Which Boom Type Is Right for Your Applications?
Straight Boom (Telescopic) — Best for Reach & Simplicity
- Longer straight-line outreach in open areas
- Simple structure, stable operation, easy maintenance
- Great for point-to-point lifting and placement
Knuckle Boom (Articulating) — Best for Tight Space & Flexibility
- Foldable joints lift over/around obstacles
- Faster positioning in confined job sites
- Ideal for urban work and complex angles
Rated Capacity vs Real Lifting Capacity
Rated tonnage is the theoretical maximum under specified conditions. Actual lifting capacity depends on working radius, boom extension, boom angle, outrigger spread, and ground condition.
