Knuckle Boom Crane

Knuckle boom cranes have been extremely popular in Europe, as they have many narrow roads. There are much greater limitations on trucks within Europe than there are within North America also.



It has taken some time for knuckle boom crane lifts to break into the North American market, but today, more business owners and more contractors are familiar with the benefits of knuckle boom cranes and therefore, the demand for this particular kind of machine has increased considerably.



Advantages of Knuckle Boom Technology

An articulated crane or a knuckle boom is similar in looks to a standard crane. The main distinction is that like a finger, the boom bends at the knuckle in the middle, thus the name. This particular machinery extends a long way but is can also fold down to a compact size. These are some of the benefits of using a knuckle boom rather than a telescopic or stiff-boom crane.

Since it is lighter to run and more compact, the knuckle boom offers a lower profile and an increased payload. To be able to move loads farther, a stiff-boom crane requires being extended higher. A knuckle boom provides horizontal extensions which allow it to reach longer distances at a lower height.



A telescopic crane was required more in the past to do many tasks. These tasks could be done now using an articulated crane because of the long reaches which compete with telescopic cranes. The reach of knuckle booms has increased in the past decade. Several models are able to extend as far as 92 feet or 28 meters and even higher.



Amongst the major advantages of the knuckle boom crane is the accurate control the operators have over their load. Loads can be positioned with much greater efficiency on the roof, on higher floors of buildings or on the ground. Last of all, knuckle boom crane are easy to maneuver around tricky obstacles on a jobsite and hence, are really versatile.
