JLG Industries, an Oshkosh Corporation business and global manufacturer of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) and telehandlers, unveiled an enhanced Jerr-Dan 15-Ton LP Industrial Carrier to support the evolving transportation needs of rental, construction and industrial fleets.
Designed with rental economics in mind, the Jerr-Dan 15-Ton LP Industrial Carrier supports high-utilization fleets through durable construction, flexible configurations and operator-focused features, according to the company.
“As part of JLG’s broader commitment to delivering end-to-end jobsite and fleet solutions, the Jerr-Dan 15-Ton LP Industrial Carrier helps rental companies safely and efficiently transport heavy construction equipment, including JLG MEWPs (mobile elevating work platforms) and telehandlers, while maximizing uptime, flexibility and return on investment,” said Evan Landauer, director of sales and service, Jerr-Dan. “The carrier is engineered to meet the demands of high-utilization rental environments, where durability, versatility and operator confidence are critical.”
At the core of the new carrier is a 30,000-pound structural deck capacity, with multiple deck lengths, ranging from 24-30 feet, and material options including Apitong wood, traction plate decking over wood or steel diamond plate over wood. These configuration choices allow rental fleets to align the carrier with diverse equipment profiles and regional operating conditions.
To support controlled loading and recovery, the carrier offers 20,000-pound worm gear or planetary winch options, each equipped with air-free spool functionality. Rear towing versatility is enhanced through a range of options, including a 5,000-pound wheel lift, pintle hitch configurations with manual or hydraulic extension and an available hydraulic rear dock stabilizer, giving fleets greater flexibility across applications and jobsite scenarios.
Updated with operator experience in mind, the 15-Ton LP Industrial Carrier from Jerr-Dan incorporates features that promote safety, visibility and ease of use, all key considerations for rental customers managing multiple operators. Available features include dual lighted side controls, wireless remote-control options, LED lighting, rear awareness indicator lights (RAIL) and an available backup camera system to support confident operation in busy yards and jobsites. Additional features include yellow anti-slip paint on rubrails, folding access ladders, chain racks on the headboard and traffic cone storage.
The carrier is engineered for mounting on chassis with a minimum GVWR of 46,000 pounds, providing the robust foundation required for heavy-duty transport while supporting fleet standardization strategies.
“Rental customers are looking for transport solutions that are as reliable and adaptable as the equipment they support,” said Landauer. “By bringing the enhanced Jerr-Dan 15-Ton LP Industrial Carrier to ARA, JLG is reinforcing its commitment to providing practical, job-ready solutions that help rental fleets operate more efficiently and serve their customers with confidence.”
