Ranger R745 Tire Changer - 21" Swing Arm Tire Machine for Passenger and Light-Truck Wheels
The Ranger R745 is a rigid-tower swing-arm tire changer built for high-volume tire shops, gas stations, roadside operations and personal garages. Featuring a 45 mm hexagonal vertical tool shaft, pneumatic bead breaker, and internal/external clamping from 10" to 21", the R745 handles passenger cars, daily commuters, spares and trailer tires with ease. Powered by a 110/220 VAC single-phase motor with an air requirement of 140-165 psi, this tire changer delivers fast, reliable wheel service backed by Ranger's 2-year structural / 1-year components warranty.
Ranger R745 Features
Rigid Tower with 45 mm Hexagonal Vertical Tool Shaft
A rigid 45 mm spring-assist hexagonal vertical tool shaft and hardened-steel horizontal outrigger support arm keep the mount/demount tool head perfectly still during operations. Linear guide bearings allow easy vertical and horizontal adjustments and are completely maintenance-free for the life of the machine. The non-flex horizontal arm includes a hardened lower roller guide for controlled, balanced movements, virtually eliminating the risk of damaging expensive wheels.
High-Torque Electric Turntable with Reverse Control
The R745's turntable features faster operating speeds and reverse-direction control for easier tire swaps. This is especially useful for low-profile and run-flat beads that need time to relax, reducing the risk of tire damage during service. Dual pneumatic cylinders power the internal/external clamping system, securing wheels from 10" to 21".
Enhanced Pneumatic Bead Breaker Blade
The R745 is equipped with an advanced bead breaker blade engineered for superior mechanical strength and years of dependable service. A rubber bump stop ensures a smooth arm return, reducing shock loading and minimizing wear on the pneumatic cylinder and other moving parts.
Maintenance-Free Gearbox
Ranger's sealed gearbox never requires servicing. An oil and grease tank releases heat and lubricates internal components continuously. Internal baffles work with a constant-seating stress flange gasket to provide low operating temperatures through superior venting and zero fluid leakage.
Alloy Steel Mount and Demount Head
The equi-dimensional shape of the hardened alloy steel mount/demount head lets you change tires without repositioning the tool head. The micro-smooth surface allows tire beads to glide into place easily, keeping your tires safe during routine operations - even in the busiest shop environments.
Sealed and Protected Components
Every main-lead electrical terminal, auxiliary switch and motor enclosure is air-tight, dust-free and sealed from contamination. High-pressure polyurethane pneumatic tubing with a smooth, seamless bore provides excellent flow, high abrasion resistance, burst tolerance and total kink resistance. 100% forged steel foot pedals are lightweight, durable and resistant to chemicals and corrosion.

Does the R745 require professional installation?
Professional installation is recommended but not strictly required. The machine ships with a detailed installation and operation manual. A licensed electrician should handle the electrical connection. Proper installation ensures safe operation and helps maintain your warranty coverage.
What warranty does the Ranger R745 come with?

The R745 ships via freight at a shipping weight of 466 lb. Free freight shipping is included to commercial addresses in the 48 contiguous United States. A forklift or loading dock is recommended for unloading. Always inspect all packages for damage before signing the bill of lading.
Can the R745 service motorcycle tires?
Yes, with the addition of optional motorcycle turntable clamps. These clamps are sold separately and allow the R745 to securely hold motorcycle wheels during tire changes, adding versatility to your shop's service capabilities.
How does the R745 compare to more advanced Ranger tire changers?
The R745 is Ranger's swing-arm tire changer designed for straightforward, high-volume tire work on passenger cars and light trucks. It does not include leverless or power-assist features found on Ranger's more advanced models. If you primarily service standard passenger and trailer tires and value speed and simplicity, the R745 is an excellent choice. For low-profile, run-flat or larger specialty tires, consider upgrading to a leverless model.
Does the R745 gearbox require maintenance?
No. The R745 features a maintenance-free gearbox with an internal oil and grease tank that continuously lubricates components. Internal baffles and a constant-seating stress flange gasket maintain low temperatures and prevent fluid leakage, so you never need to service the gearbox.
What is the return policy for the R745?
Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery. The product must be unopened and in its original packaging with proof of purchase. A 20% restocking fee applies, and the buyer is responsible for return freight costs.
Can the R745 handle run-flat tires?
The R745's high-torque turntable with reverse-direction control is designed to work with low-profile and run-flat beads. The reverse function gives stiff beads time to relax during the mounting process, reducing the risk of tire damage. For shops that frequently service run-flat tires, a leverless tire changer may provide additional ease of use.
