Triumph NTC-950-2 Tire Changer + NTB-550 Wheel Balancer Combo
This combo pairs the dual-assist-arm NTC-950-2 tire changer with the NTB-550 wheel balancer — pro-grade tire-changing capability matched to a value-priced passenger balancer. The NTC-950-2's dual pneumatic assist arms make even the toughest tires easy to change — wide-profile, low-profile, and run-flats — while bead-blast technology shoots a powerful blast of air into the sidewall to help break and seat stubborn beads. The NTB-550 adds a foot-pedal wheel brake that holds the wheel steady while you place weights, directly improving balance accuracy.
Why It's Different: This is the value entry point into the dual-arm changer line. You get the full NTC-950-2 — same dual assist arms, bead blast, and 5,500 lb breaker found in the higher-priced combos — paired with the NTB-550 instead of the NTB-800. The 550 trades the auto-data-entry shortcut for a lower price, while keeping the foot-pedal brake that's the real accuracy improvement on a passenger balancer.
Best For: High-volume passenger and light-truck shops that want the dual-arm changer for run-flats and low-profile work, but don't need automatic-data-entry on the balancer or truck-grade wheel weight capacity. The best dual-arm combo on price.
⚠️ 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-950-2 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 NTC-950-2/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 (900 lb + 325 lb).
