This combo pairs the commercial-style NTC-950-1 tire changer with the NTB-550 wheel balancer for a complete mount-and-balance station. The NTC-950-1 handles run-flat and low-profile tires with the help of a single assist arm, opens up to 28", and includes a Jet Blast inflator system and a powerful bead breaker. The NTB-550 balancer adds a foot-pedal wheel brake that holds the wheel steady while you place weights — directly improving balance accuracy. Together they let you service just about any passenger or light-truck vehicle that drives up.
Why It's Different: This combo matches the single-arm NTC-950-1 changer with the NTB-550's standout foot-pedal brake — a feature that improves weight-placement accuracy and isn't standard on every balancer in this class. It's the value middle ground: more capable than a bare-bones setup, without the truck-grade NTB-1200's price.
Best For: Home garages, hobbyists, and light-use shops servicing passenger and light-truck wheels that want the accuracy of a foot-pedal-brake balancer in a complete, bundle-priced station.
⚠️ Both machines require compressed air to operate — confirm your shop air supply before ordering. Both run on 110V.
⚠️ This is a passenger / light-truck combo. The NTC-950-1 handles tires up to 43" diameter and 15" wheel width, and the NTB-550 balances wheels up to 150 lb and 44" tire diameter — confirm your wheel sizes and weights are within rating. For truck-grade wheel weight (up to 350 lb), step up to the NTB-1200 combo.
⚠️ Bolt both machines to a level floor before use and always lower the balancer's safety hood before spinning a wheel. Install per the manufacturer's instructions.
⚠️ Tire equipment ships LTL with liftgate service included — the driver lowers the units to the ground at the back of the truck, but will not move them inside or assemble them. Two crates (820 lb + 325 lb).
Features
Assist Arm and Jet Blast for Run-Flats
The NTC-950-1's single pneumatic assist arm holds the bead down while you work, which is what makes run-flat and low-profile tires manageable without a second set of hands. The Jet Blast inflator seats beads that won't seal on their own, and the bead breaker delivers 5,500 lbs of force — the same breaker fitted to the dual-arm NTC-950-2.

Foot-Pedal Brake Holds the Wheel While You Place Weights
On lighter balancers the wheel creeps after the spin stops, so the weight lands a few degrees off the spot the readout showed. The NTB-550's foot-pedal brake locks it in position, which turns an accurate ±1 gram reading into an accurate result. It covers 10"–28" wheels up to 150 lbs in a 6 to 9 second cycle.

Both Machines on 110V, Tooling Included
Neither machine needs commercial wiring. The changer clamps 14"–26" outside and 16"–28" inside for tires to 43" and 15" wide, shipping with metal and plastic demount heads, clamp covers, a tire iron, and a lube bucket. The balancer comes with a safety hood, cone adapters, weight hammer, and rim caliper.

Both machines have been in daily production use for over 8 months. No mechanical issues on the changer, no accuracy drift on the balancer. Triumph builds equipment that holds up under commercial use and this combo has proven it.

the ntc-950-1 handles our tire volume without complaint and the ntb-550 balances accurately. both machines solid, both reliable, both backed by triumph's warranty. exactly what we needed to bring tire service in-house
J
Jericho I.
We compared this Triumph combo against a couple of Katool options at similar price points. Triumph's build quality and the specific combination of the 950-1 changer with the 550 balancer made sense for our shop's application. The choice has been validated by consistent reliable performance since setup.
I
Iliana O.
Triumph's 1-year warranty covers both machines in this combo individually. Having two warranted pieces of production equipment from a single purchase is the right way to set up a tire service operation. Good coverage on both sides of the workflow.
H
Huxley X.
The NTB-550 balancer handles our passenger car through light truck wheel range accurately. The measurement process is straightforward and our technicians produce consistent balance results without extended training time. Right-spec machine for our shop's volume and vehicle mix.
G
Gwendolyn J.
The NTC-950-1 changer runs on standard shop air supply without special pressure requirements. The bead breaking cylinder delivers consistent force on every tire in our lineup. Good reliable production changer for a shop doing regular daily tire volume.

