Knuckle Boom Crane Trucks and Folding Loader Arms
Knuckle boom crane trucks, also known as loader cranes, feature an articulated arm mounted on a commercial truck chassis. The side profile of this vehicle highlights the folding boom sections, hydraulic joints, and terminal hook assembly. Because the boom folds compactly behind the driver cabin or at the rear of the bed, the truck retains space to carry heavy cargo.
Applications of Articulated Crane Trucks
The defining feature of a knuckle boom crane is its center hinge joint, which functions much like a human elbow. This joint allows the boom to bend, reach into tight spaces, and lower materials precisely into cargo beds or building interiors. Construction suppliers and utility companies rely on these trucks to transport pallets of bricks, timber, and heavy machinery without needing a separate mobile crane at the delivery destination.
