Heavy Duty Knuckle Boom Cranes For Sale

About Knuckle Boom Cranes

Knuckle boom cranes are generally truck-mounted units that feature a joint in the main boom, letting the crane fold against the mast when not in use. This design makes a knuckle boom crane much more compact than a standard boom truck crane. When folded for transport, these cranes often leave room on the truck for hauling additional payload, and a knuckle boom crane requires less off-duty storage space than a standard one, as well.

Uses For Knuckle Boom Cranes

Knuckle boom cranes are often attached to flatbed trucks (referred to as “mounted” cranes), but they’re also popular for offshore vessels due to their compact nature. You’ll often find unmounted knuckle boom cranes for sale, meaning that you are purchasing the crane only and will need to mount it on a truck, boat, or other vehicle or surface prior to operation.
