Founded in 1979 JDN Monocrane was a small components manufacturer. When JDN Monocrane first entered the lifting equipment market it purchased hoists and components from overseas and fitted them to girders manufactured locally. Dissatisfaction with the imported products lead JDN Monocrane to start modifying them to suit specific customers needs. This substantially improved customer service, the finished product and further developed skillsets within JDN Monocrane.
