BendPak Launches Ranger DST30PX Balancer to Speed Up Large Wheel Service
Ranger® Division of BendPak introduces the next generation DST Series wheel balancer, the DST30PX. As shops face an influx of larger OEM wheel assemblies and heavy aftermarket truck tires, older balancing platforms can struggle, slowing down the process. The Ranger DST30PX Professional Wheel Balancer is built to handle oversized wheels — and prevent bottlenecks — thanks in part to a new hood design, larger shaft, and overhauled structural chassis.
The robust new hood can accommodate a wider range of tire shapes and sizes, including oversized off-road and fleet tires, without time-wasting repositioning. The open-side design allows wider tires, aggressive offsets, and bulky sidewalls to slide in more easily, reducing setup time and enabling operators to position wheel assemblies up to 43 inches in diameter quickly and confidently.
Ranger has also reinforced the machine’s chassis and hood assembly to handle the added mass of larger assemblies without flexing, compromising alignment, or generating excess vibration. The additional rigidity helps maintain consistent measurements during operation for reliable accuracy. The rugged 40 mm shaft increases stiffness and accuracy for heavier wheels while supporting standard cones and accessories.
