Ranger R76ATR Tire Changer, LS43B Wheel Balancer and Tape Wheel Weights — Complete Package

The reason to buy these three together rather than separately is the third item. The LS43B does not simply tell you how much weight to add; its Laser-Spot system projects a laser line onto the rim showing exactly where the outboard and inboard weights go — and the weight that belongs on that line is an adhesive tape weight, not a clip. Ordering the balancer without the tape weights leaves you with a machine that marks a placement you cannot yet fill. This package arrives with all three, so the bay opens for business on the day it is set up.

It is the whole tire station in one line item: mounting, balancing and the consumable that finishes the job.

R76ATR — Tire Changer, Tilt-Back, Right-Tower Single Assist

The tower tilts back rather than swinging, which is the feature that saves the most time across a mixed day of work: the duck head does not have to be reset between one tire-and-wheel combination and the next. On a machine that is adjusted a dozen times a shift, that adds up to real floor-to-floor time rather than a line on a specification sheet.

The right-hand tower carries a single power assist, which is what deals with stiff sidewalls — the low-profile and run-flat tires that defeat a bare swing-arm changer and tempt a tired technician into levering against the rim. RimGuard clamps extend from 10" to 30", giving a 30" clamping capacity and, just as importantly, protecting the finish on alloy wheels while they are held.

LS43B — Wheel Balancer with Laser-Spot placement and a 36 mm shaft

The LS43B is a 3D Quick-Touch balancer: wheel data is taken by touching the rim rather than typed in from a tape measure, which removes the commonest source of a bad balance — data entered slightly wrong and never questioned.

What it does with that data is the interesting part. Rather than reporting a weight and a clock position for the technician to estimate, the Laser-Spot system draws a laser line at the exact plane and position where each weight belongs, inboard and outboard. Weight placement accuracy is where balancing actually goes wrong: a correctly calculated weight put a little off-plane leaves a wheel that still shakes, and the customer comes back. Ranger states balances within hundredths of an ounce.

The shaft is 36 mm, which is the sizing to check against any adapters or cones you already own before the machine arrives.

Tape Wheel Weights — the consumable that finishes the job

Supplied as combination rolls of Quick-Peel adhesive steel wheel weights: 1400 pieces in 0.25 oz increments, 1/2" wide, 22 lbs. of weight in the box. Steel rather than lead, which is what has made this style of weight the ordinary choice in most jurisdictions, and the fine increment is what lets a technician use as little weight as the wheel actually needs instead of rounding up to the next available size.

Adhesive weights also sit behind the spokes on an alloy wheel where nobody sees them, which matters more to a customer than it does to a workshop — and it is a conversation you would rather not have after the fact.

Perfect For

• New tire bays — the reason this package exists: one purchase, one delivery, one point of contact.
• General repair shops adding tire service and unwilling to send wheels down the road.
• Alloy-wheel work — RimGuard clamping and hidden tape weights are both about the finish the customer inspects.
• Shops replacing an ageing changer and balancer together, where matching the pair is simpler than pairing a new machine with an old one.

What's in the Box

• One R76ATR tire changer — tilt-back tower, right-tower single assist, adjustable RimGuard clamps with 30" capacity.
• One LS43B wheel balancer — 3D Quick-Touch data entry, Laser-Spot weight placement, 36 mm shaft.
• Tape wheel weights — Quick-Peel adhesive steel weights, combination rolls, 1400 pieces, 0.25 oz, 1/2" wide, 22 lbs.

Specifications

This package listing does not publish machine dimensions, weights or electrical requirements for either unit, so we have not printed any. Ask us before you order and we will send the current specification sheets for both machines, so you can check the bay space and the supply properly rather than against a number we guessed.

Certification, honestly

Neither machine in this package carries a third-party safety-listing claim in its product data, and we are not going to write one onto the page. A manufacturer's own declaration of conformity is a different document from an independent laboratory listing, and some insurers, franchise standards and workplace inspectors ask specifically for the second on shop equipment.

If that is a requirement where these machines will be installed, tell us the requirement before you order and we will confirm what documentation Ranger issues for each item rather than let you assume it exists.

Shipping and delivery

This package ships as freight within the lower 48 states, free of charge. Note that it is more than one item, so expect more than one piece to arrive and check them off against the list above before the truck leaves.

Plan the unload in advance. The driver's obligation ends at the tailgate, so a forklift, a dock, or a pallet jack on level ground with a second pair of hands is what you want on site. Without any of those, take terminal pickup and collect the package from the carrier yourself. A home address is a residential delivery and carries a residential fee. In-person collection is also available from the pickup locations listed further down this page.

Inspect everything before you sign. Damage recorded on the bill of lading in front of the driver is claimable; damage found after a clean signature usually is not — and on a multi-piece shipment, a missing carton is far easier to resolve at the tailgate than a week later.

Warranty

The Ranger warranty document covering these machines is linked in the downloads on this page. The term and its conditions are set out there, and that document is what any claim is settled against, so read it rather than take a summary from us. If you want the position confirmed in writing before you buy, ask and we will get it for you.

One rule of ours protects a claim: if either machine develops a fault, leave it assembled and call us first. Once a tower, a shaft assembly or a control head has been opened, the failure sequence cannot be established, and a straightforward claim becomes an argument nobody wins.
