News & press to be always on the case.

Last week we had the pleasure to welcome at our facilities some students from the Higher Technical Institute of Vittorio Veneto (TV). We had the opportunity to open our doors to local students to show them how the production activity works and to tell them our history, giving them the chance to see in first person how we design, develop and then manufacture our mini cranes. The students demonstrated to be very interested in what they were shown, asking a lot of technical questions and also tried out some cranes with the support of our technicians.

During the evening occasion to greet the closing of Donizetti theatre in Bergamo, Jekko mini cranes have been invited as special guest to lift up the event access curtain. Switching between various musical and theatrical performances, choreographies and art, Donizetti Foundation wanted to organize an event for the closing of the namesake theatre before the start of renovation works. 47.000 people took part into the initiative across the whole city, passing through the impressive curtain set up in “Porta Nuova” and sustained by a Jekko SPX527 and a SPX1275, that perfectly merged into the city stage, also thanks to the collaboration of the company Elevo from Lallio (BG).

The 2nd Jekko Dealer Meeting took place on Thursday 18th and Friday 19th of May. The International Dealer Meeting took place in Jesolo, Italy, a town in front of the sea side, 45 minutes far from our headquarters. The aim of the meeting was to create group harmony between the different dealers, encouraging the sharing of experiences and therefore greater reciprocal knowledge – this was reached considering the great participation of all the 30 distributors (60 people) from all the world. On the first day of meeting we summarised the situation of the mini crane market today and market trend for the next 5 years. We also introduced the new three JF Cranes, articulated crawler cranes realized in collaboration with Fassi. During the evening all the participants joined the Jekko team for a dinner on a boat through Venice’s Canals. During the second day, all the distributors had the chance to visit our new production plant. The new plant of Godega di S.U., intended to be used as assembly department, consists of an area of 12.000 sqm (of which 4.000 covered), adds up to the 5.000 sq m site in Colle Umberto, where the headquarters with the administrative and commercial offices and the carpentry department are located. During the show we had the chance to present  the new JF-545, JF-30, JF-40 and also the new MPK-05. The final part of the meeting was a dinner in a Jesolo club with all the Dealers who attended the event. The meeting was an unexpected success for us: all dealers demonstrated how involved and enthusiast they are in the work completed during the 2 days, displaying their concrete optimism also for Jekko’s future.  

JekkoUSA, our U.S. distributor, will be exhibiting seven models of our mini cranes at CONEXPO 2017 (March 7-11), the highlight of which will be the new SPK 60 crawler crane, with a maximum load of more than 6 tons, and a maximum reach of 17.7 m. In addition to these specs, the SPK 60 includes a number of exciting new features: Extendable tracks to increase stability A dozer blade to level debris A grabber/manipulator attachment for pipes and beams State-of-the-art radio remote control Hydraulic, lattice, and searcher hook jib attachments Hydraulic winch This will be the first time the SPK 60 has been exhibited in the U.S. market. JekkoUSA will have its team of specialists available at Booth G3722 including our representatives to answer questions about the company’s newest equipment, safety components, and developing trends in the U.S. and international crane market.

On Saturday 22nd October, the team of Jekko Minicrane took part in a training day organized by Ruggers Tarvisium who also hosted the event in their Club House in Treviso. The teacher Dr. Massimiliano Ruggiero and the President Guido Feletti introduced Jekko’s personnel to the laws and the dynamics of rugby, explaining how they can also be applied to the job experience in a business environment. The technical staff, made up of Mr. Craig Green and Mr. Enrico Pavanello, put the lesson learnt directly into practice on the rugby field. The whole Jekko staff wants to thank Ruggers Tarvisium for the valour they instilled us that will surely be a source of inspiration for our will of growth and development of the best innovations in the lifting field.  

From October 5th to 8th, Jekko Minicrane will be at the Geofluid exhibition in Piacenza, Italy. You can find us at Pavillion 2, Stand L.M 26 – where you can discover the brand new SPK60, out tele-crawler crane.
