Century 9055 & 9055XL Photos

The 9055 is Century's largest capacity integrated towing and recovery unit. With a 50-ton, 3 stage recovery boom, and dual 50,000 lb winches, the 9055 is ideal for heavy recovery work along with the ability to tow a wide variety of vehicles from mixers to packers and buses with its 136” of  reach.  The 9055XL version provides 60 inches more length to the recovery boom for a maximum length of 276 inches, and an impressive 359-inch hook height. This improvement was achieved all while maintaining the same impressive 18,000 lb. boom rating when fully extended and at a 39-degree boom angle.
