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 (AJI) in Dubai. AJI operates a diverse fleet of close to 500 units in the UAE consisting a full range of powered access, mini cranes, 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,” said AJI General Manager, Dean Jones.

SPX1280 was officially presented at the end of 2019. It is a versatile mini crane that reaches 26.6m in height (with jib). Additionally, the SPX1280 encompasses new-generation technology that fully exploits the concepts of stability and hoisting including the combination of stabilization system, sensor technology, software and a new user interface generates endless working situations.

The core of the mini 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 for smoother and more precise operation.
