First Jekko JF990 in Norway

The first Jekko JF990 spider crane to arrive in Norway has been delivered to Asbjorn Dahlen Transport company as a replacement for a loader crane. The crane was sold and delivered by local dealer Jekko Norge.

Launched at Bauma, the crane has a maximum capacity of 21.5 tonnes, a maximum lift height of 41 metres and a maximum radius of 38 metres. It is also possible to equip the crane with either a gravity suspended platform, or a fully integrated work platform attachment, effectively converting it to a spider lift, with a working height of 38 metres and 34 metres of outreach. It is powered by a choice of Deutz or Kubota diesel and was supplied with the optional AC electric power pack for emission free quiet operation.

Oscar Hausammann of Jekko Norge said: “The customer was looking for a crane capable of substituting the traditional truck crane, less cumbersome and most of all equipped with an electric motor in order to reduce emissions, a very important issue considering the tight restrictions on the use of combustion engines. The crane will be helping install prefabricated housing on a site outside of Oslo.”

Jekko’s export sales manager Alberto Franceschini added: “This is another example of how crawler cranes are becoming a more convenient alternative compared to the traditional installations on trucks for this kind of operation.”
