BouwBeurs is the largest and most complete trade show for the building sector. Every two years – in February – over than 600 exhibitors meet almost 75,000 visitors. BouwBeurs will be running at Jaarbeurs in Utrecht from Monday 4 to Friday 8 February 2019, included.  Our Dutch dealer Hocap will be attending in this important event and showcasing a SPX424CDH in Hall 7, Stand A008. The SPX424 is the most performing mini crane currently on the market. It reaches a maximum height of 15 meters and has a working radius of 11.9 meters with a maximum capacity of 2400 kg. It can be equipped with jib and hydraulic manipulators.   GO TO PRODUCT PAGE

On December 3rd, Lift and Access magazine declared the winners of the 13th annual Leadership in Lifting Equipment and Aerial Platforms (LLEAP) Awards, which recognized our SPK60 tele-crawler as the most innovative crane in the lifting and access industry. We are thrilled to receive this award assigned by an expert panel of judges who evaluated the entries and rated the products based on innovative features and technology, perceived value, productivity, and overall benefit to the industry. A GLANCE AT SPK60 SPK60 was born as a telescopic boom crawler crane with cab to be used mainly in confined and difficult spaces where millimeter-level precision and controlled movements are required. This formula turned out to be a great success, giving the market something it was missing. GO TO PRODUCT PAGE   Guaranteeing extraordinary performances and a great feeling with the operator, the SPK60 is suitable for both precision maneuvers in tight and enclosed spaces and for pick&carry operations on rough terrain. This is why SPK60 can be exploited in interior spaces by taking advantage of jibs and radio remote control and also in large construction sites with the operator in the cabin, keeping the tracks extended an thus increasing the lifting capacity compared to similar machines. The software allows electronically controlling the crane directly from the radio remote control unit provided, where all the working data is displayed in real time. The crane is also equipped with extendible tracks without stabilizers, capable of lifting up to 3 tonnes in Pick&Carry mode and 6 tonnes in static mode. Different jibs and tools are available and completely integrated with the machine: the operator can assemble and disassemble components and accessories on its own. The mini-crane is extremely easy to transport and is only 5.8 metres long, which makes it easy to unload from the body of a truck.

From 8th to 10th November 2018 Jekko will be at GIC – Italian Concrete Days exhibition, in Piacenza (Italy). You will find us in hall n.1, following the coordinates D-38 E-47, where you can find a SPX1040 minicrane together with a JF40.

