Ranger R980DP Dual-Assist Swing-Arm Tire Changer - 110V, Includes Setup & Training

Dual-Assist Tire Changing for the Hard Stuff

The Ranger R980DP Dual-Assist Swing-Arm Tire Changer is built for shops that need more control than a standard swing-arm machine can provide. Designed for high-volume tire shops, professional garages, and mobile service operations, the R980DP is aimed at low-profile tires, run-flats, high-performance assemblies, oversized truck wheels, mud tires, off-road setups, and other tougher wheel and tire combinations.

This is the swing-arm model for buyers who want extra assist power without stepping into a tilt-back tower platform. Dual pneumatic assist arms, a high-torque electric turntable, and a multi-axis adjustable bead loosener help technicians mount and demount difficult tires with more confidence, speed, and precision.

Dual Assist Arms for Low-Profile, Run-Flat, and Tough Tires

The dual pneumatic assist arms give technicians extra leverage and control when handling stiff sidewalls, run-flat tires, and high-performance wheel assemblies. A traveling drop-center tool helps hold the bead in place during installation, while bead mount helper rollers help prevent unwanted movement as the tire is worked onto the rim.

These assist features are the main reason to choose the R980DP over the R980XR. If your shop regularly fights stubborn sidewalls, luxury performance wheels, mud tires, or truck wheels, the R980DP gives operators more mechanical help during the moments that matter most.

High-Torque Turntable and Heavy-Duty Bead Loosening Power

The R980DP features a high-torque electric turntable drive with increased speed and reversible direction for faster, more controlled tire changes. The machine is available with high-torque 208 to 240V power for heavy-duty work or 110V convenience for shops that need plug-and-play versatility.

A high-power bead loosening system uses a large stainless-steel cylinder with bilateral pneumatic accelerators to deliver fast action in both directions. The multi-axis adjustable bead loosener blade helps the machine adapt to a variety of tire and wheel combinations, from aggressive off-road assemblies to performance wheels that need careful handling.

Durable Swing-Arm Construction with Operator-Focused Control

Ranger equips the R980DP with a rugged bead-breaker arm, spring-assisted hex tool shaft, hardened outrigger arm, reversible foot-pedal control, and durable service components built for demanding tire work. These details help keep the tool head stable, reduce unwanted movement, and support repeatable results across a wide variety of jobs.

For buyers comparing the tire changer lineup, the R980DP sits between simpler swing-arm machines and larger tilt-back assist models. It keeps the familiar swing-arm footprint while adding the help needed for tougher tires, higher-volume workflows, and service jobs where brute force alone is not a strategy.
