Ranger R980XR Swing-Arm Tire Changer - 110V, Includes Setup & Training

30-Inch Tire Changing Range in a Space-Smart Machine

The Ranger R980XR Swing-Arm Tire Changer is built for shops that service everyday passenger cars, pickups, SUVs, and light trucks but still want more capacity and refinement than a basic entry machine. With a 30-inch capacity, space-saving swing-arm design, and controlled electric turntable operation, the R980XR gives tire shops a fast, dependable platform for high-frequency tire changes.

Choose the R980XR when your shop wants a practical swing-arm tire changer that can install closer to the wall than many tilt-back machines while still offering professional wheel service features. It works well as a primary machine for common tire work or as a dependable backup to a more specialized assist-tower tire changer.

Space-Saving Swing-Arm Layout with Professional Controls

The R980XR is designed for service bays where floor space matters. Its swing-arm design helps the machine sit closer to the wall than a tilt-back tire changer, keeping the bay more open while giving technicians fast access to common tire service functions.

Ergonomic upfront controls are placed to reduce reaching, walking, and bending during operation. That matters in busy shops where smoother motion, faster setup, and less wasted movement can add up over a full day of tire changes.

High-Torque Turntable with Updated Motor Technology

A high-torque electric turntable helps the R980XR deliver faster tire removal and installation with reversible direction control. Controlled speed helps low-profile and run-flat beads relax during service, reducing the risk of damage compared with rushed or uneven operation.

The updated electric motor uses proven construction details such as rugged copper rotor design, high-quality bearings, thermal-cool epoxy insulation, and durable rolled steel frames. The result is a tire changer built for repeated daily use, not occasional light-duty work.

Non-Marring Service Tools and Built-In Shop Convenience

The R980XR includes non-marring mount-demount head options, storage trays, air preparation components, inflation controls, bead seating equipment, and helpful shop accessories that support efficient wheel service. These features make it more capable than a bare-bones machine while keeping the overall workflow simple.

For buyers comparing Ranger swing-arm tire changers, the R980XR is the step up from a simpler 20-inch platform when 30-inch capacity, added convenience, and broader shop coverage are required, without moving into the dual-assist or tilt-back models.
