Providing customers with consistent, reliable mission-critical systems and specialty equipment.

Jered supports the mission of naval partners by creating and delivering innovative critical systems and maintaining ship readiness. Jered focuses on providing marine customers with steering gear systems, aircraft elevators, doors and hatches, and additional mission-critical systems.

Since 1946, Jered has provided technical solutions on every surface combatant vessel. With a commitment to excellence and a focus on pushing the boundaries of what is possible, Jered continues to be a driving partner in shaping the future of naval technology, leading the way in first-of-a-kind product development while combining its strong engineering with comprehensive heavy fabrication capabilities.

Steering Gear Systems

Jered supplies steering gear systems for most classes of U.S. Navy and numerous global vessels. Our hydraulic ram-type steering gear are available in single rudder-tiller connections or as dual rudder-tiller operating systems. They provide advanced operational protection, modular flexibility, and extremely high reliability even under the most strenuous of conditions.

Marine Elevators and Lifts

Jered provides a wide variety of electric and hydraulic elevators for multiple marine use cases including aircraft, weapons, cargo, and personnel. We have created the most advanced, state-of-the-art naval elevator systems in the world, and our designs are globally known for their safety, reliability, efficiency, and ease of maintenance.

Marine Cranes, Hoists, and Handling Systems

Jered designs and builds highly reliable and safe cranes, hoists, and handling systems that are designed specifically for marine use cases, perform a wide range of functions, and provide maximum stability. Our experience spans bridge cranes, cargo- and weapons-handling cranes, CIWS, traveling roof systems, ordinance cranes, gantry cranes, side port stores cranes, and more.

Deck Machinery

Jered provides state-of-the-art deck machinery for Navy ships, including all types of anchor windlasses from vertical shaft mil-spec combined wildcat/capstan to horizontal shaft, single or dual wildcat versions. All electric or electro-hydraulic designs are available.

One of our featured designs is the Jered electric anchor windlass, which offers a modular design that requires only a voltage flange and brake wheel foundation deck. It is the first permanent magnet motor anchor windlass selected for U.S. Navy vessels and reduces installation costs, weight, maintenance, and manning.

Pontoon Roadways and Bridging

Jered designed and manufactured an Elevated Causeway System, Modular (ELCAS/M) for the U.S. Naval Facilities Command. The ELCAS/M is designed to support large cargo off-loads in areas where no pier facilities exist or where facilities or scheduling of movement need to be enhanced with additional resources.
