12 Series
The Miller Industries 12 Series LCG® carrier is built for operators looking for a smarter, more versatile solution in a rollback tow truck for sale. Designed with a patented Low Center of Gravity (LCG®) design, the 12 Series lowers deck height compared to conventional carriers, improving stability during transport while making it easier to load and secure vehicles and equipment.
The lower deck height also allows operators to transport taller loads and simplifies loading low-clearance vehicles without relying on ramps or wood blocks. Combined with smooth loading angles and easy ground-level access for tie-downs, the 12 Series LCG® is engineered to improve efficiency in real-world towing and transport operations.
Available in multiple deck lengths and configurations, the Century, Vulcan, and Chevron 12 Series LCG® carriers are a popular choice for towing companies, equipment transport, and fleet operators looking for a dependable car carrier for sale with added flexibility and capability.
At Lynch Truck Center, we regularly stock a wide selection of 12 Series LCG rollback carriers for sale, many of which are available for immediate delivery. As one of the largest stocking distributors of Miller Industries equipment in the country, we help operators find the right carrier quickly with financing, trade-ins, and nationwide delivery available.

Important
Fuel tanks must be under the cab. Fuel tanks can extend up to 6 inches behind the cab only in combination with a frame-mounted pylon. Fuel fill must not behind the cab. The preferred location for the battery box is under the passenger seat or under the cab, battery boxes in other locations may require relocation.
* A minimum of 49" between the inside of the rear tires is required.
‡ The outside frame rails of the chassis extending behind the cab must be free of fuel tanks, air tanks, exhaust stacks, etc. The LCG® carrier is not compatible with chassis that have inboard mid-ship fuel tanks such as the Ford 550 and Dodge 5500.
Air-bag rear suspensions are recommended for the lowest possible load angle but the LCG® carrier can be mounted on some chassis with leaf spring suspensions. Most chassis components behind the cab outside the frame must be at least 2 inches below the top of the truck frame to clear the bed slide rails.
