A crane designed to last is the result of careful material selection and meticulous manufacturing processes. To ensure the highest standards of strength and durability, Jekko internally produces all of its structural frameworks using high-strength steel sourced exclusively from Europe. The production process begins with the longitudinal welding of the boom, carried out by a state-of-the-art automatic system. Components are then joined together using micro-welding seams executed by a team of expert welders. Subsequently, the assembly undergoes welding in one of three robotic plants equipped with advanced joint-finding software. The process concludes at finishing stations where welders complete the final welding and remove any processing residues, preparing the component for the painting phase. It’s now the time for the welded products to undergo anti-corrosion treatments and final painting by the expert hand of VP Verniciatura, Jekko’s longstanding partner. The process starts with mechanical pretreatment through an automatic sandblasting machine, followed by nanotechnological chemical pretreatment to protect metal surfaces from oxidation. After the pretreatment phases, the booms are ready for the powder coating. The paint is applied with an electrostatic system to minimize product loss and emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This ensures a complete coverage of every detail with excellent aesthetics. The powders are QUALICOAT Class 2 approved, guaranteeing superior durability and resistance. The choice of painting system is made during the design phase based on environmental corrosivity category, required durability, and material type. The collaboration between Jekko and VP Verniciatura is characterized by an integrated approach to quality. Dedicated quality controls occur at the end of each production phase; welding technologies range from visual inspection by technicians to laser instrumentation or other internally designed tools at Jekko. For painting, quality inspections include visual verification, gloss-meter, thickness gauge, impact tester, and Cross Hatch Tester, according to ISO 12944-2 standards. This ensures durability for up to 10 years and resistance to salt spray of 750 hours, achieving a corrosion resistance class of C4h certified by QualiSteelCoat. This synergy doesn’t only enhance the overall quality of the final product but also represents a joint commitment to innovation and sustainability in production processes. Combining Jekko‘s experience in structural framework production and VP Verniciatura‘s expertise in anti-corrosion treatments and industrial painting demonstrates that collaboration and excellence are essential to achieving outstanding results in the sector. Together, Jekko and VP Verniciatura offer a product that combines structural robustness with high-quality aesthetic finishes, ensuring maximum customer satisfaction.

We would like to thank all the people who came to visit us and spent some of their time with us! See you at Bauma 2025!    

As the result of years spent in market analysis, research and development, the new SPX328 is a cutting-edge machine that offers a smooth User Experience even for beginners. With this new model, the Italian company unveils a modern, innovative, convenient and handy product that requires minimum training and guides the operator through the different working phases, streamlining the processes and turning even the most difficult operation into something easy to perform. From stabilization to operation, the operator is easily steered throughout his work. The screen of this model, where the operator is guided step by step to set the parameters of his experience, is the quintessence of the User-Friendly concept. This is the major element of the SPX328, designed and developed for both entry-level operators and skilled users.   FEATURES The brand-new design of the SPX328 proposes soft and rounded lines yet it holds to Jekko’s typically engaging boxy style. This is a crawler minicrane stands in the category that can easily drive through standard doorways with a maximum capacity of 2800 kg, powered by LiFe-PO4 210Ah lithium-ion batteries. SPX328 is the first minicrane worldwide equipped with an electric jib – with a 500-kg maximum lifting capacity   INNOVATION An onboard 10” interactive touchscreen – featuring an IP67 Protection Rating for operation in any yard and in no matter what weather conditions, from low to high temperatures, under the sun and the snow, even when using work gloves – interacts with the crane via the Jekko Touch Experience system, that guides the operator step by step in order to configure the crane before starting operation, and has tutorials that can be watched on the display. A radio remote control included as standard equipment and the HOOK Recovery system: the automatic block stowing system for multiple pulls. An advanced radio-remote-controlled self-levelling system levels the crane in an independent way so that it positions correctly no matter how the stabilizers are placed and also on uneven ground. Another system this model is fitted with is the Kick Down system, that detects the travel operation depending on how the levers are used and allows for a higher speed during drive exceeding the maximum standard speed of the crane.   The SPX328 is the outcome of a know-how developed over years of experience, empathy and attention for the dynamics of the market and its evolution. The world changes and Jekko changes as well, adapting and improving its machines, heading to the future and targeting eco-friendliness.  

Nach dem Erfolg im Jahr 2019 wird Jekko auch auf der Bauma 2022, die dieses Jahr vom 24. bis 30. Oktober in München stattfindet, präsent sein. Der Ausstellungsbereich, FS-Außenbereich, Standnummer 903/6, nimmt eine Fläche von 512 m2 ein, auf denen ein aus fünf Containern in Reihe bestehender Stand aufgebaut wird. Sie bilden ein zweistöckiges Konstrukt, in dem die Büroräume für Sitzungen und Versammlungen, der Hospitality-Bereich und der Empfangs- und Wohnbereich, in dem Kunden und Händler empfangen werden, untergebracht sind. Die verwendeten Container wurden für diesen Anlass wiederverwertet und überholt und werden später am Hauptsitz in Italien aufgestellt und für den neuen Kundenschulungsbereich verwendet. Dies entspricht dem 2021 entwickelten und ab Januar 2022 umgesetzten Nachhaltigkeitsprojekt des Unternehmens. Die von Jekko auf der Messe präsentierten Maschinen zeichnen sich durch ihr benutzerfreundliches Konzept aus, d.h. sie sind einfach und intuitiv zu bedienen und können gleichermaßen von Fachleuten und Anfängern bedient werden. Alle Maschinen von Jekko bieten immer die Möglichkeit elektrisch zu arbeiten, weshalb alle auf der Messe präsentierten Maschinen elektrisch betrieben werden. Die Minikrane der Baureihe SPX sind mit Lithium-Ionen-Batterien und die Minipicker mit Blei-Säure-Batterien ausgestattet, während die JF Raupenkrane mit Bi-Energy funktionieren, d.h. sie sind mit einem Diesel- und einem Elektromotor ausgestattet. Erstmals werden wir auf der Bauma 2022 auch die neuen Modelle der einzelnen Baureihen vorstellen: SPX328 aus der SPX-Baureihe, die am 20. September offiziell vorgestellt wird, JF235 aus der JF-Baureihe sowie MPK10 und MPK20R aus der Minipicker-Baureihe. Daneben stellt Jekko verschiedene Modelle der jeweiligen Baureihen aus: Minipicker: MPK06 und MPK10 mit dem jeweiligen Manipulator SPX: SPX532 mit JVM800, SPX650 mit JIB500GR und SPX1280 JF: JF545 mit Arbeitskorb für zwei Personen und JF990 Zubehör: Saugnäpfe JVL450 und JVL600 mit Trolley, Manipulator JVM800, JIB500GR sowie Lasttraversen mit 5, 10 und 20 t Hubleistung.
