Triumph NTC-950 Tire Changer — Swing-Arm Rim Clamp, 16–28″ Clamping, 5,500-lb Bead Breaker, 110V

Description

The Triumph NTC-950 is a stand-alone, swing-arm rim-clamp tire changer built for shops getting into tire service without overbuying. It mounts and demounts passenger-car and light-truck tires on a four-jaw clamping turntable, pairing an air-powered 5,500-lb bead breaker with a built-in bead blast system that seats stubborn beads. It runs on standard 110V shop power, so most one- and two-bay shops can plug it in without electrical work.

The NTC-950 ships as a stand-alone clamp machine with no helper arm — start lean, expand later. Its design accepts one or two helper arms as your tire volume grows, and MGS also stocks the machine pre-fitted with a single assist arm as the NTC-950-1, or with two arms as the NTC-950-2, if you would rather buy the expanded configuration up front.

Features

• 5,500-lb bead breaker — an air-powered bead breaker delivers 5,500 lbs of force to break beads on cars and light trucks.
• Bead blast seating system — a built-in air burst helps seat the bead on hard-to-mount tires.
• 1.5 HP motor — drives the clamping turntable for steady commercial use.
• Aluminum cylinders — aluminum bead-breaker cylinder, rim-clamp cylinder, and foot-pedal valve.
• All-metal external fittings — metal air fittings throughout the external air lines.
• Plastic clamp covers — shield rims from the steel jaws during clamping.
• Removable front access plate — lifts off for direct access to the foot-pedal valve assembly, which simplifies service.
• Oiler and water separator — an inline air filter and regulator with an oiler and water separator conditions incoming shop air.

Compatibility

The NTC-950 is rated for passenger cars and light trucks up to 1 ton, including Load Range C, D, and E tires, on 14- to 24-inch and 16.5-inch wheels. Motorcycle wheels can be serviced with an additional adapter. It is not rated for box trucks, over-the-road trucks, 19.5- or 21.5-inch wheels, implement tires, or run-flat tires — those call for a larger machine in the Triumph tire-changer line.

FAQ

Does the NTC-950 include a helper arm?

No. It is a stand-alone clamp machine designed for single-operator use. You can run it as-is and add one or two helper arms later, or order it pre-configured as the NTC-950-1 with one arm or the NTC-950-2 with two.

It clamps rims from 16 to 28 inches on the inside and 14 to 26 inches on the outside, with a maximum wheel width of 15 inches and a maximum tire diameter of 43 inches — covering passenger cars and light trucks up to 1 ton.

Can it mount run-flat tires?

The stand-alone NTC-950 and single-arm NTC-950-1 are not rated for run-flat tires; the two-arm NTC-950-2 is. If run-flats are part of your regular work, choose the two-arm configuration.

Yes, with an additional motorcycle adapter.

Standard 110V shop power. The clamping turntable is driven by a 1.5 HP motor.
