30-Second Takeaway
Jekko is set to make a major impact at Bauma 2025 with the global unveiling of the JCX80 telescopic crawler crane and live demonstrations of the MAXX – Mobile Assembly X-System, a robotics-driven construction automation concept. Together, these innovations showcase Jekko’s vision for compact lifting, electrification, and the future of automated construction workflows.
What We Know So Far About Jekko at Bauma 2025
Although much of Jekko’s Bauma 2025 presence remains deliberately under wraps, key details have emerged ahead of the show. The Italian manufacturer will unveil a brand-new telescopic crawler crane, expand beyond its traditional product categories, and highlight a Bauma Innovation Award–nominated automation system developed with leading robotics and academic partners.
JCX80 Telescopic Crawler Crane: Compact Power Redefined
The Jekko JCX80 will make its official debut at Bauma 2025, marking a significant evolution in the company’s crane portfolio. Designed for projects requiring maximum flexibility in restricted spaces, the JCX80 combines compact dimensions with impressive lifting performance.
With a maximum lifting capacity of 8 tonnes and a reach of up to 27 metres, the JCX80 is ideally suited for:
Urban construction sites
Industrial facilities
Confined-access environments
Sensitive indoor and outdoor lifting operations
This new model represents Jekko’s strategic move into the telescopic crawler crane segment, extending beyond its established mini crane lineup.
Key Features of the Jekko JCX80
Stabilizer-Free Operation
The JCX80 is designed to operate without stabilizers, allowing it to function in extremely tight spaces where conventional cranes cannot deploy outriggers.
Lithium Battery Power
Powered by lithium battery technology, the JCX80 delivers low-noise, zero-emission operation meeting modern sustainability expectations for urban and indoor job sites.
Energy Recovery System
An innovative energy recovery system allows the crane to recharge its batteries during operation, extending working time and improving overall efficiency without frequent charging interruptions.
Advanced Operating Modes
The JCX80 introduces multiple intelligent operating modes, including “Pass-Over” mode, which enables the crane to elevate the mobile turret and move over obstacles—dramatically increasing jobsite adaptability.
MAXX – Mobile Assembly X-System: Automation Comes to the Jobsite
In addition to the JCX80, Jekko will showcase the MAXX – Mobile Assembly X-System, a visionary construction automation project and Category 5 Research finalist for the Bauma Innovation Award.
Developed in collaboration with:
RWTH Aachen University (Center Construction Robotics)
Construction Robotics GmbH
KUKA
Fundermax
MAXX introduces robotic automation concepts designed to:
Improve jobsite safety
Increase assembly precision
Reduce manual handling risks
Enhance productivity through repeatable processes
Visitors to the Jekko stand will be able to experience live demonstrations, offering a real-world look at how automation could reshape construction workflows.
Jekko’s Vision for the Future of Construction
Bauma 2025 represents more than a product launch for Jekko—it signals a broader vision for the future of lifting and construction technology.
“Bauma 2025 provides the ideal platform for Jekko to connect with industry professionals, partners, and customers from around the world,” said Diego Tomasella, CEO of Jekko.
“We are confident that we will present ourselves at our best, combining a vast array of groundbreaking product innovations with a visionary concept of how the future of the industry will evolve.”
