Fascan International and JekkoUSA have announced their plans to exhibit more than 20 cranes at the 2023 CONEXPO-CON/AGG exhibition, Festival Lot, Booth F9627, March 14–18, 2023 in Las Vegas. Fascan and JekkoUSA are the exclusive U.S. distributors of Fassi articulating cranes and Jekko minicranes, respectively.
Attendees will be able to see the new line of AlmaCrawlers, as well as the Fassi-Jekko hybrid JF Series, which combines the power of a knuckleboom crane with the maneuverability of a minicrane.
FASCAN will be displaying 10 truck-mounted cranes, from one of its smallest—the “micro” M40A.1.14—to one of its largest—the F1750. Also on display will be the F600SE.44—with a 100+ foot vertical reach—modified with a saw attachment for tree care applications.
JEKKOUSA will be exhibiting nine models of minicranes, including three from the JF Series, three from the MPK Series of pick-and-carry cranes, and the SPX650 minicrane with a maximum lift of more than 11,000 lbs.
Fascan will be also exhibiting three models of ALMACRAWLERS with a range of carrying capacities from 6,610 lbs. to 6 tons. These multiloaders are radio-remote controlled, tracked carriers able to transport heavy loads and keep them secure and level on uneven surfaces.
All three equipment lines will have their teams of specialists available at Booth F9627, including CEO Bernie Faloney and representatives from the equipment’s manufacturers to answer questions about the company’s newest equipment, safety components, and developing trends in the U.S. and international crane markets.

Fassi leads the field in prototype testing
Some crane manufacturers have shifted their prototype testing from physical to digital: instead of actual repetitions, product failures are calculated via algorithm and computer simulation.
Fassi is not one of those companies.
As part of its standard testing, Fassi:
As a result, Fassi’s testing procedures exceed both E.U. and U.S. standards and requirements.

As global concerns about the COVID-19 outbreak grows, Fascan and Fassi are doing everything we can to safeguard the health of our customers, our staff and our community at large, and also maintain the highest quality of service and support for you. Here are a few things you need to know as we progress through the next few weeks:
First, we have asked our employees to work remotely for their own safety, and also to answer state and federal governments’ requests to stay home.
Next, our parts and service departments will still be on hand to answer phone calls and emails.
Finally, the staff of Albino-Italy-based Fassi, for whom Fascan is the exclusive U.S. distributor, are working from their homes where practical. The Fassi manufacturing plant is closed at this time, but they are hopeful to be up and running by early April.
Please do not hesitate to call any of our team members for any concerns that you have. We will try our very best to accommodate your needs.
Together we will get through this crisis and we will come out the other side stronger and better.
Sincerely
Bernie Faloney

Fascan International
Fascan International drew an enthusiastic response to its 2020 ConExpo exhibit in Las Vegas, March 10-13.
The show, which covered some 2.5 million square feet of exhibitor space, and despite experiencing some disruption and an early-wrap up due to concerns over COVID-19, drew more than 2,000 exhibitors and 100,000 visitors.
The Fascan/Fassi exhibit site saw hundreds of visitors at this year’s show. Many of those attendees showed special interest in the JF545, a powerful, versatile representative of the new JF Series, which combines the accessibility and mobility of a Jekko minicrane with the power and lifting/placing capabilities of a Fassi knuckleboom crane.
The JF545 features a maximum lift of 34,100 lbs., a maximum horizontal reach of 91.8' (with jib), and a maximum vertical reach of 98.4' (with jib)
“Crane owners and operators are on a continuous search for ways to lift more, in more efficient ways, and within a smaller footprint,” said Bernie Faloney, president and CEO of Fascan. “We opened up a whole new realm of possibilities for them this year with the JF Series, and the response was fantastic.”
ConExpo is one of the largest exhibitions of heavy equipment in the world, and the largest in North America. It is held every three years for the construction and concrete industries.
Fascan International is pleased to introduce the 7-story Fassi F375SE.14, with a maximum lifting capacity of more than 7,900 lbs., a vertical reach of 84' and a horizontal reach of more than 72'.
This new model features an extension on the main boom and 4 extensions on the outer boom, allowing operators to extend the boom vertically to 38' with a load before knuckling over and extending it to its full reach.
Another enhancement on the F375SE is that the inner boom can be extended at any angle. On previous load charts, the inner boom angle could only be extended after the boom was above 45 degrees.
These features offer unique benefits to the operation of unloading and distributing stacks of wallboard over obstacles in a variety of situations.
The F375SE.14 and its F375SE.13 counterpart also feature a ten-sided boom, which increases the overall strength and stability of the boom when compared to a traditional diamond-shaped structure.
It also incorporates stronger steel into the boom structure which allows for a lighter overall design without affecting the crane's maximum lift. This increases the overall vehicle payload and enables operators to carry more and make fewer trips to and from a jobsite.
Dealers and technicians were given a tour of these and other features:

