Miller Industries announced the release of the newly redesigned Century® 5130. The Century 5130/5230 has been Miller Industries’ top-selling heavy-duty wrecker for over 20 years. This latest generation integrates a suite of design enhancements engineered to deliver improved strength, easier operation, and increased durability on the job.
The redesigned 4-plate outer underlift features optimized pivot geometry, reducing the stress placed on the pivot pin and improving overall durability and longevity. At the forefront of the upgraded underlift is the new heavy-duty crossbar.After three years of field-testing, it’s ready for the market. Special attention was given to thethird stage to improve front and rear towing clearance by reducing clearance height by 1.5 inches—even with dual fork holders. A fully redesigned third stage pivot base features machined lubrication grooves and military-grade brass thrust washers. This heavy-duty crossbar is truly a game changer.
The new Century 5130 also introduces single underlift tilt cylinder, which delivers a 12.5% increase in power—a significant boost for operators managing demanding heavy-duty towing.
In addition, the 5130 boasts 4-plate inner and outer jack legs, now equipped with Nylatron® wear-pads to enhance both strength and operational smoothness during lift and stabilization. Another standout improvement is the introduction of cast D-rings on the inner boom, replacing traditional welded components to improve strength and streamline manufacturing.
To increase versatility and operator capability in challenging environments, the optional extendable outriggers now include integrated shackle lugs, providing added anchoring options and improving recovery stability.
“These updates to the Century 5130/5230 reflect our continued commitment to innovation and operator-focused design,” said Billy Drane, Vice President of Heavy-Duty Products with Miller Industries. “By listening to our customers and understanding the evolving demands of the heavy-duty recovery market, we’ve engineered a stronger, more efficient wrecker that sets the new standard for light-weight integrated performance.”
