Spanish rental company Grúas y Servicios Casado has taken delivery of the first Jekko SPX 532.2 CDH spider crane in Spain and the first lithium-ion battery powered spider crane to enter a Spanish rental fleet. Supplied by Transgrúas, the compact 3.2-tonne spider crane combines electric operation, ultra-compact dimensions, and strong lifting performance for indoor, urban, and restricted-access lifting applications.



First Jekko SPX 532.2 CDH Delivered in Spain


Spanish crane rental company Grúas y Servicios Casado has become the first company in Spain to add the Jekko SPX 532.2 CDH spider crane to its fleet.

According to Jekko distributor Transgrúas, the crane is also the first lithium-ion battery powered spider crane to be introduced into a Spanish rental operation, representing a milestone for low-emission compact lifting in the country.


Upgraded Spider Crane with Electric Drive


Launched at Vertikal Days in September, the SPX 532.2 CDH is an upgraded version of the SPX 532, offering improved performance and electric operation.

  • Four-section telescopic jib: 5.1 metres

  • Jib offset: up to 80° below or 16° above horizontal

Using the main boom only, the crane can lift:

  • 1.45 tonnes to 11.8 metres

The crane also offers a pick-and-carry capacity of 400 kg.

  • Overall width: 760 mm

  • Height: 1.99 metres
