To get the space-saving benefits of the Ranger R980AT without the addition of an assist-tower, the R980XR is a perfect alternative tire changer. It's perfect for general repairs on a wide range of tires, including racing tires, pickup trucks and tire beads that won't put up much of a fight. Most repair shops service everyday commuter cars, pick-ups and SUVs. These vehicles have tires and wheels that are relatively easy to work with, so they don't require much in the way of features and add-ons. Such specialty tools are best left for working with aluminum wheels, run-flats and low-profile tires. Some shops simply want a space-saver that performs basic tire changes quickly and safely. The R980XR is ideal for such environments. It installs closer to the wall than a tilt-back style machine would be able to, so it stays out of the way, and the included non-marring duck heads are perfect for a wide variety of wheels. It's hard to go wrong with this model as your primary machine or back-up to your more sophisticated model.
