The first Jekko SPX1280 in the UAE lands in Dubai

The latest 8 tons mini crane by Jekko has arrived in the UAE for the first time

The latest 8 tons mini crane by Jekko, SPX1280, has arrived in the UAE for the first time and has just been delivered to Jekko’s trusted dealer AJI Heavy Equipment Rental in Dubai. 

AJI, which is about to receive also a SPX532, runs a young, diverse fleet of close to 500 units in the UAE consisting of a full range of Powered Access, Mini Cranes (included SPX312, SPX424, JF40) and Cleaning Equipment. “We have been eagerly awaiting the SPX1280 as it brings a new dimension into the market, we saw it was the outrigger footprint and flexibility what truly set it apart from its competitors, when we placed our order at launch last year. We have a couple of interesting projects lined up for the unit and can’t wait to get it on site”, AJI General Manager Mr. Dean Jones said. 

SPX1280 was officially presented at the end of 2019 and has already been a great success. This versatile mini crane, the biggest of SPX line so far, reaches 26.6 m in height (with jib) and encompasses new-generation technology that fully exploits the concepts of stability and hoisting: the combination of stabilization system, sensor technology, software and a new user interface generates endless working situations. 

The core of this crane is its new stabilization system and the well-known hydraulic jib with three extensions that can be stowed either under or on the side of the main boom. The new hydraulic system allows smoother and more precise operation, for a greater feeling of control for the operator. This 100% electronically-operated supply system has been enhanced to offer new functions such as jib extension and arm lifting at the same time, smoother and more performing tracks, operation while combining four functions at a time.
