Ranger’s Updated and Incredibly Advanced Tire Changer

Looking to save time? An R80EX tire changer is a must-have machine for busy shops that don’t have a minute to waste. A multi-profile traveling drop-center tool, top bead assist rollers, dual lower bead lifting discs and a nylon non-marring wheel restraint device are important tire shop tools designed to dramatically reduce effort, increase safety and help minimize operator fatigue. A large 3?4 in. capacity turntable with adjustable hardened-steel RimGuard™ wheel clamps helps broaden the service range, so you can handle virtually any wheel that rolls in your shop. Explore this tire machine if your shop life demands a tool that will generously handle round-the-clock use and abuse.

Adjustable RimGuard™ wheel clamps

Ranger’s trademark wheel clamps feature internal and external multi-teeth jaws.

Advanced clamp positioning

Variable clamp positioning makes wheel service simple, perfectly controlling the wheels when clamping them. Operators have the freedom to freely and precisely position clamps within the entire clamping range. There’s no need for the clamps to cycle the full range.

Easier bead lubrication

A geometric tabletop provides for easier bead lubrication and allows operators to make visual inspections of the lower bead during mounting and inflation procedures.

Power-controlled bead loosener

A bilateral, power-controlled bead loosener features single-lever control on the shovel handle. This ergonomic design eliminates traditional foot-pedal controls that often force technicians into unbalanced working stances when loosening beads. Designed for maximum comfort, efficiency, safety and ease of use, this valuable feature helps deliver additional power, speed and control, especially when servicing large or wide assemblies.

Adjustable bead loosener shovel blade

A multi-axis and adjustable bead loosener shovel blade helps accommodate a larger variety of tire and wheel combinations.

100% stainless-steel bead loosener cylinder

No more worrying about moisture contamination from corrosion due to air source condensation. The stainless-steel cylinder is completely resistant to chemical erosion, rust and other damaging effects of weather over time.

Dual-flange bead loosener

The oversized axle minimizes blade flex and improves durability.

Enhanced bead-breaker arm

The tire changer’s arm features a rugged box frame construction that increases strength and ensures years of dependable service and performance.

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. 

Balanced flywheel

A balanced flywheel helps the machine run smoothly, reduces vibration and helps minimize associated stress on other machinery components.

Simple foot-pedal control

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. Foot-pedal control valves feature multi-link rod connections for non-binding plunger movement and precise bilateral control.
