16-Ton Knuckle Boom Truck Mounted Crane
Engineered for demanding heavy lifting operations, the 16-Ton Knuckle Boom Truck Mounted Crane is a high-performance articulating crane designed for installation on commercial trucks and trailers. Featuring a 16,000kg maximum lifting capacity, 40 ton·m lifting moment, 360° continuous rotation, and a lightweight high-strength structure, this crane delivers exceptional lifting performance for construction, logistics, industrial maintenance, and material handling applications. The square-shaped outrigger legs provide solid support, while the link rod system and optimized boom elevation angle enhance lifting capacity and operational efficiency.
16-Ton Knuckle Boom Truck Mounted Crane
The 16-Ton Knuckle Boom Truck Mounted Crane is a professional-grade lifting solution designed for businesses that require reliable, efficient heavy lifting capability on their commercial vehicles. Developed using advanced analysis and design techniques, this articulating crane features a lightweight yet high-strength structure that enables efficient load movement while maintaining the durability needed for demanding work sites. The square-shaped legs provide solid support and protect the hydraulic cylinder during lifting operations, ensuring stability even with heavy loads. The link rod system and optimized boom elevation angle work together to significantly enhance lifting capacity, exceeding the 6.3-ton threshold for practical daily operations. The rack cylinder design allows for efficient use of installation space, reducing the truck’s center of gravity and making operation easier and more stable. The symmetrical central design provides better resistance against bending, ensuring the crane maintains its structural integrity even under maximum load conditions. With 360° continuous rotation, operators can position loads precisely without constantly repositioning the vehicle, significantly improving productivity. The powerful hydraulic system delivers 63 L/min flow at 30 MPa pressure, providing smooth, responsive control for precise load positioning. Overall, this crane is an ideal solution for heavy-duty lifting operations, given the efficiency and reliability of its design features.
Key Features:
· 16,000kg Heavy-Duty Lifting Capacity: The crane delivers a maximum lifting capacity of 16 tons with a 40 ton·m lifting moment, providing the power needed for demanding heavy lifting applications including construction materials, industrial equipment, and heavy machinery.
· Lightweight High-Strength Structure: Designed using advanced analysis and development techniques, the crane features a lightweight structure that reduces dead weight on the truck while maintaining the strength needed for heavy loads. This design enables efficient load movement and improves fuel economy.
· Square-Shaped Outrigger Legs: The square-shaped legs provide solid support during lifting operations and protect the hydraulic cylinder from damage. This design enhances stability and safety when handling heavy loads, especially on uneven terrain.
· Enhanced Lifting Capacity with Link Rod System: The link rod system and optimized boom elevation angle significantly enhance the crane’s lifting capacity, exceeding 6.3 tons for practical daily operations. This feature allows operators to handle heavier loads with confidence.
· Rack Cylinder for Space Efficiency: The rack cylinder design allows for efficient use of installation space, reducing the truck’s center of gravity. This results in easier operation, improved vehicle stability, and better weight distribution during transport and lifting.
· Symmetrical Central Design for Bending Resistance: The symmetrical central design provides better resistance against bending, ensuring the crane maintains its structural integrity even under maximum load conditions. This feature contributes to long-term reliability and safety.
· 360° Continuous Rotation: Full operational coverage around the vehicle eliminates the need for constant repositioning. Operators can position loads precisely from any angle, significantly improving productivity on job sites.
· Powerful Hydraulic System: The hydraulic system delivers 63 L/min flow at 30 MPa pressure, providing smooth, responsive control for precise load positioning. The 240L oil tank ensures adequate fluid capacity for extended operations. Recommended power is 37kW.
Application:
· Construction Material Handling: Loading, unloading, and positioning construction materials including steel beams, concrete panels, prefabricated components, and building supplies.
· Logistics & Warehouse Operations: Efficient loading and unloading of heavy cargo from trucks, containers, and railcars at distribution centers and freight terminals.
· Industrial Equipment Installation: Positioning heavy machinery, production equipment, and industrial components during facility maintenance and new equipment installation.
· Heavy Equipment Transport: Assisting with loading and unloading of heavy equipment including excavators, loaders, and industrial machinery from transport vehicles.
· Scrap & Recycling Yards: Handling heavy scrap metal, recycled materials, and waste products at recycling facilities and scrap yards.
· Utility & Infrastructure Projects: Lifting and positioning utility poles, transformers, pipelines, and infrastructure components during construction and maintenance.