Following the success of the JF545, the market debut of a new, even more competitive, better performing and lighter model, thanks to the absence of a counterweight. The innovative and revolutionary drive of Jekko shows no signs of stopping, and following the commercial success of the JF545, the market sees the arrival of the new JF365. A model which re-interprets the concept of its “big sister”, but sets new challenges in terms of performance, compact size, multiple applications and versatility. The JF365 represents a further evolution of the species: it is even more competitive in terms of compactness and performance, thanks to the absence of a counterweight. Following the success of the JF545 – explained Alberto Franceschini, Sales Manager for Jekko – we decided to maintain the same format and the same configuration, substituting the crane element with one of Fassi’s best sellers, the F365, which operates in the same way as the 545 but without a removable counterweight, resulting in a more compact and lighter crane while offering the same performance. The reduced weight and dimensions allow the JF365 to operate in tight spaces such as town centres, in the industrial sector, for fittings in restricted work-site areas or in particular lifting situations close to walls, as rotation is confined to the area of the machine, without the bulk of the counterweight. The JF365 has a fixed base with a load capacity of 3 tons. It offers the same options as the JF545: Proportional radio controller, hydraulic activation for accessories, stability control with infinite possibilities for stabilisation, 1 smaller and lighter jib which allows for the installation of a platform on the main arm.   GO TO PRODUCT PAGE   Range of use The JF365 is a crane which can work either horizontally or vertically, overcoming and working around obstacles, with the use of either the hook or the winch. It is also possible to use a manipulator for sheets of glass, and either a 3-person hydraulic platform used with dual articulation or a 2-person basket with the jib, for heights of up to 29 metres. The hydraulic activation of the jib allows for the installation of any additional option. Super accessibility in tight spaces The founding concept is the bringing to the ground of equipment which is usually mounted on a truck. This allows for increased accessibility and a reduction in size, with a significant positive impact on logistics. It is therefore possible to transport and use an articulated crane in all areas which cannot be accessed by a truck, such as: industrial areas, town centres with narrow streets, fenced parks, etc. Infinite lifting possibilities Jekko has developed software which allows for the stabilisation of the crane via infinite combinations. Each stabiliser can be set as desired in terms of angle and extension. One of four stability levels is automatically calculated according to the position of the stabilisers and the consequential tipping axis, with 1 being the lowest level of stability and 5 the highest, with reference to four different classes of pressure One crane – one operator The crane can be managed entirely by a single operator thanks to the use of a radio controller, which is effectively an extension of the machine that is always within reach. This allows the operator to carry out all operations in complete autonomy: activation/deactivation, crane manoeuvres, stabilisation, jib integration. Motor: both diesel and electric The JF365 has both a 55 kW Kubota diesel engine, and a 13 kW three-phase electric motor. According to the situation and to requirements, the operator can easily switch between one or the other with considerable flexibility, for either internal or external use. Competitive advantages Such a versatile crane can be used in the most varied of situations: special lifting conditions, fitting operations in restricted work site spaces (beams, mezzanines, glass, air conditioning systems, etc.) or in industrial areas (machinery of varied size), maintenance and servicing. It is the perfect machine for companies which specialise in lifting, integrating an existing fleet of truck-mounted articulated cranes and city cranes, as well as for companies specialised in the rental of equipment with or without an operator. It is ideal for those specialising in niche operations, with high and extremely particular demands, but is suitable in general for all those wishing to exploit the typical advantages offered by an articulated crane in areas which are inaccessible for a truck. In general, the market demands smaller machines which offer the same lifting capacities as their larger counterparts, for obvious reasons of cost, potential, logistics, maintenance and ease of use. The new JF365 was created for this very reason. We will be launching this crane on the German, Scandinavian and central European markets, naturally without neglecting Italy – explained Franceschini – The JF365, and the JF545 before it, are cranes which are a great source of pride for us, as on an industrial level we were the first to introduce this revolution to the market and now many brands in the crawler market are following in our wake. This means that we have chosen the right direction, obviously following the philosophy of Made in Italy.   JEKKO JF365 characteristics Overall dimensions: w 1.8 m, l 5.5 m, h 2.7 m Maximum lifting capacity: 11.5 tons Weight: 12,300 kg + 700 (jib) Motor: 55.4 kW Kubota diesel + 13 kW three-phase electric motor Maximum height (with Jib): 29 m (cap. 550 kg) Maximum outreach (with Jib): 26.5 m (cap. 365 kg) Rotation: 360°

After the first medal with Jekko and the first part of the season, the young race walker Leonardo Dei Tos tells us about his upcoming goals during his latest visit to our site in Godega di Sant’Urbano. “The goals for this year were different, but unfortunately getting flu a couple of inconvenient times and some accidents that were worse than expected stopped me from getting to the events for selecting the Italian teams in shape, the events that I always took part in last year,” he admits, and as a consequence he had to alter his season, including a couple of national races of great technical value and an international race from now up to the end of June. The next events for Leonardo will therefore be: – 5 May in Bolzano with the first regional stage of the club Championship; all of Italy’s most competitive athletes will take part, divided by region according to the club they belong to (Leonardo’s club is in Trentino Alto Adige and that’s why he’ll be competing in Bolzano). In this competition, the contenders will distinguish themselves by their times, which are assigned a score, and the sum of the scores of the athletes in the same club determine the rankings for the 12 best clubs which will compete for the championship. 10 km on track; BOLZANO – 8 and 9 June in ALYTUS (Lithuania) international race over 20 km on the first day and 5 km the second day. Athletes who go on to summer events like the World and European Championships often take part in this competition as well. In 2017 Leonardo came 2nd in the rankings and he’s very optimistic about the outcome this year. – 23–24 June Final of the club Championship mentioned above. Italy’s best 12 clubs will compete in this race (Gold Final, there will also be a Silver and B final). Last year, his Athletic Club Bolzano got to the sixth place, and is confident about making it to the podium this year. 10 km on track. MODENA “I’d like to take the opportunity once more to thank Diego Tomasella, Mauro Tonon and the whole of Jekko for the support they’ve given me and above all in this tricky first part of the year for me.”
