Triumph NTC-950 Tire Changer + NTB-550 Wheel Balancer Combo
The cost-effective way to start up a wheel-service shop — Triumph's best-selling tire changer matched with their best-selling wheel balancer in one package. The NTC-950 tire changer handles rims up to 26", with Triumph's Jet Blast Inflation System and a powerful bead-breaker system for everyday passenger and light-truck work. The NTB-550 wheel balancer adds a foot-pedal wheel brake to hold the wheel steady while you place weights, directly improving balance accuracy. Buying the combo saves hundreds off the standalone prices and turns a basic shop into a full-service tire bay.
Why It's Different: This is the most cost-effective entry point into a tire-service bay. The base NTC-950 covers everyday passenger and light-truck tires up to 26" rims at a lower price than the assist-arm NTC-950-1 and dual-assist NTC-950-2 — and the NTB-550's foot-pedal brake delivers the accuracy improvement that matters most on a passenger balancer.
Best For: Commercial shops, used-car lots, and serious home garages starting a wheel-service operation for cars and light trucks. If your work includes run-flats, low-profile, or wide-profile tires, step up to the assist-arm NTC-950-1 or dual-arm NTC-950-2 combo.
⚠️ Both machines require compressed air to operate — confirm your shop air supply before ordering. Both run on 110V.
⚠️ This is the entry tire changer in the NTC-950 line. The NTC-950 handles up to 26" rims (vs 28" on the assist-arm 950-1 and dual-arm 950-2) and does not include an assist arm. For run-flat, low-profile, or wide-profile tires, the NTC-950-1 or NTC-950-2 are better matched. The NTC-950 is best suited to standard passenger and light-truck tire work.
⚠️ Passenger / light-truck only. The NTB-550 balances wheels up to 150 lb and 44" tire diameter — confirm your wheel weights and sizes are within rating. For truck-grade wheel weight (up to 350 lb), the NTB-1200 combo is the right pick.
⚠️ 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.