Frederick K.
Both machines set up clean and were operational within an afternoon of delivery. The instructions are clear, the machines are logically designed, and there were no surprises during setup. Being ready for customer tires on delivery day was exactly what we needed

Right-sizing the balancer to our actual work saves money without sacrificing any capability we actually use. Smart purchasing decision.
D
Dashiell I.
Six months of daily use on both machines. Changer is mechanically solid and the bead breaking force handles everything we've put on it. Balancer reads consistently accurate and the 12-month warranty covers both units if anything comes up. Nothing has, but good to have the coverage.
C
Cecily O.
The NTC-950-1 handles our range of passenger and light truck tires without swapping arm kits or adjusting settings between vehicles. One configuration covers our full customer vehicle mix. Paired with the NTB-550 we have everything we need for complete tire service in one matched setup

Bowie X.
Triumph builds reliable tire service equipment and this combo reflects that consistency. Both machines perform as expected, both are well-built, and both carry Triumph's 1-year warranty. Solid entry into full tire service capability for any shop.

The combo pricing gave us both machines at a cost that made the investment straightforward. We compared buying separately versus together and the combo won financially. Matching machines from one manufacturer, one delivery, one installation session.

Zinnia K.
We added tire service to our brake and suspension shop with this combo. Both machines performed at a professional level from the start and our technicians got comfortable with both within a couple of days. The tire service revenue has been profitable from the first month.

Xander I.
The NTC-950-1 and NTB-550 together cover our complete tire service workflow. The changer handles our full rim size range cleanly and the NTB-550 balances accurately at a speed that keeps pace with the changer output. Both machines on standard shop power, both set up quickly, both performing reliably since day one.

It’s a well built snow plow with great workmanship. I am waiting for the snow to fall so I can put it to work. I appreciate the ease of ordering the snow plow and the promptness of delivery. Hats off to Blue Collar Planet for keeping me informed with phone calls and emails. Special thanks to Cams.

Could not ask for more from a two-post lift at this price. The 11,000 lb rating gives plenty of headroom for trucks and SUVs. Install was a weekend job and it has run trouble-free since.

This mid-rise scissor lift is perfect for our space. The frame is heavy and stable with no wobble at full lift. Ideal for a one-bay shop that needs flexibility.

The KT-T830 makes low-profile tires effortless. It handles large-diameter wheels that our old machine could not. Money well spent for a busy bay.
Greta J.

Outstanding tire changer, especially with the assist arm. The turntable clamps low-profile alloys without scuffing. The bead breaker blade has serious power for stubborn beads. Build quality feels heavy-duty throughout.

This combo set up our whole tire bay in one purchase. The changer's jaws and the balancer's cone set both feel well made. Footprint of both machines fits a single bay comfortably. Both arrived well packed and went together without drama.

The KT-X90E does exactly what a busy bay needs. Low-profile design slides under low cars easily. Ideal for a one-bay shop that needs flexibility.

This mid-rise scissor lift is perfect for our space. The frame is heavy and stable with no wobble at full lift. Perfect height for brake, tire, and suspension work. Ideal for a one-bay shop that needs flexibility.

Buying the changer and balancer together was the right call. Footprint of both machines fits a single bay comfortably. Both arrived well packed and went together without drama.

Drive-on, lift, done. Exactly what we needed. The 11,000 lb capacity handles everything from sedans to our 3/4-ton truck with margin to spare. It doubles as storage parking, which freed up a whole bay. Assembly took an afternoon with two people and went smoothly.
Nora J.
05/28/2026
Hands down one of the better purchases we have made for the bay. The four-jaw turntable centers wheels quickly and clamps securely. The carburized steel jaws hold the rim firmly without marring the finish. After hundreds of tires the only upkeep has been routine lubrication.
Cecilia T.

Love how portable yet sturdy this lift is. The frame is heavy and stable with no wobble at full lift. Feels much sturdier than its weight class suggests.
Ezra D.

Could not ask for more from a two-post lift at this price. Padded arm rests protect rockers and the telescoping arms reach awkward pickup points. A year in and it raises every vehicle dead level with no drift.
