Triumph Wheel Balancers

Shop Triumph wheel balancers for passenger, light-truck and heavier truck-wheel service. The standalone lineup centers on NTB-550, NTB-800 and NTB-1200, while this collection also contains tire-changer/balancer combo packages and a motorcycle adapter. Compare wheel weight, tire diameter and data-entry workflow before choosing the balancer.

Three Standalone Balancers, Three Different Workflows

The current Triumph balancer lineup is easier to understand when the combo packages are set aside. NTB-550 is the simpler passenger/light-truck machine with manual dimensional input. NTB-800 automates more of the measurement-entry process. NTB-1200 moves into heavier truck-wheel service with a much higher documented wheel-weight limit.

Model	Wheel / tire range	Max wheel weight	Main distinction
NTB-550	10 to 28 in wheel size; up to 44 in tire diameter	150 lb	Manual input of rim diameter, width and machine-to-wheel distance.
NTB-800	10 to 28 in wheel size; up to 44 in tire diameter	150 lb	Automatically captures distance and wheel diameter, leaving wheel width as the manual measurement.
NTB-1200	10 to 28 in wheel size; up to 51 in tire diameter	350 lb	Heavy-duty balancer intended to cover large truck wheels as well as smaller passenger wheels.

NTB-550 vs. NTB-800

Both machines share the same documented 10 to 28 inch wheel-size range, 44 inch maximum tire diameter and 150 lb maximum wheel weight. The practical difference is setup workflow. NTB-550 requires the operator to enter all three basic wheel dimensions, while NTB-800 automatically captures two of them with the measuring arm.

When the NTB-1200 Makes Sense

NTB-1200 is the heavy-duty choice in this collection. National Auto Tools documents a 350 lb maximum wheel weight and 51 inch maximum tire diameter, which makes it materially different from the 150 lb NTB-550 and NTB-800. Choose it when the shop's truck-wheel work actually needs that additional envelope.

Do not use the combo count as the number of standalone balancers. Many rows in this collection pair one of these NTB machines with a Triumph tire changer. Compare the NTB model inside the package, not just the combo title.

Motorcycle Adapter Compatibility

The Triumph motorcycle wheel-balancer adapter is documented for the 580, 550 and 800 model balancers. The current source does not list NTB-1200 in that compatibility statement, so do not assume the same adapter fits the truck balancer.

Triumph Wheel Balancer FAQs

What is the difference between the NTB-550 and NTB-800?

They share the same documented wheel-size, tire-diameter and maximum-weight range. NTB-800 automates distance and wheel-diameter entry, while NTB-550 requires the operator to enter all three basic wheel dimensions manually.

Which Triumph balancer is for truck wheels?

NTB-1200 is the heavy-duty model represented here. It is documented for up to 350 lb wheel weight and up to 51 inch tire diameter while still covering smaller passenger wheels.

Does the Triumph motorcycle adapter fit NTB-1200?

The current adapter documentation lists Triumph 580, NTB-550 and NTB-800 compatibility. It does not list NTB-1200, so fitment should not be assumed.

Choose Around Wheel Weight and Setup Workflow

Use the product grid for current Triumph wheel-balancer and combo configurations, then confirm wheel weight, tire diameter, rim width, measurement workflow and any adapter requirement for the exact NTB model. To pair the balancer with a changer, compare Triumph tire changers or browse the Triumph tire changer and wheel balancer combos. The Triumph brand collection covers the full equipment lineup.
