Hird said:” Bringing the Jekko Glass Manipulators into our fleet has enabled us to refine our lifting techniques within the glazing industry. We are seeing our market increase very quickly and we foresee some long term growth in this niche sector, where in the past a limited amount of companies have ventured into this field.”

Italian based Jekko cranes and manipulators is a sister business of Imai cranes which has been expanding rapidly with the addition of new products, including the glass manipulators, new spider crane models and a new two tonne pedestrian operated pick & carry crane.