Fascan's work with University of Maryland's shock trauma center was showcased in an article in the January 2019 issue of American Cranes & Transport about the versatility and range of articulating cranes.
Don't miss Fascan's exhibit at Booth #1537 of the 2018 Tree Care Industry Expo (TCI), November 8-10 in Charlotte, NC.
Fascan will be featuring several industry-specific cranes, including a including a Western Star 4700 with a F515RA2.26 tree service crane and a freightliner with a Fassi grapple unit.
TCI Expo is the only industry trade show focused on advancing tree care businesses, including diverse exhibitors and equipment, as well as workshops, seminars and discussions for experts to share their knowledge and best practices in business and arboriculture. Go to the Expo website.

In the June 2018 issue of American Cranes and Transport, Fascan president Bernie Faloney offers insight into the new technical capabilities and the rise in popularity of articulating cranes.
Fascan is pleased to introduce Jackie Stacey as its new parts representative.
Jackie will be managing all sales, shipping and inventory control for the parts department, as well as fielding all parts-related customer inquiries.
"Fascan maintains more than $5 million in crane parts in our headquarters so we can respond quickly to customer requests and get cranes back on the job," says Bernie Faloney, Fascan CEO. "Jackie's experience with distribution and inventory makes her an asset to our team."
Jackie comes to Fascan from Sephora, where she was an inventory control coordinator at that company's Maryland distribution center. She also traveled out of state on Sephora's behalf to train inventory personnel in support of the launch of new distribution centers.
Equipment will be used in the construction of artificial reefs
Fascan International announced today it will donate five electric cranes to the Ocean City Reef Foundation (OCRF) of Ocean City, Md.
Valued at close to $290,000, the cranes will be used by OCRF to load reef building materials onto barges for off load at the reef sites several miles off shore and in other ways that further the mission of the organization.
Reef building materials, which can range from scrap iron and concrete to boats and other vessels, rest on the ocean floor and become the starting point for a reef community. Mussels, sponges and corals use the new material as a foundation to create a living reef which in turn hosts populations of fish, lobsters, crabs and shrimp that feed on the reef and are food for other sea life.
As part of the contribution, Fascan dealer Crane Specialists, Inc. of Manheim, Pa., will maintain the cranes to keep them operational while in OCRF’s service.
“We’re overwhelmed by this donation,” says Monty Hawkins, OCRF’s director. “These cranes will make it easier for us to not only build the aquatic ecosystem, but also stimulate economic growth for our area in the form of diving, recreational fishing and eco-tourism.”
“We saw an opportunity to match equipment with an organization that needed it,” says Bernie Faloney, Fascan CEO. “It’s a great thing when businesses can work together to share resources—especially when it benefits the larger community.”

Fascan International drew an enthusiastic response to its exhibit during the 2017 Con Expo trade show in Las Vegas, March 7-11. Fascan displayed a variety of light-to-heavy-duty articulating crane of different lifting and reaching capacities.
The show, which covered some 2.5 million square feet of exhibitor space, drew more than 120,000 visitors. Attendees that stopped by the Fascan site showed special interest in Fascan's largest crane, the F2150 RAL, with a maximum lifting capacity of 160 tm.
In addition to the large capacity equipment models, one of the most sought-after features this year was the newest generation of telematics --the use of cloud-based computer technology to coordinate wireless communications and reporting between equipment and its owners and operators.
These systems, like the Fassi IoC system, manages all of the information available from the operation and location of the crane, to maintenance and usage statuses, to the overall performance status of the machine.
"Crane operators used to have to keep tabs on these kinds of things using a pencil and a logbook," said Bernie Faloney, president and CEO of Fascan. "Now, cranes can report on themselves, relaying their own updates about their overall performance and status."
Con Expo is one of the largest exhibitions of heavy equipment in the world. It is held every three years for the construction and concrete industries.
Fassi cranes have been globally recognized as some of the best designed and supported articulated cranes available. Fascan will be featuring several of these industry-specific cranes at the 2017 IRE in Las Vegas, including: the F365RA.2.25L322, built by Truck Crane Solutions (TCS) of Baltimore, Md, and the F330SE.24 sheetrock crane, a proven industry workhorse built by ERS of Tampa, Fla.
Fascan will each have its teams of specialists available at Booth numbers 1505 and 303, including CEO Bernie Faloney, to answer questions about the company's newest equipment and developing trends in the U.S. and international crane market.
