Miller Industries has brought a whole new dimension to transport with the 16 Series LCG™ (Low Center of Gravity) carrier. The patented design lowers the deck height 5" to 6" over conventional carriers. The lower height allows for the transport of taller loads such as forklifts or man-lifts that maybe over-height on a conventional carrier as well as providing better stability during transport.

The operator may easily secure loads or tied down vehicles standing on the ground with the lower height. When mounted on most air ride chassis, with the air dumped, the 16 Series LCG™ has less than 11° load angle, making it ideal for loading low-clearance vehicles or equipment without using ramps or wood.  Your new 16 Series LCG™ is available in 20.5’ to 26’ with a capacity of 16,000 lb and a wide variety of options to fit your specific transport needs.

Fuel tanks must be under the cab, not to extend 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. Chassis components directly behind the cab must be 2” below the top of the truck frame.

* Inside bed widths will vary based on siderail option selected.

** Add 6” to C.A. for frame mounted pylon.

‡ The outside frame rails of the chassis extending behind the cab must be free of fuel tanks, air tanks, exhaust racks, etc. Air-bag rear suspensions are recommended for the lowest possible load angle but the L.C.G. 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” below the top of the truck frame to clear the bed slide rails.
