Knuckle Boom Crane
Within Europe, Knuckle boom cranes have been really popular, because the roads are usually narrow. There are a lot greater limitations on trucks in Europe than there are within North America as well.

Knuckle boom cranes have taken some time to break into the material handling market in North America, but these days, more business owners and more contractors know the benefits of knuckle boom cranes and therefore, the demand for this equipment has significantly increased.

Benefits of Knuckle Boom Technology
A knuckle boom or an articulated crane is similar in looks to a standard crane. The main distinction is that the boom bends at the knuckle in the middle, similar to a finger, hence the name. This particular machine extends a long way but is could also fold down to a compact size. These are a few of the benefits of using a knuckle boom over a stiff-boom or telescopic crane.

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

Before, there were lots of tasks which used to require a telescopic crane. These tasks can be completed now with an articulated crane because of the long reaches that compete with telescopic cranes. The reach of knuckle booms has increased in the past 10 years. Several models can extend as far as 92' or 28 meters and even higher.

The precise control the operators have over their load is one of the vital advantages of the knuckle boom crane. Because the loads could be positioned exactly where they are needed, on the ground or on the roof or on higher floors of buildings, much greater efficiency is attained. Lastly, knuckle boom crane are very versatile since they are easy to maneuver around difficult obstacles on a jobsite.
