Triumph NTC-950 Tire Changer — Stand-Alone, Expandable, 28" Clamping The Triumph NTC-950 is the entry point into Triumph's commercial tire-changer line — and the smart way to start a tire-service operation without over-buying upfront. It's a stand-alone wheel-clamp machine with a 28" clamping range, a powerful 5,500 lb bead breaker, and Triumph's bead-blast system for seating and inflating stubborn beads — everything you need to service everyday passenger and light-truck tires. The key advantage: as your business grows, you can add one or even two helper arms to the machine. Save money now, expand later. Why It's Different: The NTC-950 is engineered to grow with your shop. It ships as a no-helper-arm base machine at the lowest price in the line, but the platform is the same chassis that supports the single-arm NTC-950-1 and dual-arm NTC-950-2 — so you can upgrade in place when the work demands it instead of replacing the whole changer. Same 5,500 lb bead breaker, same bead-blast, same 28" clamping range as the higher-priced 950 variants. Best For: Commercial shops starting up a tire-service operation, used-car lots, growing automotive businesses, and budget-conscious shops servicing cars and light trucks. If your shop already runs a lot of run-flats or low-profile tires, the NTC-950-1 (single arm) or NTC-950-2 (dual arm) are better matched out of the gate. ⚠️ Requires compressed air to operate — confirm your shop air supply before ordering. Runs on 110V. ⚠️ No assist arm on the base NTC-950. Without a helper arm, run-flats, low-profile, and wide-profile tires are difficult to change. The machine is upgradeable — add one or two helper arms later — but if your work already includes those tires, step up to the NTC-950-1 or NTC-950-2 now. ⚠️ Bolt the machine to a level floor before use and follow the manufacturer's installation and operating instructions. ⚠️ Tire equipment ships LTL with liftgate service included — the driver lowers the unit to the ground at the back of the truck, but will not move it inside or assemble it. 700 lb shipping.
