Description
Overview
The BendPak Ranger R26FLT is a heavy-duty truck tire changer that demounts and mounts tubeless truck, bus, agricultural, and off-road tires with rims from 14 inches to 26 inches. A portable joystick control unit lets one operator run the machine from the best vantage point.
This is a dedicated commercial machine, not a passenger changer with bigger cones. A super-duty electric motor drives a bi-directional hydraulic system through a self-centering clamping chuck, so high-volume tire shops and fleet bays get short floor-to-floor times on large wheels without fighting the equipment.
Key Features
- 14 to 26 inch rim range - handles truck, bus, agricultural, and off-road wheels up to a 63 inch tire diameter and 31 inch tire width.
- Self-centering hydraulic clamping chuck - clamps from the center bore or the inside of the wheel.
- Super-duty electric and hydraulic drive - a 3 HP, 220 VAC bi-directional motor delivers smooth torque under load.
- Portable joystick control unit - the operator monitors and runs the machine from the safest angle.
- Single-piece frame - welded steel body with armor-plated bead-breaker disc for rigidity over years of service.
