Leverless wheel service means increased
profits and decreased wheel damage
The Ranger RX3040 features the latest in touchless wheel-service
technology and provides your shop with the most advanced tire changing
capabilities on the planet. Put those tire irons and levers away because
you don't need them. The RX3040 is a hydraulic powered workhorse
designed to work on all wheels without damaging the rim and without the
use of clumsy toolbars, bead locks or tire levers.
Why risk the chance of damaging expensive wheels when you can go
touchless? With the Ranger RX3040, tire irons and levers become a thing
of the past. The unique reversible tool head effortlessly mounts and
dismounts the most stubborn tires with no wheel contact. Ergonomic
joystick control combined with a precision hydraulic actuator allows you
to inch the bead hook or lifting tip into position for gentle handling
of delicate alloy wheels. Take your pick; a durable Nylon tool head or
hardened steel with replaceable nylon inserts. Both come standard giving
you the option to choose just the right tool to make those delicate
services as simple as can be.
The Ranger RX3040 is a durable day-to-day performer with the
flexibility to service a wide variety of wheels with ease; including OEM
configurations and exotic performance wheels. The full-menu of time
saving features includes automatically operated bead breaker rollers
with controlled penetration and loads of power, a power-assist traveling
drop-center arm, and a power-drop assist roller that allows you to
change even difficult run-flats and low-profiles with minimal effort and
maximum efficiency. So whether you're dealing with standard steel
wheels or expensive custom alloys, you can tackle them with confidence.
No More Heavy Lifting
An integrated wheel lift with easy-guide rollers helps facilitate the
handling of heavy wheels and virtually eliminates operator injury.
Powerful Assistant Tools
A powerful pneumatic drop-center tool dramatically reduces the effort
required to change tough-sidewall tires. Workers can concentrate on
working safer and more efficiently. This must-have feature holds tire
sidewalls in the drop-center area of the wheel then follows the bead
around as the tire mounts. The reversible drop-center tool also doubles
as a convenient tire hook for lifting tires up and off the wheel flange,
reducing the effort required to demount the lower bead. A power-drop
top bead assist roller helps position top beads at an optimum position
during both removal and installation of tough sidewall tires.
Quick and Precise Set-Up
Tires are secured to the changer in the same manner as a wheel balancer
for user familiarity and super-fast set up times. A rubber base mount
combined with multi-size center cones and a patented no-mar "Quick-Nut"
makes mounting wheels fast and easy while reducing the risk of wheel
damage.
Wide Service Range
The Ranger RX3040 provides an expanded service range of 10" – 30" to 22"
wide, giving you the ability to work efficiently on a variety of wheel
styles and sizes.
Powerful Bead Breaker
Automatically operated bead breaker rollers feature controlled
penetration to easily loosen even the most stubborn and awkward beads.
RimGuard™ Technology
Ranger RimGuard™ Technology means expensive wheels are handled with
greater care, resulting in less damage and increased work efficiency. A
single automatically operated tool head mounts and demounts tires
without touching the wheel or requiring levers of any kind. The RX3040
comes standard with a durable Nylon tool head or a hardened steel tool
head with Nylon inserts.
Target-Lock Precision
Our exclusive Target-Lock™ button located on the joystick control
provides automatic locating of both the tool head pulling tip and the
mounting tip to an exact fixed point 1/8" away from the wheel edge. This
non-touch feature ensures that no contact is made with the wheel during
mounting and dismounting procedures. Precise position-sensing data from
the robotic upper bead roller generates the exact coordinates for the
Target-Lock™ tool head, making underside tool positioning as easy as
pushing a button.
Easy View Camera and LCD Monitor
The RX3040 features a built-in camera and a large, full-color LCD
monitor for a full view of
underside operations.
Maximum Power at Every Step
The RX3040 has conveniently-placed foot pedals to give operators precise
control at all times. The powerful turntable works systematically at a
controlled speed for easy tire removal and installation. The smooth,
effortless, power delivery of the 3-HP motor and 3000 PSI hydraulic
power unit provides multi-speed install performance, even on tires with
stubborn beads. Reversible direction offers operators the ability to
back up in the event of turntable stall during stubborn bead
installation.
Powerful Bead Seating & Inflation
A handheld turbo-blast nozzle allows technicians to direct a powerful
burst of compressed air precisely where needed to seat even the toughest
stubborn beads in seconds. A simple slide valve requires two-hand
operation to protect operators from accidental discharge. Integrated
tire inflation system features air-surge pulse inflation for faster
inflation speed and improved bead seating. A large, easy-to-read
pressure gauge with built-in pressure limiter and air dump valve
simplifies tire inflation.
European Technology Combined with Italian-Made Hydraulics
The RX3040 gets its muscle from an Italian-made rear-mounted hydraulic
power unit that puts out an impressive 3000 PSI. This high pressure
hydraulic power is harnessed specifically to control the wheel mount
pedestal movement, bead rollers and tool head operations. 3000 PSI
translates to over 10,000 pounds of combined bead breaker force and
massive power at the tool head. Having extra power where you need it
means stiff sidewall tires yield easily simplifying all mounting and
demounting procedures. The external rear mount design provides easy
access for service, while providing protection for the motor, manifolds
and pump components. The five-station hydraulic manifold revolutionizes
the RX3040 hydraulic control circuitry. Rather than using multiple
external manifolds and independent valve assemblies, the five-station
hydraulic manifold features Italian-made hydraulic solenoids with only
two moving components, eliminating all concerns related to on-site
adjustment, oil leaks or hydraulic component failure.
Precision Control Valves
The RX3040 features high-precision foot pedal control valves that will
withstand high-use in large volume tire shops. Aluminum-alloy valve
bodies with durable, corrosion resistant stainless steel spools are
combined with a high precision finish for maximum seal life.
Extra Wheel Protection
As added precaution, Ranger provides you with all the necessary tools to
ensure wheel damage is minimized during wheel service operations. Our
total-care package includes replaceable nylon inserts for the steel tool
head, replaceable nylon remount and dismount heads, rubber pedestal
cover, spare drop-center pull hook tool head and a no-mar Quick-Nut.
Mounting Cone Package
When you purchase a performance changer, you should receive a
performance tool package. We like to call our tooling package the Total
Performance Package with an added bonus. Not only do we give you our
standard car and light truck cones, we include our heavy-duty truck cone
as well. Our Total Performance Package includes three automotive and
light truck cones covering hub sizes 2.00-2.75, 2.75-4.00 and 4.00-6.00
and one heavy-duty truck cone that fits hub sizes 5.50 – 6.50.
Environmentally Responsible Power Delivery
As the world's premier manufacturer of automotive service products, we
take environmental concerns very seriously. We engineer our products to
work great and offer tremendous value, but also design them in a way
that reduces energy consumption and green-house gases. As part of our
ongoing "think-green" initiatives, the RX3040 features Auto-Shutdown
Technology which switches off key power system components after 15
seconds of inactivity. This proprietary power-saving technology shuts
off the pump and motor when the machine is at idle, representing
tremendous savings in energy-use and minimizing wear and tear on
critical operating components. Auto-Shutdown Technology also reduces
background noise, creating a more environmentally responsible workplace.
