Jerr-Dan tow trucks recently announced the introduction of the much anticipated XLP-6 Series of low profile carriers. This new series of carriers is designed to address the demand from professional towing and recovery operators for a high quality, low profile and low load angle carrier by your premier tow truck sales dealer.
The XLP-6 series is available with 21' and 22' steel and aluminum decks, including dual angle "shark models. All XLP-6 models include a low profile sub-frame that lowers the deck height to approximately 8 3/4" above the frame rail and provides greatly improved angles.
When installed on a chassis with a 32" deck height, a "conventional" deck produces a load angle of 10.5 degrees, while a dual angle deck has a load angle of less than 8 degrees.
Unlike other low profile carriers on the market, the XLP-6 requires no additional chassis modifications. All components are above or outside the frame rails, so there is no need to relocate suspension components or chassis cross members.
The XLP-6 is suitable for air ride or spring ride chassis, however, for optimum load angles, an air ride chassis with a dump valve is recommended.

- A 12,000 lb. deck capacity and they can be equipped with a new 3,500-lb. wheel- lift.
