What is a knuckle crane?

What sets knuckle cranes apart is their ability to bend in different directions, just like your finger. The first question everyone asks is: “What can it lift?” That answer is not as simple as your typical 10, 20, 30, 50, 90-tonne cranes. Those cranes are identical and have very limited lifting options. For Knuckle Cranes, the maximum weight limit varies based on the required distance and angle adjustments, ultimately determining what they can handle. Like all cranes, the further out you go, the less you can lift. Since knuckle cranes have adjustable booms, they can reach farther than your typical crane with a single bend in the boom. To know which crane is best for your lift, always consult a knuckle crane specialist to see which one(s) are right for your needs.
