Jekko has unveiled the JF545.2, the latest model of knuckle boom crawler cranes that updates the popular JF545. This new model introduces significant improvements in terms of performance and ease of use.
The JF545.2 features variable speed engine management, optimizing crane movements to be faster, more precise, and smoother while reducing fuel consumption. The operator can choose between three working modes: Eco, Normal, and Power, offering a customizable balance between power and consumption. Operational information, such as engine RPM and fuel level, is displayed on a new 7” touchscreen, waterproof with an IP66 rating.
The structure has been enhanced with redesigned hydraulic stabilizers for greater positioning precision. A dedicated electric radiator keeps the hydraulic oil at the optimal temperature, improving reliability and performance. The crane also includes a new DPF filter for automatic emission management, and for cold areas, an optional preheating kit is available to ensure operability in any weather condition.
