Operated crane and deck in one unit
Every picker arrives with its own deck, so the material and the crane show up together: one mobilization, one invoice, one operator responsible for the lift.
Service
Knuckle Boom Crane Service
Truck mounted knuckle boom cranes that reach over the obstacle instead of around it.
Scope
What this service covers.
One call covers the crane, the deck and the operator.
Tight access placement
Knuckle boom geometry folds through gates, over fences and around hydro clearances where a conventional boom cannot set up.
Rigging and load handling
Slings, spreader bars, clamps and basket rigging supplied for standard picks; engineered rigging coordinated when a lift plan calls for it.
Short notice and scheduled work
Same day calls when a unit is free, and standing bookings for multi-day site work with a consistent operator.
