Truck with Knuckle Crane

TWL’s Knuckle Boom Crane Trucks feature foldable articulated arms that provide greater flexibility and adaptability compared to straight boom cranes. Built on durable Isuzu and other reliable truck chassis, these cranes are compact yet powerful, enabling heavy lifting in narrow or complex work environments. The articulated design allows the crane to bend and extend like a human arm, making it suitable for precise handling tasks. With advanced hydraulic systems, multi-extension booms, and optional attachments such as grabs or jibs, TWL knuckle boom cranes serve a wide range of industries. Their efficiency, reliability, and long service life make them a preferred choice in both African and Southeast Asian markets.

Key Features
