Jerr-Dan’s Patented XLP Automatic Wheel Grid Option
In 2022 Jerr-Dan, an Oshkosh Corporation company (NYSE: OSK), announced a new option for their XLP carrier. The XLP Carrier Autogrid allows an operator to hook to a car quickly and easily without manually installing L-Arms. This optional feature received a patent for both design and operation on January 31, 2023.
“We knew that the Autogrid would be a game-changer when we applied for the patent,” said Todd Werner, Chief Engineer. “The bar anyone must meet to obtain a U.S.
Patent is that the product is ‘new and useful.’ Our Autogrid has been on the market for a little over a year, and users agree that it is both.”
