A large 26” capacity turntable combined with
powerful pneumatic assist towers means
you’ll safely mount stubborn, low‐profile
performance tires and wheels with ease. A
long list of time saving productivity
features include a multi‐profile traveling
drop‐center tool, a top bead assist roller,
dual lower bead lifting discs, and a nylon
non‐marring wheel restraint device. These
important tire shop tools dramatically
reduce the effort required to change
difficult, low‐profile tires, increase
safety, and help minimize operator fatigue.
Don’t bother with cumbersome adapters and
difficult tabletop adjustments. Ranger’s
R26DT tire changer is a quick and efficient
way to swap tires off wheels with sizes
ranging up to 26”. Ranger Products has
specifically constructed the R26DT with the
automotive service professional in mind for
increased comfort and performance. That's
just one reason why the R26DT Tire Machine
instantly makes tire work safer and
hassle-free. Some key features include a
power-assist arm and tilt-back tower for
increased clearance. The Ranger R26DT Tire
Machine is more than just a tyre
changer—it’s a life saver! If your busy shop
or garage specializes in larger, low profile
tires, have no doubt that the Ranger R26DT
is up to the task.
High-Torque Electric Turntable
A new high‐torque electric turntable drive
features increased speed and reversible
direction for quicker tire removal and
installation. Controlled speed gives low
profile and run‐flat beads time to relax to
reduce the risk of tire damage.
Improved Electric Motor
Features the best of proven technologies,
including rugged copper rotor
construction, stronger high‐quality ball
bearings, thermal‐cool epoxy insulation, and
durable rolled steel frames. All motors are
110‐208/230V and 50‐60 hertz capable.
Balanced Flywheel
A balanced flywheel helps the machine run
smoothly, reduces vibration, and helps
minimize associated stress on other
machinery components.
Exclusive Bead-Breaker Design
A completely new and proprietary
bead‐breaker design features bilateral
pneumatic accelerators for lightening fast
bead‐breaker speeds in both directions. A
100% stainless‐steel cylinder body means no
more worrying about moisture contamination
from corrosion due to air source
condensation. Other exclusive design
features include a multi‐axis, adjustable
blade for multi‐angle tire capacity, a
large, dual‐flange axle that eliminates
blade flex and premature failure, and
adjustable blade settings that help
accommodate a larger variety of tire and
wheel combinations.
Enhanced Bead Breaker Arm
Enhanced bead breaker arm features rugged
box frame construction that increases the
mechanical strength and assures years of
dependable service and performance. A large
rubber bump‐stop assures smooth return to
help reduce shock loading and minimize wear
on pneumatic cylinder, guides and associated
moving parts.
Pneumatic Control Valves
Industrial‐grade, 45‐micron, pneumatic
control valves feature die cast and machined
bodies constructed from zinc and aluminum.
High‐performance polyurethane seals and
self‐lubricating, Teflon® piston guides
provide increased service life and
performance at the highest level possible
within almost every imaginable working
condition. Valve plungers feature muffled
extrication ports that direct any dirt or
contamination accumulated on the outside
perimeter of the spool to be automatically
blown away each
time the valve goes into the release
position.
Forged Steel Foot Pedal Levers
Durable forged steel (instead of cast iron)
foot pedal levers will stand up to everyday
use and abuse in high‐volume tire centers.
Snap action spring return means precise and
controlled operation.

rod connections for non‐binding plunger
movement and precise bilateral control.
Sealed Tight
All main‐lead electrical terminals,
auxiliary switches, and motor enclosures are
sealed for air‐tight, dust‐free and
contaminationproof protection of terminal
leads.
High-Pressure Polyurethane Pneumatic
Tubing
Ranger Next Generation™ tire changers
feature high pressure polyurethane pneumatic
tubing with mirror smooth seamless bore for
exceptional flow rates, high abrasion
resistance, high burst tolerance and maximum
kink resistance.
Specially Engineered Drive-Belt
Specially engineered drive‐belt features
convex sidewalls to distribute wear evenly
while providing proper belt support for
improved service life. Flex‐bonded cords and
flex‐weave covers resist the effects of oil,
heat, ozone, weather and aging.
Maintenance-Free Gearbox
A newly designed, maintenance‐free gearbox
features a large oil and grease reservoir
that helps provide efficient heat
dissipation and improved lubrication for
longer service life. Internal baffles and a
constant seating stress flange gasket assure
positive, leak free venting. The rugged
gearbox enclosure is precision milled for
precise alignment of horizontal and vertical
bases and features precision helical gears
that operate much more smoothly and quietly
than typical spur gear transmissions. The
rugged housing provides maximum strength for
extreme durability under hard working
conditions and greater precision under load
and gear alignment. High‐strength, oversized
worm and worm gears are straddle mounted
between heavy‐duty tapered roller bearings
providing rugged dependability.
RimGuard™ Wheel Clamp
Durable, hardened, alloy‐steel RimGuard™
wheel clamps features internal and external
multi‐teeth jaws with vertical mounting
bolts that make replacement fast and simple.
Geometric Tabletop Design
The exclusive shape of our geometric
tabletop is absolutely necessary when
servicing high performance wheels and tires.
It’s there to provide simplified bead
lubrication and to make visual inspections
of the lower bead during mounting and
inflation easier than ever.
Double Assist Tower
A powerful double assist tower features a
multi‐profile traveling drop‐center tool
that holds stubborn sidewalls in the drop
center area of the wheel, and a single lower
bead lifting disc that can be used to unseat
stubborn lower beads or to elevate tires for
tool placement. A right‐side assist tower
features a power‐drop top bead assist roller
that helps position top beads at an optimum
position during both removal and
installation of tough sidewall tires. An
additional bead lifting disc provides even
more tire handling capability. A tire iron
slot built into the bead lifting discs gives
operators additional leverage for difficult
tire handling. These important tire shop
tools dramatically reduce the effort
required to change difficult, low‐profile
tires and helps minimize operator fatigue.
Up front trigger control and articulating
arm allows for variable tire and wheel
configurations. A heavy‐duty, tri‐flange,
cast‐iron assist tower carriage features
linear way bearings for durable
maintenance‐free operation.
26” External Wheel Clamping

and wheel assemblies 12‐1/2” to 26” without
the need for clumsy adapters or clamp
adjustments. From simple factory steel
wheels to supersized delicate customs,
multiple power‐assist features will help you
change tires with minimal effort.
Wheel Restraint Device
A pneumatic nylon non‐marring wheel
restraint device assures wheels are safely
secured to the turntable during inflation
procedures.
Up Front Controls

recue wear on seals, wear band and piston
rod. Permanent lubrication design provides
outstanding service life.
Alloy Steel Mount & Demount Head
A hardened alloy steel mount and demount
head has a unique equidimensional shape that
allows you to perform all changing functions
with the tool head in the same position. The
micro‐smooth tool head surface glides tire
beads effortlessly during mounting and
demounting procedures to ensure costly tire
damage is minimized.
All The Extras Come Standard
Important wheel service accessories come
standard like a large soap bucket with brush
and a multi‐piece plastic wheel protector
kit that includes turntable jaw covers,
bead‐breaker blade boots and specialized
mount / demount head covers to help protect

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.
