The Ranger RD-9G has a translucent polyethylene tank, so the fluid level is something a technician reads from across the bay rather than something they discover when it comes back up the funnel. That single design choice is why this drain suits a bay that is genuinely busy: nobody has to lift a lid, tip it, or guess.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is a 9-gallon upright drain on four casters, with a telescoping tube that adjusts from 32\" to 64\" and an 18\" funnel carrying a contamination screen. It is built for the routine work a service bay does all day — engine oil, gear oil, transmission fluid, coolant drains — in a shop that changes fluids often enough to care about the process but does not need a bulk evacuation system.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eThe screen in the funnel is the part that saves you a callback\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe funnel on the RD-9G carries a built-in contamination screen. It is a small feature with a disproportionate payoff. Everything that falls out of a drain plug hole ends up in that funnel: the plug itself, its crush washer, the odd filter gasket, a broken clip. Without a screen, those parts go into the tank, and from there into your waste-oil container, where you will never see them again. With a screen, they sit on top where the technician can see them. If you have ever had a car go back on the lift because the drain plug went down with the oil, you already understand what that is worth.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe screen also keeps the pour path clear. When the tank is emptied through the easy-pour spout, an unobstructed fluid path is the difference between a controlled pour and a mess on the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eHeight range, and what it actually reaches\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe tube telescopes from 32\" up to 64\" (813 mm to 1,626 mm). The low end matters as much as the high end. At 32\" the drain slides under a car that is only a little way up — on a mid-rise, on ramps, or on a two-post that has just cleared the tyres — which is the position most oil changes are actually done in. At 64\" it reaches up under a raised pickup or a van on a four-post, where a low drain simply cannot get the funnel near the sump.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe tube is described as non-corrosive, which is the right specification for a part that spends its working life with hot used oil running down it. A telescoping section that corrodes is a telescoping section that stops telescoping.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eMoving it, filling it, emptying it\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe drain rides on four swivel, ball-bearing casters, so it turns in place instead of being dragged sideways across a floor. Built-in hand grips give you somewhere sensible to hold it, and the wide body keeps the centre of gravity where you want it once there is fluid in the tank. Empty, the unit is light — the fact sheet gives a shipping weight of 14 lbs. (6 kg) — which is worth knowing if it has to be lifted into a service van or carried between bays.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe tank body is polyethylene, and the published feature list describes the construction as resisting dents, rust and corrosion. A steel drain clipped by a lift arm carries that dent for the rest of its life; a moulded tank generally does not. The clamp holding the funnel assembly is heavy-duty stainless steel, which is sensible, because that joint is the one most likely to be worked loose and re-tightened over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWill it fit your bay?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eTwo numbers decide this. The first is the height range, 32\" to 64\", measured on the telescoping tube — check it against the height your lift or ramps actually put the sump at, not against the maximum height your lift can reach. The second is the funnel: 18\" (457 mm) across, which is generous, but it still has to fit between a crossmember and a subframe on some vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe unit ships in a carton measuring 18\" x 16\" x 23\" (457 mm x 406 mm x 597 mm), which also gives you a fair idea of the footprint it will occupy in a corner. Confirming clearances, storage space and working height in your own bay is the buyer’s responsibility — we have published every dimension the manufacturer gives us so that check happens before you order rather than after.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eIndependent service shops\u003c\/strong\u003e running one or two bays, where a 9-gallon tank is emptied often enough to stay manageable but holds enough not to interrupt a job.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMobile and fleet technicians\u003c\/strong\u003e who need a drain that goes in the van — the low empty weight and the casters both matter here.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHome and enthusiast garages\u003c\/strong\u003e with a lift or ramps, where the alternative is a shallow pan and a steady hand.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDealership prep and reconditioning\u003c\/strong\u003e, where several cars a day get a fluid service and the screen catches the hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWhat you receive\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe drain arrives as an assembly: the translucent polyethylene tank on its four casters, the telescoping tube with its stainless steel clamp, and the rugged funnel with the contamination screen fitted.

For a portable fluid-handling accessory that is unremarkable. It matters only if you work somewhere that requires listed equipment as a condition of insurance, of a fleet contract, or of a municipal shop policy. If that is you, tell us before you order and we will go back to the manufacturer for documentation rather than guess on your behalf.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eShipping and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe ship within the contiguous United States. This item ships free, so there is nothing to add at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf your order arrives on a freight carrier rather than a parcel service, somebody has to be present to receive it, and you need either a way to get it off the truck or the option of collecting from the carrier’s terminal. Residential delivery is a separate service and carries an additional fee, which is shown at checkout. Whatever turns up, inspect it before you sign: note a crushed corner, a tear or a missing carton on the delivery receipt at the moment of delivery. A clean signature makes a damage claim very hard to win afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eRanger publishes one warranty document covering its product line rather than a separate term printed on each item, and we hold the current copy. We have deliberately not quoted a period here, because the fact sheet for this drain does not state one and a warranty length is not a number worth guessing at. Ask us and we will send you the document that applies before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOne practical warning applies to any claim: do not take the unit apart. Stripping a product down to diagnose it yourself, before a claim has been opened, is the single most common reason a warranty claim is refused. Call, text or chat with us first and we will tell you what the manufacturer needs to see.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"divider\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-ew8kwapfc4\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/golden-bar.png?t=1681903157\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"kd-main-product-details-container\" class=\"kd-main-product-details-container\"\u003e \u003ch3 class=\"h3 accordion\"\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-product-feature-continer kd-flex-row-2\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-prouduct-feature-item kd-prouduct-feature-content\"\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLightweight for easy portability\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSafe and easy to use\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWide body\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTough construction will resist dents, rust and corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty stainless steel clamp\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNon-corrosive telescoping tube\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEasy-pour oil spout for simple evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in hand grips\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e4 swivel, ball bearing casters\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTranslucent polyethylene tank for easy viewing of fluid level\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRugged funnel with built-in contamination screen\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"divider\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-ew8kwapfc4\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/golden-bar.png?t=1681903157\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"kd-main-product-spec-container\" class=\"kd-main-product-spec-container\"\u003e \u003ch3 class=\"h3 accordion\"\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-product-spec-continer kd-flex-row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-prouduct-spec-item\"\u003e \u003ctable border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd align=\"left\" width=\"50%\"\u003eFunnel Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd align=\"right\" width=\"50%\"\u003e18\" (457 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd align=\"left\" width=\"50%\"\u003eFluid Capacity\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd align=\"right\" width=\"50%\"\u003e9 gallons\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd align=\"left\" width=\"50%\"\u003eAdjustable Height\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd align=\"right\" width=\"50%\"\u003e32\" - 64\" (813 mm - 1,626 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd align=\"left\" width=\"50%\"\u003eShipping Weight\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd align=\"right\" width=\"50%\"\u003e14 lbs.
