How are cranes built? Discover the faster alternative for construction sites

Traditional construction crane systems require complex on-site assembly before they can perform a single lift. But what if there was a faster, smarter way to get your crane working—no setup, no delays?

Jekko’s mini cranes arrive ready to work, eliminating the need for heavy assembly and reducing downtime to a minimum. In this article, we’ll explain how are cranes built on construction sites and why Jekko’s compact, self-contained machines are transforming modern lifting operations.

How are construction cranes typically assembled?

Erecting a standard crane—like a tower or crawler crane—involves multiple steps, including transporting oversized components, preparing a concrete foundation, and using auxiliary cranes for assembly. This process can take days or even weeks, requiring skilled labor and strict safety checks.

This process involves transporting oversized components, preparing solid foundations, and using auxiliary cranes to erect the main structure. It’s a complex operation that often takes days—or even weeks.

Typical crane assembly steps:

• Ground inspection and foundation setup
• Transport of components with special permits
• Lifting and bolting of mast sections
• Installation of slewing unit and jib
• Final testing before operation

While necessary for large-scale projects, this approach isn’t ideal when space, time, or terrain are limited.

The advantage of mini cranes in construction assembly

Today’s construction sites often present unique challenges—from operating in confined spaces to handling fragile materials with extreme precision. Mini cranes have become essential in overcoming these obstacles, offering unmatched benefits during both crane assembly and daily operations.

Key advantages of mini cranes include:

• Compact Size: Easily maneuverable through tight access points and narrow spaces, where traditional cranes cannot operate.
• High Lifting Power: Despite their small footprint, Jekko’s mini cranes deliver exceptional lifting capacities, supporting demanding assembly and installation tasks.
• Precision and Flexibility: Advanced control systems allow operators to place loads with millimetric accuracy, critical when assembling structural elements.
• Fast Setup and Relocation: Mini cranes can be deployed quickly and moved efficiently across the site, speeding up the assembly of larger cranes and structures.
• Eco-Friendly Power Options: Many Jekko models offer lithium battery-powered systems, ensuring zero emissions and quieter operations—ideal for indoor projects and urban environments with strict regulations.

Thanks to their innovative design, Jekko mini cranes significantly simplify how cranes are built and supported on construction sites, improving efficiency without sacrificing performance.

Jekko mini cranes: no assembly required

Unlike traditional construction cranes, Jekko’s mini cranes arrive on-site fully assembled. There’s no need for foundation work, mast installation, or structural bolting.

Once unloaded, the crane is immediately ready to operate—saving time, labor, and logistics costs.

Key benefits:

• Ready-to-use out of the box
  Jekko mini cranes don’t require any on-site construction. Just unload and operate—saving valuable time and resources.
• No oversized transport required
  Thanks to their compact size, mini cranes can be transported with standard trucks and trailers. No need for special permits or escorts.
• Adaptable to any terrain
  With robust crawler tracks, Jekko cranes move easily across rough, uneven, or sloped surfaces—even on loose soil or gravel.
• Lightweight and rooftop-ready
  Need to lift materials on upper floors or fragile slabs? Jekko cranes are lightweight and stable, ideal for elevated construction work.
• Auto-leveling on slopes
  Jekko models include automatic leveling systems that adapt to the terrain—ensuring stability and precision even on uneven ground.
• Battery-powered and eco-friendly
  With zero-emission electric motors, Jekko cranes work quietly and cleanly—perfect for indoor projects, city centers, and green construction sites.

Crane at a construction site? Make it smart with Jekko

When people ask “how are cranes built on-site?”, the answer often involves extensive setup, multiple machines, and complex logistics.

With Jekko mini cranes, the answer is different: they’re not built—they’re delivered ready to work.

No delays. No additional equipment. Just smart, efficient lifting power exactly where it’s needed.
