Knuckle Boom Crane

Knuckle boom cranes have been extremely popular within Europe, since they have a lot of narrow roads. There are much greater restrictions on trucks in Europe than there are in North America too.



Knuckle boom cranes have taken some time to break into the material handling market within North America, but today, more contractors and more business owners know the benefits of using knuckle boom cranes and hence, the demand for this machine has greatly increased.



Advantages of Knuckle Boom Technology

The articulated crane or knuckle boom is looks somewhat similar to a standard crane. The main difference is that similar to a finger, the boom bends at the knuckle in the middle, thus the name. This machine extends a long way but is also capable of folding down to a compact size. These are some of the benefits of using a knuckle boom rather than a telescopic or stiff-boom crane.

Because it is lighter to run and more compact, the knuckle boom provides an increased payload and a lower profile. In order to carry loads farther, a stiff-boom crane needs to be extended higher. A knuckle boom provides horizontal extensions that enable it to reach longer distances at a lower height.



A telescopic crane was needed more before to do lots of tasks. These jobs are capable of being completed now using an articulated crane due to the long reaches that compete with telescopic cranes. The reach of knuckle booms has increased in the past ten years. Several models could extend as far as 92' or 28 meters and even higher.



Amongst the major benefits of the knuckle boom crane is the precise control the operators have over their cargo. Loads could be placed with much greater efficiency on the ground or on the roof or on higher floors of buildings. Last of all, knuckle boom crane are very versatile because they are easy to maneuver around tricky obstacles on a jobsite.
