Miller Industries Upgrades to Exclusive DP Winch as Standard Winch Across 10-Series, 12-Series LCG, and 16-Series LCG Car Carrier Lineups

Miller Industries announces a standard winch upgrade across its Century, Vulcan, and Chevron 10-Series, 12-Series LCG™, and 16-Series LCG™, car carrier lineups. Effective immediately, all models will feature a new 12,000 lbs. worm-gear winch from DP Winch, replacing the previous 8,000 lbs. winch — a 50% increase in pulling capacity. The new winch configuration is exclusive to Miller Industries and is backed by a 4-year warranty.

The new DP worm-gear winch is a purpose-built, heavy-duty unit engineered to handle the demands of daily professional use. Key highlights include:

  • 100% Bronze Worm Gear — Provides superior heat dissipation over bi-metal designs, keeping internal components cooler under sustained loads and resisting premature wear.
  • Oversized Worm Shaft — Eliminates shaft flex under tension, maintaining proper gear alignment and reducing binding and heat buildup.
  • Exclusive 4-Year Warranty — Gives operators added peace of mind, reflecting both DP Winch’s confidence in the product and Miller Industries’ commitment to long-term reliability.

The winch carries a true SAEJ706 12,000 lbs. rated capacity, closing the performance gap between winch capability and deck capacity across Miller Industries’ car carrier platforms.

“Going from 8,000 lbs. to 12,000 lbs. of pulling capacity is a meaningful upgrade for our operators,” said Kipp Felice, Vice President of Marketing and Business Solutions at Miller Industries. “The new DP worm-gear winch gives our Century, Vulcan, and Chevron car carrier customers stronger, more capable equipment right out of the gate — and the fact that it’s exclusive to Miller Industries with a 4-year warranty makes it a true competitive differentiator.”

The upgraded car carriers with the new DP winch are available now through Miller Industries’ distribution network. For more information and to find the Miller Industries distributor closest to you, visit millerind.com.
