The R980DP-L gives you two. That is the specification this machine is built around, and it is not a marketing count — a second pneumatic assist arm means both the upper and the lower bead can be controlled at the same moment, from two different angles, on the same wheel. On a stiff-sidewall or run-flat fitment that is the difference between managing a tire and wrestling one.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAround that sit a swing-arm layout for access and floor space, a brushless AC drive motor, and a full plastic wheel protector kit supplied as standard rather than sold as an accessory. It is aimed squarely at tire shops and service centres doing volume on modern wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhy the second assist arm changes the job\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThink about what actually goes wrong when a low-profile tire is demounted. The upper bead has to be held down in the drop-centre of the rim — the shallow well where the circumference is smallest — while the mount\/demount head travels round. If it climbs onto the rim flange instead, the bead is being stretched over its largest diameter, and that is where sidewall damage happens. One assist arm can hold that upper bead. Two can hold it while a second component works the lower bead or steadies the assembly, so nothing has to be improvised with a bar.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe supporting tooling follows the same logic. A traveling drop-centre tool moves with the work and keeps a low-profile or run-flat bead in the well. Bead mount helper rollers stop the bead wandering back out of position once it is set. A tire-handling hook acts, as the manufacturer puts it plainly, as an extra pair of hands for heavy or awkward assemblies — which on a modern light-truck wheel is not a joke.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eThe swing-arm layout and the space it saves\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eA swing-arm changer moves the tower arm away laterally rather than requiring clearance for a tilting mechanism, which keeps the working envelope tight and the machine's footprint modest for its capability. Overall product dimensions are 47\" L x 60\" W x 82\" H (1200 mm x 1530 mm x 2090 mm) — measure the height in particular, because the assist arms need their full travel above the turntable and a low ceiling or an overhead heater duct is the sort of thing that gets discovered on installation day rather than before it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eMotor options, and reading the spec sheet honestly\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe specification table lists this machine's motor as 208-240 VAC, 50-60 HZ, and the feature list also describes a 110V motor option for shops that want plug-and-play convenience instead of a dedicated higher-voltage drop. Both appear in the manufacturer's own data. Because the model designation and the motor rating are the sort of thing that gets transcribed inconsistently between a spec sheet and a feature list, confirm with us which motor configuration you are ordering before the machine is built into your bay plan — it takes one message and it decides what your electrician installs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhichever supply it runs on, the drive is a brushless AC motor with sealed electrical components. Brushless matters in a tire bay for a mundane reason: there are no brushes to wear out and no brush dust to accumulate, in a room that is already full of rubber particulate and lubricant mist. Sealed enclosures keep the same dust and moisture out of the wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eClamping and capacity, in the numbers that matter\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eInternal rim clamping runs 9\" - 30\" (254 mm - 762 mm) and external rim clamping 9\" - 26\" (229 mm - 660 mm), with the adjustable, non-marring RimGuard clamps holding wheels across that span without marking them. Maximum tire diameter is 50\" (1,270 mm).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTwo capacities are easy to overlook and are worth checking against the work you actually do. Turntable tire width capacity for mounting is 4\" - 15\" (102 mm - 381 mm). Bead breaker tire width capacity for demounting is 1.5\" - 13\" (38 mm - 330 mm). Those are different ranges for different operations, and the demounting figure is the one that governs how wide a tire the breaker blade will take.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eBead breaking, seating and inflation\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eBead loosening uses a large stainless-steel cylinder driven by bilateral pneumatic accelerators, so the blade moves at speed in both directions rather than dawdling on the return. The blade itself is multi-axis adjustable, which is what allows one setting regime to cope with fitments whose beads sit in quite different places. The bead-breaker arm is box-frame construction, chosen for stiffness under an off-centre load rather than for weight.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSeating is handled by the TurboBlast system: a single high-pressure burst of air between tire and rim, which seats a bead cleanly instead of encouraging the operator to improvise something dangerous. Inflation is hands-free through a foot-pedal inflator with a clip-on valve chuck, so both hands stay on the wheel. Industrial-grade die-cast zinc and aluminium control valves and kink-resistant high-pressure polyurethane tubing carry the air, which is the unglamorous half of why a pneumatic machine either keeps its speed for years or slowly loses it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eProtecting the wheel\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe hardened steel mount\/demount head has a micro-smooth face so the bead glides across it. For alloy, powder-coated and high-end rims there is a protective polymer head and a mounting head plastic protector kit included as standard — plus polymer covers and inserts for the RimGuard clamps and boots for the bead-breaker blade. That combination means every point where the machine touches a customer's wheel can be non-metallic. On a shop's most expensive comeback risk, having that kit in the crate rather than on a parts order is the practical difference.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePerfect for\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDedicated tire shops\u003c\/strong\u003e running volume on low-profile, run-flat and stiff-sidewall fitments.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDealership and franchise service departments\u003c\/strong\u003e, where marking an alloy wheel is not an acceptable outcome.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePerformance and custom wheel specialists\u003c\/strong\u003e handling large-diameter wheels with expensive finishes.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBusy general repair shops\u003c\/strong\u003e that want one machine to cover everything from a compact spare to a light-truck fitment.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat is in the box\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDual pneumatic assist arms with traveling drop-centre tool and bead mount helper rollers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTire-handling hook\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdjustable non-marring RimGuard wheel clamps\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHardened steel mount\/demount head and a protective polymer mount\/demount head\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMounting head plastic protector kit — clamp covers and inserts, bead-breaker blade boots, head covers and inserts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHardened steel tire iron and bead lever tool\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLarge soap bucket with brush\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTurboBlast bead seating system and hands-free foot-pedal tire inflator\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eAssist\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eDual pneumatic assist arms, swing-arm design\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eInternal rim clamping\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e9\" - 30\" (254 mm - 762 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eExternal rim clamping\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e9\" - 26\" (229 mm - 660 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eTurntable tire width (mounting)\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e4\" - 15\" (102 mm - 381 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eBead breaker tire width (demounting)\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e1.5\" - 13\" (38 mm - 330 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eMaximum tire diameter\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e50\" (1,270 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eMotor (spec table)\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e208-240 VAC, 50-60 HZ, brushless AC\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eDrive system\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eElectric \/ air\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eProduct dimensions\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e47\" L x 60\" W x 82\" H (1200 mm x 1530 mm x 2090 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCertification and compliance, stated honestly\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe product data we hold for this machine claims no third-party safety listing, and we will not imply one on its behalf. Some insurers, fleet contracts and local jurisdictions require shop equipment that carries an independent test-house listing — issued by an outside laboratory, which is a different document from a manufacturer's own declaration of conformity. If that is a condition you have to satisfy, read what your paperwork actually asks for before you order, and ask us if you would like help matching the wording to a machine.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eShipping and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis machine ships as freight within the lower 48 states. Unloading is arranged at your end — a forklift, a dock with a pallet jack, or a collection you make from the carrier's terminal — so settle which of those applies before the delivery is scheduled. Residential delivery is a separate service from a commercial dock and carries a residential fee, quoted live at checkout. Inspect the crate before you sign, and write any damage onto the bill of lading while the driver is present; a clean signature is extremely difficult to undo later.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eCoverage follows the manufacturer's published warranty document for this product, and we will send you the current version before you order if you ask for it.
