There are many processes that lead to manufacturing a quality wrecker, carrier, or rotator and one of those is the finish paint process.  Here at Miller Industries we employ  state-of-the-art finish paint facilities to ensure that our products have the highest quality paint applications available.  In this short video we showcase the finish paint building located at our Ooltewah, TN facility.

Verifying the winch drag settings on your  heavy-duty wrecker is an important maintenance item.  Our friends at TWG helped us create this helpful video that outlines why drag settings are so important, and also demonstrates how to set the tension for both the DP 35,000 lb. and 50,000 lb. winches.    In this video we also clear up some common misconceptions around free-spool tension settings on our Century^® and Vulcan^®  heavy-duty wreckers, and explain the differences between how the 35k and 50k winches function internally.

We donated proceeds totaling over $10,000 to the Wall of the Fallen Survivor Fund.  The Survivor Fund helps to support the families of towers who are killed in the line of duty.  This cause is one that is close to our hearts here at Miller Industries, because we have known many towers who have lost their lives in the line of duty.

Checking the tire pressure in your wrecker or rotator is a critical safety step.  Ensuring proper tire pressure before a heavy tow could be the different between a tire blowout and a successful tow.  This video showcases the LED AirGuard® tire pressure monitoring system developed by Real Wheels, and exclusive to Miller Industries.
