Jerr-Dan debuts JD60 independent heavy duty wrecker

May 23, 2022
The new addition to the independent wrecker lineup has an SAE boom rating of 120,000 lbs. when fully retracted and 25,000 lbs. fully extended

Jerr-Dan, an Oshkosh Corporation company, has released a new 3-stage, 60-ton heavy duty wrecker to their product range.

The new addition to their independent wrecker lineup has an SAE boom rating of 120,000 lbs. when fully retracted and 25,000 lbs. fully extended. The 3-stage boom provides a maximum reach past the tailboard of 294 inches and a maximum hook height of 432 inches. Dual 50,000 lb. winches are standard and there is an option for an additional 35,000 lb. underlift drag winch.

Also standard on this unit are boom angle indicators and load charts for increased operational awareness. A fully proportional wireless remote with a 330 ft. range allows effortless operation of the recovery boom from multiple locations with precision.

The 3-stage independent knee boom underlifts offer either 142 inches or 181 inches of reach past the tailboard. An optional 4-stage underlift is also available with 179 inches of reach.

The new JD60 IND has the custom JFB body available in multiple wheelbase configurations. The body is made of a polypropylene copolymer material that is both high-impact and corrosion resistant. When compared to most other body types, these features can substantially reduce the cost of ownership, according to Jerr-Dan.
