Snorkel Knuckle Boom Lift Long Beach

A knuckle boom crane looks similar to a standard crane. The key difference is that the boom is capable of folding back like a finger as the boom articulates at the "knuckle" near the center. This allows the equipment to be able to transform into a compact size for storage and maneuvering.



Normally, the arm on a knuckle boom crane is somewhat a bit lighter than boom truck cranes. The crane arm is designed to allow more payloads to be carried on the back of the mounted vehicle. Nearly all knuckle boom cranes are mounted at the back of the cab. This leaves the entire bed of the truck empty.



Interestingly enough, smaller models of knuckle boom cranes can be utilized without a certified crane operator, as long as the maximum capacity is less than 15,000 lbs. or if the maximum boom length is less than 25 feet long.



There are different types of control systems for the cranes. Like for instance, there is radio remote control, control from the ground, stand up and seated control. The radio remote systems are capable of running the crane as well as starting it. Furthermore, many models come outfitted with a computer readout system that provides system readouts at once reporting if the crane is overloaded or not.
