The Evolution of Cattini Oleopneumatica at Autopromotec
Since the first time at Autopromotec in Bologna, Cattini Oleopneumatica has been a proud attendant to this event. Since the ‘70s, this international stage offered Cattini the opportunity to present its jacks to the world, showing the constant technological evolution and development of high-quality products.
The exhibition was an important benchmark and opportunity to unveil new features and improvements. Over the years, the repair sector has adapted to the needs and configurations of the vehicles to repair.
The first Cattini jack prototype was presented in the late ‘70s and became the company symbol.
1983: there was a big range expansion developing new workshop pit jacks, too.
A little curiosity: the colour of the first Cattini jacks was yellow. At Autopromotec 1983 they were presented in red.
1995: marked a turning point with the introduction of the first CE Standard establishing a new safety and quality regulations for European manufacturers. Cattini Oleopneumatica met this challenge with the launch of the Mini YAK 300, a compact and high-performance model. The years following the introduction of the CE marking saw the transition to a new generation of jacks: the company continued to refine its products, reducing noise and air consumption, improving efficiency and ensuring superior performance.
Autopromotec exhibition witnessed this constant evolution.
1997: the first YAK 215, YAK 217, and YAK 221 in N versions, and the new YAK 415/N, were presented at the event. The latter was developed from the need for a jack with a longer stroke and lower height, for the new trucks produced during that period. Two years later, a new version of the YAK CANGURO and the portable jacks YAK 215, YAK 217, and YAK 221 in P versions were presented.
The beginning of the new millennium saw the introduction in 2003 of the suspended pit jacks and the YAK 415/P and during 2007 the wheeled pit jack models YAK 2810 and YAK 2815.
In 2009 the company focus expanded to the agricultural sector with the development of the YAK 135 and YAK 330.
2011: the MAMMUT range was presented and further expanded the possibilities.
Since the 2013 Autopromotec edition, the YAK 214 model (P and N versions) stands out as the smallest jack in the world thanks to the weight/lifting capacity ratio: weighting only 15 kg and being able to lift up to 20 t !
Over the years, innovation continued to characterize Cattini products with the YAK 1123 models, suitable for cars and vans, and the YAK 108, one of the first trolley jacks (together with the YAK 109), presented in 2015.
2019 marked an important edition with the redesign of the YAK 215 model.
In the same edition of Autopromotec the MAMMUT ATLAS was also promoted, following its first presentation at Bauma in April of the same year.
In 2022, Autopromotec welcomed the new M200, our highest-capacity MAMMUT jack at 200 t, the result of years of research and development. The previous edition was a success that confirmed Cattini Oleopneumatica's leadership in the sector.
We invite you to visit our stand at the next Autopromotec 2025 edition, which will be held in Bologna from May 21st to 24th 2025 in hall19, Boot B42.
