Knuckle Boom Cranes

Powerful Lifting with Maximum Flexibility

PALFINGER knuckle boom cranes are built to lift heavy loads even with the jib fully extended, offering exceptional flexibility for a wide range of lifting operations. Perfect for pipe and boat handling, they ensure safe and efficient loading, unloading, and material transfer in demanding marine environments.

Superior Control for Offshore Operations

Thanks to their outstanding radius flexibility and precise control, these cranes perform reliably during offshore lifting operations, even in higher sea states. Operators benefit from smooth, accurate movements that enhance both safety and efficiency at sea.

Compact Strength

Lightweight and compact in their parking position, PALFINGER MARINE knuckle boom cranes deliver powerful performance in limited spaces. With lifting moments from 130 to 30,000 kNm and numerous optional features, each crane is tailored to meet specific operational needs and customer requirements.

Applications

Insert subheadline (optional)

Marine

PALFINGER knuckle boom cranes for marine applications are designed to move extremely heavy loads while their compact fold-down position leaves more space on deck. With precise control and stable performance, they are ideal for offshore lifting operations. Commonly used as provision cranes, service cranes, and container or cargo handling cranes, these versatile solutions are the preferred choice for reliable and efficient heavy lifting in all marine environments.

Offshore

PALFINGER MARINE knuckle boom cranes are engineered to lift heavy loads with the jib fully extended, providing operators exceptional flexibility during lifting operations. Even under severe weather conditions and heavy seas, their precise control minimizes oscillating movements of suspended loads. Commonly used as deck cranes (shipboard), ship-to-ship cranes, pipe handling cranes, and boat handling cranes, they are the ideal solution for reliable offshore lifting on rigs, platforms, and vessels operating in higher sea states.

Wind

PALFINGER knuckle boom cranes for the wind industry ensure safe and efficient loading and unloading of supply vessels, as well as flexible material handling on offshore substations. Commonly used as substation cranes, they are customized to perform reliably in any sea state (SWH). With optional features that enhance safety and functionality, these cranes are designed in line with customer requirements and industry regulations.
