Jekko
Finishing the prototype of its SPX 1040 mini crawler crane in 2009, Jekko began producing and delivering the first units at the end of last year. With three telescopic boom sections and available with either a 15m or 11m boom, the SPX 1040 model has a 4t maximum lifting capacity with a four-part pulley block. It can be equipped with an offset fly jib and stinger for a total working height of 23m with 800kg.
When compact, the SPX 1040 measures 1400 x 5,304.8 x 1,975.5mm. It runs on a four-cylinder diesel, Lombardini 9LD625 engine, and has a 320mm wide rubber track, with an extendable steel track available.
Valla
Valla’s new 25 E mini mobile crane has a 2.5t lifting capacity and two telescopic boom sections. Weighing 2.3t and measuring 950 x 2,190 x 1,800mm, it has a 48V-200Ah battery and an AC 3kW-48V electric motor. For steering, a single rear wheel linked to the steering rudder allows the wheel to turn 180º. For anything more than 180º, there is an electronic steering system powered by an AC 500W-48V steering motor.
Valla designed its new 25 E crane to be used across many sectors, such as marble shops or the aerospace, chemical and glass industries, says Giuseppe Guglielmetti of the company’s marketing department. The first unit was sold to a company that produces pipes for hydraulic purposes, and the crane will be used for maintenance, he says.
Kegiom
Receiving requests for smaller machines, especially in the glazing industry, is one of the reasons why Kegiom Lifting developed its new Model 200 Panda, says Francesco Giombetti, the company’s commercial manager. An electric pick-and-carry crane with a 1.2t maximum lifting capacity, the 200 Panda is 850 x 2,070 x 1,750mm. It has a 6.5m lifting height when fully extended and a 5.2m maximum working radius. It runs on an electric 24V–400Ah battery.
Galizia
Galizia’s new 2t capacity GK20 is its tracked version of the G20 electric pedestrian crane, as requested by GGR Group. The GK20 measures 820mm wide when the tracks are closed, allowing it to pass through standard doorways, and opens to 1,220mm for increased stability during operation. It also measures 2,240mm long by 1,700mm tall. This new version will be used where it is important to distribute the load, reduce the pressure on the ground and fit through small doorways, such as in glass and steel lifting, explained managing director Fabio Galizia-Vercelli.
For more precise and gradual movements, it has a 48 volt battery with “two compact brushless AC motor drives controlled by two AC electronic systems,” he says. Both drive and boom functions use full proportional radio remote controls, and a load limiting device with display is included.
Galizia has also updated its 20t capacity GF200 electric crane to include a new dual front electric motor drive concept. For the two pairs of front wheels, each is controlled by its own electric motor for extra manoeuvrability.
