12 SERIES LCG™
Century brings a whole new dimension to transport with the 12 Series LCG™ (Low Center of Gravity) carrier. The patented design lowers the deck height 5” – 6” over conventional carriers. The lower height allows for the transport of taller loads, such as forklifts or man-lifts, that may be over-height on a conventional carrier and also provides better stability during transport. The operator can easily secure loads or tie down vehicles while standing on the ground, thanks to the lower height. When mounted on most air ride chassis, with the air dumped, the 12 Series LCG™ has less than an 11-degree load angle, making it ideal for loading low-clearance vehicles or equipment without using ramps or wood. For fast and easy unloading of damaged vehicles or equipment, the 12 Series LCG™ has a 20-degree dump angle. Your new 12 Series LCG™ is available in 20.5’, 21’, 21.5’, and 22’ deck lengths with a capacity of 12,000 lbs. and a wide variety of options to fit your specific transport needs.

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.
