• Recovery vehicle manufacturer JJ Conversions is to begin importing demountable, aluminium roll-back bodies made by Jerr-Dan Corporation of the United States.
Andover-based JJ's owner Richard Guy says the deal means JJ can now sell a range of American-style roll-backs; Jerr-Dann will sell JJ's products in the States.
JJ makes 1-25-tonne underLifts and car transporters,
mostly custom-built. Because Jerr-Dan manufactures its bodies on a production line, JJ can import them cheaper than it could build them itself, says Guy.
The company, which has a Jen--Dan demonstrator on a Mercedes 814 chassis, is planning to build a factory in France next year. It supplies the Ministry of Defence and the RAC, and sold about 150 bodies last year.
