Compare truck-mounted crane boom types
Choose the boom type after confirming the load weight and dimensions, working radius and height, lift frequency, site obstacles, stabilizer space, chassis loading, ground conditions and destination lifting rules.
| Configuration | Boom system | Lifting task | Route fit | Main advantage | Not suitable for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Knuckle-Boom Crane | Articulating sections fold compactly and position loads around obstacles | Mixed loading, placement and service work in constrained sites | Urban delivery, utilities and sites with limited boom storage space | Flexible articulation and compact folded package | Lifts requiring a simple straight boom path or unconfirmed load chart |
| Stiff-Boom Crane | Straight telescopic boom reaches outward along a direct lifting path | Materials handling on open construction and delivery sites | Sites with clear boom swing, radius and stabilizer space | Direct reach and familiar load-placement pattern | Work positions behind obstacles or beyond the confirmed load chart |
