Towing Museum's Involvement
Supporting a Legacy That Drives the Industry Forward
Proceeds from the auction will directly support the museum’s mission to preserve the rich history of the towing and recovery profession. Funds raised will aid ongoing efforts to expand exhibits, enhance educational programming, and improve museum facilities — ensuring future generations understand and appreciate the critical role towing professionals play in public safety and transportation.
Located in Chattanooga, the International Towing Museum is the only institution of its kind dedicated to honoring the heritage and heroes of the towing and recovery industry. From vintage wreckers to Hall of Fame inductees, the museum brings together stories, innovation, and legacy under one roof.
The auction will take place on Friday, October 10, 2025, at the Westin Chattanooga, with festivities kicking off at 6:30 p.m. Attendees can look forward to an evening of celebration, networking, and spirited bidding — all in support of a great cause. Tickets can be purchased in advance or at the door.
About this Truck
The International Towing & Recovery Hall of Fame and Museum proudly announces the unveiling of the 2025 Museum Auction Truck, generously donated by industry leaders Hino Trucks USA and Miller Industries. The custom-designed truck officially rolled off the line at Miller’s state-of-the-art car carrier production facility in Hermitage, PA, and will be auctioned at the museum’s Annual Fundraising Gala on Friday, October 10, 2025, at the Westin Chattanooga.
This year’s auction truck features a Hino L6 Series chassis, outfitted with a Century 12 Series LCG™ (Low Center of Gravity) carrier body — a high-performance combination designed to meet the rigorous demands of today’s towing professionals.
More about the Hino chassis
The Hino L6 series chassis is a versatile and durable Class 6 medium-duty truck chassis designed for various applications. It features a Cummins B6.7 diesel engine, Allison automatic transmission, and a strong, customizable frame capable of accommodating a wide range of truck bodies. The L6 also emphasizes driver comfort and safety with features like a spacious cab, advanced safety systems, and excellent visibility.
More about the Miller Industries car carrier
Miller Industries 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.
