Italian mini crane manufacturer Jekko has expanded its presence in Asia with the appointment of a new dealer, AP Rentals Limited, which will serve Hong Kong, Macau and Singapore markets.
Based in Hong Kong, AP Rentals operates in construction, E&M engineering, and event and entertainment businesses, providing rental and sales of power and energy, lifting and material handling equipment.
Founded 45 years ago by Thomas P S Lau and Chan Kit Mui, its parent company AP Rentals Holdings Limited has been listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited since 2016.
AP Rentals’ rental fleet comprises diesel generators, air compressors, diesel welders, light towers, articulated boom lifts, diesel and electric forklifts, telehandlers and cranes. The company delivers various services, such as project analysis, machine application, project evaluation, training, service and spare parts supply.
For the Jekko brand, AP Rentals will provide rental, sales, service, parts and technical consulting for the whole range, which includes the SPX mini cranes (2.8-8 t), JF articulated cranes (6.1-21.5 t) and MPK minipickers (0.6-5 t).
“I am fully confident that the choice of AP Rentals as a partner will take us a fundamental step forward,” said Diego Tomasella, Jekko CEO. “Its strong company structure with a well-trained and motivated team and an in-depth market knowledge offer us key insights on the current market needs an on the upcoming developments.
“This feedback is a fundamental help for Jekko to tailor its offerings to meet specific regional demands. We are convinced that our user-friendly and technologically advanced cranes will be appreciated by operators since they will easily understand the flexibility of use that is unattainable by other types of cranes.”
Thomas P S Lau, AP Rentals chairman and CEO, added, “We are happy to start the business with Jekko since we have known this brand for more than eight years. We will establish the application & service support to Jekko machines to offer best highlights and continuous customer support in Hong Kong and Asia Pacific area.”
