Jerr-Dan tow trucks have set the standard for towing and recovery performance, strength, reliability, and service for 50 years. How? That reputation starts with innovative, industry-leading engineering.
“The strongest engineering pedigree in the industry.”
Jerr-Dan is part of a long-time tradition of engineering expertise. Jerr-Dan is a subdivision of JLG Industries which is owned by Oshkosh Corporation. JLG is the world’s leading designer and manufacturer of access equipment, including aerial work platforms and telehandlers. Oshkosh is an industrial technology company focused on purpose-built vehicles and equipment and a major US defense contractor.
“JLG is considered the top brand in the US for aerial lifts. It’s a very highly engineering-driven company. When you put someone up 80 feet in the air, there is a lot of liability. So, everything has to be very precise, very well engineered,” said Barry Roth, Sales Manager, Columbus McMahon Truck Centers. “Jerr-Dan has the strongest engineering pedigree in the industry, which is what you want when you are lifting tens of thousands of pounds.”
Better engineering means more strength, less maintenance, and bigger payloads.
Jerr-Dan’s No-LubeTM technology saves you time and money on maintenance. Thanks to this innovative technology, Jerr-Dan tow trucks perform smoothly and consistently over time, are more protected from wear, and free operators from needing to regularly lubricate components. “Other brands have to grease their sliding mechanisms all the time,” said Paul Blackston, Jerr-Dan Sales Specialist, Columbus McMahon Truck Centers.
Jerr-Dan carrier trucks have a high strength-to-weight ratio, due to their superior, military-grade engineering. So, you can haul heavier loads while maintaining stability and performance. “If you have a heavy chassis and a heavy bed, you’re going to lose payload. With our Jerr-Dan setup, we maximize payload,” said Roth.
Jerr-Dan XLP carriers also offer industry-leading low load angles, for enhanced safety, accessibility, and efficiency. Plus, the low load angle offers you increased versality in the types of vehicles carried.
Rugged, user-friendly Jerr-Dan wreckers are built with durable, high-strength steel and are designed for maximum power.
Jerr-Dan rotators have industry-leading scissor style outriggers as well as the strongest platform in the industry. When you are handling the hardest, heaviest recoveries, you want the best possible tow truck engineering on your side.
Choose from light, medium, heavy-duty, and industrial wreckers, carriers, and rotators.
Jerr-Dan offers a full line of high-performance towing and recovery equipment, including:
- Wreckers: 8-ton load to 50-ton load, Jerr-Dan has the tough, reliable wrecker for the job. Choose from integrated or independent wrecker models, all engineered for maximum power and stability.
- Carrier trucks/rollbacks–Jerr-Dan offers versatile light-duty carriers, workhorse medium-duty and heavy-duty rollbacks, and industrial and multi-car carriers for the most demanding work.
