The ones in use in European countries tend to be more compact in length than the ones we have here in the USA. Depending on where you are, manuverability can be a factor, or a huge factor. It's easier to stabalize a long truck for lifting, but that takes room. Room is sometimes just not available. Those European trucks are impressive.
LOVE THIS-- I worked on the rotator for a while in California... got mashed between a 550 wheellift eagle claw and a 9000 pound SUV when an old lady in a 54 cadillac hit the truck in the back at road speed and knocked it into mine as I was in the middle doing the hookup. That was 99 and still not over it. I LOVED that work-- I would do 20 tows a day with wheellift or whatever it needed when using rotator.. loved it ALL.. I was single- and worked 18 hour days 7 days a week..
Ah, the Century 1150, just one notch below what Ron Pratt has at his disposal, which is an 1150R, so nearly identical specs except loaded with more bells and whistles, and Miller Industries also makes an 1150RXP that's again nearly identical specs to the 1150 but basically everything but the kitchen sink in terms of features.
Ah yes, saving the Century M100 for last, it's a totally badass beast of a rotator with quite a hefty price tag to match its raw strength. Up to $1.4 million apiece iirc
I live 2 hours East of Miller Industries. I get a chill every time I go by there wondering when their next truck will be adopted.
