This article introduces the 10 Ton Knuckle Boom Truck Mounted Crane, highlighting its compact build, flexible slewing and configurable attachments such as Grab Machine. It differentiates Knuckle Boom Crane from Telescopic boom crane, and distinguishes this land truck-mounted model from Ship Telescopic Boom Crane and Marine Knuckle Boom Crane for marine use, as well as Forest Crane (Grab Wood Machine) for timber work. It explains its strengths in confined-space mobile lifting and versatile on-site operation.
This article focuses on the shot-blasting process used in the production of lifting equipment. Shot-blasting machines employ physical impact to clean steel structural components, removing mill scale, weld spatter, and rust, while simultaneously relieving residual welding stresses. The process creates a uniform microscopic texture on the substrate, which enhances paint adhesion and improves corrosion resistance. This technique strengthens the fatigue resistance and salt-spray corrosion resistance of offshore lifting equipment—such as ship-mounted telescopic boom cranes and marine knuckle boom cranes—ensuring consistent surface quality for telescopic boom cranes, knuckle boom cranes, grab machines, and forestry cranes (log-handling cranes). As a clean, eco-friendly, dry physical processing method, shot-blasting is well-suited for assembly-line production and serves as a critical process for enhancing the overall reliability of the equipment and reducing the need for future maintenance.
