The Ranger RX3040: The All-New Tire Changer That Changes Everything
March 1st, 2010
After eight months of development, testing and planning, we’re proud to announce that starting today the all new Ranger RX3040 Tire Changer is available for sale by your preferred distributor!
The automotive service industry has been buzzing about this revolutionary new tire changing system ever since the product was showcased at AAPEX ‘09. It’s been a little over three months since the big reveal and we know that many automotive pros have been aching to get their hands on this touchless tire changing wonder. Well ladies and gentlemen, the wait is officially over.
Now you can finally work with the most advanced tire changer on the planet, the Ranger RX3040 RimGuard™ Touchless Tire Changer. With this new tire changer, there’s no longer a need for levers, bead locks, clumsy toolbars, tire irons or backbreaking manual labor—the RX3040 literally does all the heavy lifting for you. Just roll the tire onto the side tire trap and step on the lift pedal. From there the tire is seamlessly raised and positioned onto the tire changer work table. All you have to do is rotate the tire slightly to fit the alignment pin and screw down the no-mar “Quick-Nut” to keep the tire locked into place. Until the old tire is removed and rolled away and the new tire is in place, this is absolutely the last time an operator needs to touch the tire or wheel with their hands when using the RX3040 RimGuard™ Touchless Tire Changer.
With the wheel properly positioned on the raised tire changer work table, the powerful bead breaker rollers engage both the top and the bottom of the wheel to loosen even the toughest side wall. The best part? The tire changer operator doesn’t even need to crouch to ensure bead breaker roller alignment. The RX3040 RimGuard™ Touchless Tire Changer features an extremely helpful easy view camera that feeds directly into a large LCD monitor, so you can view everything that’s going on under the tire at a comfortable standing height.
Tire removal has never been easier. With the RX3040 Tire Changer’s Target-Lock precision joystick and button controls, the tool head pulling tip and mounting tip arm is easily positioned exactly 1/8” away from the edge of the wheel. There’s no guess work here, the tooling arm goes exactly where you point it. Once the edge has been discovered, the Target-Lock™ tool head employs position-sensing data to generate exact coordinates to perfectly place the underside tool at the push of a button. Combined with the Ranger RimGuard™ Technology, a single automatically operated reversible tool head mounts and demounts tires without the need for touching. The RX3040 comes standard with a durable Nylon tool head or a hardened steel tool head with Nylon inserts—it’s completely up to you which one you use.
There’s plenty more features to explore on this phenomenal new tire changer from Ranger. Learn about them all on the official tire changer product page. Just don’t wait too long to order yours. This sophisticated tire machine is so simple to operate that even the most unskilled layman can master its functions in only a few full run-throughs. As the hottest tire machine on the market today, the Ranger RX3040 Tire Changer will change more than just tires; it’ll change the way you look at wheel service forever.

I currently own and use in my home shop a Hunter Engineering TC-3700 tire changer, along with their GSP-9700 balancer. I am curious and interested in your RX3040 tire changer. I request a rep contact me at [Number Withheld by Admin] to educate me.
@ May 14th, 2010 at 09:55Hi Tom,
Thanks for your comment! We think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at all the killer conveniences the RX3040 Tire Changer by Ranger can over you. I’ve forwarded your request to our sales department and someone should be calling you shortly. I hope you don’t mind, but for your privacy we edited out the phone number you provided.
Thanks again!
@ May 14th, 2010 at 10:37Thanks.I think different tire changers allow technicians to replace tires on automobiles, motorcycles and heavy-duty trucks. New tire and wheel technology have improved certain tire changers to be able to change a low profile tire or a run-flat tire.
@ October 1st, 2010 at 13:55I just had the control handle of one of your competitors “touchless” units break off in my hand after just one week of use,or I should say uselessness. They would not listen when I recommended a Bendpak product. Maybe now they will.
