It takes Triumph's most capable changer — the NTC-950-2, the one with \u003cstrong\u003edual pneumatic assist arms\u003c\/strong\u003e — and pairs it with the NTB-550, a balancer whose helper is a \u003cstrong\u003efoot-pedal wheel brake\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than an electronic one. Our spec data is blunt about the difference: the NTB-550 lists automatic data entry as \u003cem\u003eNo\u003c\/em\u003e. You type all three rim figures yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhether that is the right trade depends entirely on which end of the job hurts in your shop. Nobody has ever strained their back on a keypad. The tyres that cost a fitter an afternoon are stiff-sidewall run-flats and wide low-profile fitments, and those are handled by arms and force, not by software.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWill It Fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eConfirming the following is the buyer's job, and it is the part that goes wrong most often.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDepth, not width, is the constraint on the changer.\u003c\/strong\u003e Assembled the NTC-950-2 measures 56 x 93 x 80 inches (1,422mm x 2,362mm x 2,032mm). The 93 inches is what the assist arms need in order to swing. A machine set too close to a wall loses the feature you paid for.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eThe balancer is the compact half.\u003c\/strong\u003e 28 x 47 x 56 inches assembled (711mm x 1194mm x 1422mm), which slots into a corner most changers could not use.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eElectrical.\u003c\/strong\u003e Both run on 110 volts from an ordinary shop circuit.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCompressed air.\u003c\/strong\u003e The changer works to a maximum of 120 PSI and needs a regulated, dried supply from your own compressor. Our data quotes no flow requirement, so size the compressor from the machine's manual rather than from a guess.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDelivery access.\u003c\/strong\u003e The changer crates at 38 x 65 x 51 inches and 900 lbs; the balancer crate weighs 325 lbs. Combined, the shipment is about 1,225 lbs across two crates. Check the door, the threshold and the turn before the truck books in.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eTwo assist arms, and the tyres that need them\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe assist arms hold the bead down and out of the way while the mount head runs round the rim. On a conventional touring tyre you can work without them. On a run-flat, whose sidewall is built stiff enough to carry the car deflated, or on a wide-profile tyre that resists being folded into the drop centre, they change the job from a two-person struggle to a one-person routine. Two arms rather than one means the tyre is controlled at two points, which is what keeps the operator's hands on the tool.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe rest of the changer is deliberately ordinary in the good sense: a bead breaker delivering 5,500 lbs of force for wheels that arrive corroded onto the rim, and bead blast, which fires a hard burst of air into the sidewall to seat a bead during inflation. Clamping runs 16-28 inches on the inside and 14-26 inches on the outside, taking wheels up to 15 inches wide and tyres up to 43 inches in diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eA foot pedal is a feature, not an omission\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe NTB-550's wheel brake is worth more than it sounds. Applying weights to a free-spinning wheel means holding it still with one hand and placing the weight with the other, and the wheel moves at exactly the wrong moment. The pedal locks the wheel where the machine stopped it, which is both faster and more accurate, and it does it without occupying a hand.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat you give up is the data entry. Three parameters per wheel, entered by the operator, on every wheel. In a shop doing a handful of balances a day that is nothing; in a high-volume tyre bay it is the argument for the other balancer. Performance at the spindle is unchanged: +\/-1 gram, a 6-9 second cycle, wheels from 10-28 inches, tyres to 44 inches, rim widths of 1 1\/2-20 inches, up to 150 lbs on a 36 mm shaft, reading in standard or metric.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGeneral repair shops\u003c\/strong\u003e that fit tyres as part of a wider job list and want the difficult ones to stop being an event.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePerformance and 4x4 specialists\u003c\/strong\u003e, where wide and stiff-sidewall fitments are the normal work rather than the exception.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eA shop upgrading a changer first\u003c\/strong\u003e and treating the balancer as the thing it can live with.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSmaller floors\u003c\/strong\u003e — the compact balancer buys back some of the space the changer's arms take.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eChanger: steel mount and demount head, plastic mount and demount head, plastic wheel clamp covers, soap tank with application brush, and a tyre tool bar.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBalancer: plastic safety hood, quick-release wing nut, cone adapters, wheel weight hammer, and rim caliper.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe compressor, air line and electrical work are yours.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch4\u003eNTC-950-2 tire changer\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eInside clamping\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e16-28 inches (406-711 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eOutside clamping\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e14-26 inches (355-660 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMax wheel width\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e15 inches (381 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMax tire diameter\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e43 inches (1092 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBead breaker force\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e5,500 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMotor\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e1 1\/2 HP\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMax working pressure\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e120 PSI\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAssembled size\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e56 x 93 x 80 inches\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCrate\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e38 x 65 x 51 inches, 900 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch4\u003eNTB-550 wheel balancer\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWheel size\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e10-28 inches\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMax tire diameter\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e44 inches (1,118 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRim width\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e1 1\/2-20 inches (38-508 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMax wheel weight\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e150 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eShaft\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e36 mm\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAutomatic data entry\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAccuracy\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e+\/-1 gram\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCycle time\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e6-9 seconds\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAssembled size\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e28 x 47 x 56 inches\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCrate weight\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e325 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch4\u003eBoth machines\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eVoltage\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e110 Volt\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCombined shipping weight\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e1,225 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCertification, stated plainly\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe data we hold on this pair claims no third-party safety listing, and a rewritten product page is not the place to invent one.

The rate is quoted live at checkout against your address rather than baked into this page, because carrier pricing moves.
