Left and right-side tower drop-center design
A powerful left-side assist tower with a multi-profile traveling drop-center tool, single lower bead lifting disc, and pneumatic non-marring wheel restraint device simplifies external mounting procedures. The right-side assist tower features dual power-drop top bead assist rollers, an additional bead-lifting disc, and sidewall roller for enhanced tire handling capability.
Tilt-back tower design
The tilt-back tower design provides greater clearance and access for tire removal and inflation, with a pneumatic-lock tool head for instant setup.
Stainless steel and aluminum pneumatic cylinders
Designed to reduce machine vibration and provide low friction, Ranger’s cylinders offer long life operation, featuring internal end-of-stroke cushions for added support.
Multi-function mount and demount head
The hardened alloy steel mount and demount head with a micro-smooth surface enables all changing functions in the same position, minimizing tire damage.
Standard wheel service accessories
Critical wheel service accessories come standard, including a large soap bucket with brush and a multi-piece plastic wheel protector kit.
Spring-assisted tool shaft
A rigid, 45 mm spring-assisted hexagonal vertical tool shaft, combined with a hardened-steel horizontal outrigger support arm, maintains perfect position of the mount-demount tool head, reducing the chance of wheel damage.
Guide bearings for all moving parts
Maintenance-free linear guide bearings in all moving parts allow easy adjustment of vertical and horizontal wheel settings.
Foot-controlled tire inflator
A simple-to-use tire inflator with foot-pedal operation and integrated air pressure dump valve enables hands-free operation.
TurboBlast™ bead seating
Ranger tire changers feature the TurboBlast™ bead seating system for fast bead seating, with a durable nylon discharge barrel and an eight-gallon surge tank.
Storage space
Ample storage space keeps tools and accessories organized and within reach.

Ranger LS43B 3D Quick-Touch™ Laser-Spot™ Wheel Balancer with 40 mm Shaft
Ultimate Speed and Unparalleled Precision
The Ranger LS43B wheel balancer efficiently handles wheels up to 43 inches in diameter, boasting an impressive average cycle time of just 7 seconds, making it one of the fastest and most reliable balancing machines ever engineered. The standout feature on this model is undoubtedly Ranger's exclusive 3D Quick-Touch™ Laser-Spot™ technology, which precisely pinpoints the optimal weight placement location at the 6 o'clock position for achieving a perfect balance. This technology streamlines the process, requiring only a single weight placement for most wheel and tire configurations.
Four Smart Reasons to Choose a Laser Wheel Balancer
1. Laser-Spot Technology
The incorporation of laser balancers, especially in high-volume shops, eliminates guesswork and speeds up weight placements. This results in cleaner balance checks after inboard and outboard weight placements, translating to fewer weights used and improved cost efficiency. The ALU modes, when selected with stick-on weights, facilitate easy placement at the 6-o’-clock position, while clip-on weights are intuitively positioned at precisely 12-o’-clock. Laser-Spot™ technology enhances weight placement accuracy, minimizing errors and reducing the need for re-balancing.
2. Automatic Wheel Data Entry
The LS43B features Ranger's innovative 3D Auto Data Entry technology, eliminating the need for manual input of wheel parameters. Retrieving wheel diameter, width, and offset distance is accomplished in an average of three seconds. The extendable DataWand™ effortlessly gathers outer-wheel information, while the inner data set arm detects the offset distance, ensuring highly precise digital sensor technology.
3. Automatic Braking
A dual-plane automatic electromagnetic braking system takes over after a quick wheel spin, automatically slowing, stopping, and holding the wheel in the correct position. This eliminates the need for a foot-activated brake with wheel-holding pedals, providing technicians with unrestricted movement for precise weight placements.
4. Multi-directional Quartz Piezoelectric Load Sensors
Equipped with dual-component piezoelectric quartz load sensors and a digital rotation encoder, the LS43B detects longitudinal, transversal, and shear effects for comprehensive force unbalance detection. These highly sensitive sensors offer superior stability and fatigue resistance, ensuring an extended service life.
Quick & Precise Setup
The self-centering, non-marring Quick-Nut and bell adapter set ensure proper wheel centering, reducing setup errors. This setup guarantees faster and easier wheel mounting, minimizing the risk of customer come-backs or wheel damage.
Mounting Cone Package
The LS43B comes with standard and heavy-duty mounting cones, along with a comprehensive accessory tooling package, covering both car and light truck applications, including a heavy-duty truck cone.
Tape Weight Feeder
An open-top side shelf accommodates a large roll of Ranger Quick-Peel™ adhesive tape weights, with a complimentary wheel weight starter kit included. The LS43B also features an automatic weight optimization system, calculating the minimum weight required for optimal balance.
User-friendly Operation
The anti-reflective, touch-pad display panel simplifies wheel data entry with tire and wheel assembly graphics, guiding technicians through each balancing procedure. The labeled operator function keys feature simple icons for easy identification and command execution.
LED Rolling Wheel Weight Displays
Bright LED indicators show weight positions as the wheel is rolled to exact top-dead-center, providing tiered weight placement indicators for precise weight placements and zero-on balancing.
