gallon surge
tank is larger than competitive models for
all the inflation power you need, when you
need it.
Manual Swing Arm
The swing arm assembly features a
spring-assisted, easy-to-adjust horizontal
tool head with vertical height-adjustment
locks.
All The Extras Come Standard
We give you an integrated air regulator,
water separator, airline lubricator, soap
bucket with brush, inflation gauge, alloy
steel mounting head and an assortment of
mounting head and tool bar plastic covers to
protect even the most delicate wheels.
