Jekko Partners with Trackunit to Launch J-Link Fleet Management System

30 Second Takeaway

Italian spider crane manufacturer Jekko has partnered with Danish telematics specialist Trackunit to develop J-Link, a next-generation fleet management and monitoring system. Designed for Jekko’s spider cranes and pick & carry cranes, J-Link delivers real-time machine tracking, operational monitoring, and predictive maintenance, helping fleet owners improve efficiency, safety, and uptime.

Digital Fleet Management for Compact Cranes

Jekko has formed a strategic partnership with Trackunit to bring advanced telematics and connectivity to its crane portfolio through the launch of J-Link, a dedicated digital platform for fleet management and machine monitoring.

The system provides real-time visibility of connected machines, allowing operators and fleet managers to track crane location, operating status, and utilisation data across multiple sites.

By leveraging data analytics, J-Link also introduces predictive maintenance capabilities, enabling users to assess component wear, schedule servicing more effectively, and reduce unplanned downtime.

Built on Trackunit Connectivity

J-Link is powered by Trackunit’s connectivity platform, allowing customers with connected machines to manage their fleets through a single, unified system. This approach simplifies fleet oversight, particularly for rental companies and contractors operating mixed fleets across multiple locations.

The platform supports:

• Real-time machine geolocation

• Operational status monitoring

• Predictive maintenance insights

• Improved service planning and asset utilisation

Driving Efficiency, Safety, and Sustainability

Jekko commercial director Alberto Franceschini said the collaboration is focused on delivering tangible benefits for crane owners and operators:

“The goal of this collaboration is to offer real added value to crane users, improving efficiency, safety and operational sustainability. With J-Link, operators can easily track and geolocate their machines, as well as monitor their operating status.”

Trackunit chief executive Søren Brogaard highlighted the broader industry impact:

“We are excited to partner with Jekko and consider this to be another important step in making the construction industry increasingly connected. Connectivity is the key to making on-site work more efficient and to supporting the entire industry in the goal of eliminating downtime.”
