New Jaso tower crane cross

Spanish tower crane manufacturer Jaso has launched a new 10 tonne capacity tower crane.

The J150.10 is the second model in a new series of three. It can lift 1.6 tonnes at 65 m and has a unique design in that it is a flat top and cat head cross. Rather than the conventional two ties, this model only has one.

Another feature is that all the upper components, including trolley and winch are contained in one unit for easy assembly. The crane's smaller brother, the J120.10 was launched in 2008, while the bigger J420 will be introduced later this year. It will have a 20 tonne capacity, with the ability to lift 4 tonnes at 80 m.
