Newest Additions to Ranger’s Tire and Wheel Service Lineup

Ranger is your go-to for cutting-edge tire changers, wheel balancers, aligners, brake lathes, and repair tools that keep customers coming back. Whether launching a new shop or upgrading your current setup, Ranger’s advanced tech is built to meet your needs. Now, Ranger is introducing two new heavy-hitters: the LS45DS Sonar Wheel Balancer and the R980DP Tire Changer. With these commercial-grade powerhouses in your shop, you’ll be ready to tackle virtually any job that rolls in, boosting efficiency and performance like never before.

The Ranger LS45DS Sonar Wheel Balancer is the ultimate tool for high-volume and specialty automotive shops, designed to maximize speed, precision, and efficiency. Equipped with advanced sonar technology, it automatically detects wheel width, taking the guesswork out of weight placement. Ranger’s Laser-Spot™ Technology delivers pinpoint accuracy, ensuring flawless placement of both stick-on and clip weights, while intuitively guiding technicians to the correct position every time. This smart system reduces errors and comebacks, boosting productivity and reinforcing customer trust with every job.

Versatility is at the core of the LS45DS, offering dynamic, static, ALU (aluminum alloy), and HID (Hidden) Balancing Modes for any wheel type. Whether balancing steel or aluminum wheels, or even custom designs where hidden weights are preferred, the LS45DS delivers flawless results. Dynamic balancing ensures precision across both wheel planes, while static and ALU modes accommodate older models and aesthetic needs. HID balancing, specifically for high-end wheels, conceals weights behind spokes, maintaining a clean, polished look. With the LS45DS, shops can tackle any balancing job with confidence and efficiency.

Looking for a tire changer that can handle everything from commuter vehicles to race cars? The Ranger 980DP delivers with dual assist towers that make unseating stiff, low-profile run-flats a breeze. Its centering cone holds the bead in the drop-center for extra protection during external clamping, making it perfect for full-service repair bays and tire shops. With a high-torque electric turntable and foot pedal controls, you’re in complete command. If low voltage is more your speed, the R980DP-L model offers the same convenience features in a more energy-efficient package.

Rugged construction meets advanced engineering in the R980DP. Its traveling drop-center tool and swing-in bottom helper disc tackle tough sidewalls without damaging tires, while an updated electric motor ensures lasting durability with copper rotors and thermal-cool insulation. Stainless steel and aluminum pneumatic cylinders reduce machine vibrations, and a balanced flywheel minimizes strain for extended equipment life. From easy-to-reach foot pedals to vibration-dampening features, the R980DP is built for long-lasting, efficient performance in any high-demand shop.

The Ranger RB30T Truck Wheel Balancer is a beast built for heavy-duty action. Designed for commercial tire dealers and truck fleets, this machine is no ordinary balancer – it handles bus, truck, and OTR wheels up to 49” in diameter with ease. Powered by Ranger's proprietary Drive-Check™ technology, it performs a driving simulation to catch even the slightest imbalances. With precision so tight, you'll save time and money on weight corrections, while the 64-bit digital sensor tech delivers top-notch accuracy and efficiency for high-volume shops.

Durability meets innovation with features like a counter-weighted flywheel, polyester-aramid fiber serpentine belt, and a robust three-phase motor. The integrated wheel lift and pneumatic braking system make handling heavy wheels a breeze, while the LED indicators and touch-pad display keep things simple. Whether balancing light truck wheels or massive tires, the RB30T is your go-to for power, precision, and nonstop productivity.

Superior Tire Storage Solutions

Meet the Ranger TSR-2S Tire Storage Rack, the ultimate powerhouse in tire storage and shop organization.

Perfect for shops that juggle a range of tire sizes, the TSR-2S helps you keep a professional, clutter-free setup – letting you get down to business fast.

Flexibility is king with the TSR-2S. An adjustable top tier lets you customize your storage to fit compact tires, big truck rubber, and everything in between, maximizing capacity without crowding your floor. Plus, the built-in sign holder comes with three general sale service signs for an extra boost in pro-level shop appeal. With the Ranger TSR-2S, you’re not just getting a storage rack; you’re investing in a high-performance solution engineered for smooth workflow and serious durability.
