Jerr-Dan has earned several patents around the world for its products, including the advanced wrecker wheel-lift and the lightweight/rust resistant carrier body. In 2004, Jerr-
Dan was acquired by Oshkosh Corporation, which designs and builds specialty trucks, truck bodies and access equipment. With manufacturing operations in nine countries, Oshkosh employs 13,100 people around the world and its products and services are sold in more than 130 countries.
