Besides a crane’s specifications, such as horizontal reach and lift capacity, buyers must also consider the carrier vehicle’s mileage, condition, truck body or trailer type, and other factors.

Specifications

Knuckle boom cranes are also known as “loader cranes,” “articulating cranes,” “picker cranes,” “lorry loaders,” and “long-reach cranes,” among other names. Their outreach or horizontal reach when deployed may range from 2.7 to 41.3 metres (9 to 135 feet). A crane’s knuckle joint lets it fold down compactly for transport

Some manufacturers rate their knuckle boom cranes’ capacity as a lifting moment class in tonne-meters or kilonewton-metres, such as 8 t-m (78.5 kN-m). Other knuckle booms are rated by the maximum weight they can lift, such as a 2-tonne (2.2-U.S.-ton) truck crane. Outriggers and detachable counterweights can add stability and enhance a crane’s overall hoist capacity.

Available Features

Some knuckle boom crane manufacturers add value to their products through the addition of helpful tech features, such as Fassi’s Drive by Fassi system, which allows a Volvo truck with a Fassi knuckle boom crane to be driven around the worksite using the crane’s remote control. Some cranes have stability control systems electronically connected to the vehicle, which take the positions of its outriggers into account. Various knuckle boom cranes have vibration dampening systems to limit physical shocks to the carrier vehicle and enhance overall stability.
