The new R980ATF from Ranger Products, a division of BendPak Inc.,offers a variable speed tire changer that performs on a wide variety of wheels, including virtually all OEM and performance tire and wheel configurations, according to the company. 

The R980ATF is equipped with a variable-speed motor and gear box that work systematically at multiple speeds allowing operators to match turntable rotational speed with varied tire and wheel combinations.

"It services wheels up to 25” in diameter and has multiple power assist tools to help technician’s service low-profile tires. Plus it’s a NextGen series machine so you know it has all the best parts and is designed to last.”
