When thinking about the type of jobs that knuckle boom cranes can do, many people only think of them as a way to deliver construction materials, such as unloading drywall, lifting shingles onto a roof, or transporting other construction goods. But knuckle boom cranes are so much more than that. These are versatile machines and have many uses - beyond the general building material delivery industry!
- Vast range of applications: Across the globe, knuckle boom cranes are widely used in various industries, from glass handling to HVAC placement, tree care to disaster recovery operations to crane and rigging. The list is pretty much endless, which highlights their versatility and effectiveness.
- But inside the US, the uses for knuckle booms are pretty narrow. During initial conversations, new clients often ask, "Isn’t this a big crane just for delivering drywall? Is that market significant enough? That’s not what we do, so will this crane suit our client base?" These are valid questions, especially for those whose experience and understanding of knuckle boom cranes is limited, but these perceptions are changed when we can get in front of the customer and give them a real-life demonstration - ideally at one of their job sites. Once clients see the crane in action, experience its versatility, and see how efficient the crane makes their daily operations, the customers finally “get it.” They see the knuckle boom’s power, strength, and precision, and it’s an eye-opening experience. The demo is proof that the knuckle boom can revolutionize almost any operation - and are so much more than the “general building material delivery crane of choice.”
