From 21th  to 24th of March we will be – together with our German dealer NordKran – at Fensterbau Frontale exhibition in Nuremberg, a trade show about windows, doors and façades The exhibition takes place every two years and originates from smaller trade fairs who merged in order to provide customers a full view of a market for used machines and tools. The past edition in 2016 saw 110.581 trade visitors from 116 countries and this year more than 790 companies are presenting their products and solutions on current developments in the window, door and facade construction sector, making Fensterbau Frontale a world-leading exhibition in its sector. Jekko and NordKran will be at Stand 3A-224 to showcase two models from the mini crane range: SPX312 and SPX424 equipped with MV600 glass manipulator. Both cranes can be equipped with vacuum lifters for glass fitted on manipulators (fully integrated with the mini crane) or on hook lifts, allowing Jekko mini-cranes to install glass facades on buildings, homes and skyscrapers. Where requested, it is also possible to handle glass panes and non-porous materials, especially in small spaces.

We have always wanted to bet on young talents and in this case we decided to support the path of a local young athlete: 25 years old Leonardo Dei Tos from Vittorio Veneto (Italy) made us proud with its first medal as our partner. On Saturday 17th February, he competed in the 5000 mt  march at the “Assoluti Indoor” in Ancona (Italy) winning the silver medal. He collected 9 medals in the last 10 Italian championships and now his aim is the 20 km competition in Rome, together with the 2 free position for the World Team Championship. He has always been passionate about sports, practicing cycling as a child, then  he switched and dedicated to march competitions. At the beginning of his career he had to face some difficulties because of his height but growing up he managed to improve his technique with great determination. Last Saturday’s medal proved his constant achievements: “I really wanted to be there and would like to thank my family, my team and my new sponsor Jekko to whom I gave the first satisfaction”.  

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).

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.
