Triumph NTC-950-1 Tire Changer + NTB-550 Wheel Balancer Combo
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).
