With the call for quick clearance on congested roadways and to handle a variety of difficult recovery and lifting jobs, Century and Vulcan are the number one choice worldwide. As the only manufacture of recovery equipment that designs specifically for towers needs and safety, we are proud to offer the 1150, a 50 ton rotator ideal for heavy recovery with a weight saving design for your daily towing.

The 1150 and 950 features 360° of continuous boom rotation, a 3-stage recovery boom, optional deck and turret mounted winches and field tested and proven SDU-4 underlift.

The 1150 and 950 technology is also available with our unique patented roller system that allows the boom to travel up to 60”. The low maintenance roller system has the ability to start and stop under heavy loads, even while rotating.

The 1150R and 950R also features our patented Raptor™ Wireless Proportional Controls[*] which includes wrecker controls extendible away from the vehicle to enhance operator sightlines during use, and an information screen with load sensing functions.
