Tire Changers
R26EX Dual Power-Assist Tilt-Back High Performance 26” Capacity Tire Changer
Ranger R26EX tire changer
With a 26" wheel capacity and dual "power-assistants," the R26EX is the monstrous champion of tire changers.

    Now you can have 26" of external clamping performance without the clumsy adapters or cumbersome table-top adjustments. This is absolutely the fastest and most trouble-free way to service low-profiles, run-flats and high-performance alloy wheels. Designed with the operator's comfort and efficiency in mind, the model R26EX reduces fatigue and boosts efficiency. Perfect for high-volume tire shops where large, low-profile tires are a growing part of your business. The Model R26EX takes on the widest wheels and the most stubborn tires with ease. Features include an exclusive dual-pneumatic power assist capable of flexing even the stiffest sidewalls and a power taper roller for easy bead lubrication and mounting. A special total rim protection package protects even the most delicate wheels through the entire process. Complete with the optional versa-clamp and motorcycle adapters, the R26EX is the multi-assist tyre machine that meets all of your tire-changing needs.

    Geometric Tabletop Design
    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. 

    Traveling Drop-Center Top Mount Helper
    This powerful pneumatic drop-center tool dramatically reduces the effort required to change tough sidewall tyres. Technicians can concentrate on working safer and more efficiently instead of struggling throughout the process. Our exclusive traveling top-mount helper holds run-flats and low profile sidewalls in the drop-center for swift, precise mounting.

    Pneumatic Wheel Restraint Device
    Safety always comes first. We didn't cut a single corner when with the R26EX, especially when it comes to tire inflation. Features include: pneumatic wheel restraint, integrated pressure gauge, pressure limiter, clip-on air hose and air dump valve.

    Power-Assist Upper Bead Roller
    This time saving device is a essential when servicing performance wheels and tires. It allows easy bead and rim lubrication, aids in tool bar placement plus assists when mounting run-flat and low profile tires.

    26" External Wheel Clamping
    This mammoth tire machine handles the largest custom tire and wheel assemblies you can throw at it. No clumsy adapters or cumbersome tabletop adjustments are needed. Handles everything from simple standard steel wheels to large delicate custom alloy wheels. Multiple power-assist features allow you to change tires with minimal effort and maximum efficiency.

    Dual Power-Assist Mounting Towers
    Traveling pneumatic drop-center device, power-assist upper-bead roller, and dual lower lifting discs reduce operator fatigue.

    Designed to Perform and Built to Last
    Super-tough aluminum-alloy air cylinders, rugged welded steel body, heavy-duty cast-iron assist carriages and more make this one of the toughest, most durable and trouble-free tire machines you will ever own.

    Safe and Easy to Use
    It’s simple: our sensible ergonomic design means easier operation for you and your technicians. We’ve included features such as large anti-slip foot pedal controls; a high-powered jet-blast bead sealing system; storage trays for weights, tools and accessories; and a tabletop inflation system, all to get the job done as quickly and safely as possible.

    Tilt-Back Tower Design
    Press the front control pedal and the tower tilts back to provide greater clearance and access for tire removal and inflation. Pneumatic-lock tool head stays positioned on the tower return for instant set up for like sets of tires.

    Hi-Torque Electric / Air Turntable
    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 low profile and run-flat beads time to relax to reduce the risk of tire damage.

    Dual Swing-In Bottom Helper Discs
    A pair of "swing-in" bottom discs can be used to re-loosen stubborn bottom beads or provide lift and support for wide / heavy tires. Separate controls allow operators to lift tire in variable configurations.


    Foot Operation for Precise Control
    Bead breaking, demounting, mounting, jet-blast seating and tire inflation are all controlled by four front-mounted foot pedals
    .
