16 Ton Knuckle Boom Truck Mounted Crane

F400KC-05 ​​16-Ton Knuckle Boom Truck-Mounted Crane

In construction sites with limited space, conventional lifting equipment is often difficult to position. Furthermore, the high self-weight of such equipment frequently consumes a significant portion of a vehicle chassis's payload capacity—a long-standing challenge in the industry. Many buyers are also concerned about equipment with limited functionality, which may struggle to handle diverse lifting requirements. The F400KC-05 ​​16-ton knuckle boom truck-mounted crane was developed specifically to address these issues. It features a maximum rated lifting capacity of 16,000 kg, a lifting moment of 40 t·m, and 360° continuous slewing. With a self-weight of 4,150 kg, it requires only 1,400 mm of mounting space and offers a maximum operating radius of 12 meters. Its lightweight design, combined with a folding (knuckle) boom structure, enables stable lifting operations in confined spaces while preserving ample payload capacity for the chassis.

As a knuckle boom crane, its operational characteristics complement those of telescopic boom cranes. The unit supports optional components such as remote controls, hydraulic winches, personnel baskets, and grapples, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including cargo handling, construction, and high-altitude maintenance. In addition to this truck-mounted knuckle boom crane, we also offer ship-mounted telescopic boom cranes, marine knuckle boom cranes, grapple machines, and forestry cranes (log loaders). We provide comprehensive lifting solutions for land-based, marine, and forestry applications, catering to procurement needs in sectors such as logistics, municipal services, forestry, and maritime support.

Product Features

1. Compact structure: With a self-weight of 4,150 kg and a mounting space requirement of only 1,400 mm, it is compatible with most mainstream truck chassis.

2. 360° continuous slewing and a maximum operating radius of 12 meters ensure excellent adaptability in confined workspaces.

3. Versatile configuration: Supports a wide range of optional attachments, allowing for flexible adaptation to different operational requirements.

Operational Tips

1. Before every lifting operation, fully extend the outriggers and verify the rated load for the specific working radius using the load chart; overloading is strictly prohibited.

2. During periods of intermittent use or long-term storage, retract the boom, release any residual pressure in the hydraulic lines, and conduct regular inspections of the hydraulic hoses and fasteners.

FAQ

Q1: What are the hydraulic specifications and chassis requirements for this model?

A: The hydraulic system operates at 28 MPa with a recommended flow rate of 55 L/min; the oil tank capacity is 160 L. The chassis must provide a 1400 mm mounting space and meet the necessary power specifications. You may submit your chassis documentation prior to purchase, and we will assist in verifying compatibility.

Q2: Can accessories such as grapples or personnel baskets be ordered separately?

A: Yes. Remote controls, hydraulic winches, personnel baskets, and grapples are available as optional add-ons. We can also provide integrated solutions for timber-handling (forestry crane) applications.

Q3: How are warranty and after-sales services handled?

A: The entire unit is covered by a standard warranty, which includes core hydraulic components. We prioritize remote troubleshooting for any issues and ensure a continuous supply of original spare parts. We also provide after-sales technical consultation for other equipment, such as marine knuckle-boom and telescopic-boom cranes.

Q4: What is the difference in application between a knuckle-boom crane and a telescopic-boom crane?

A: Knuckle-boom cranes are better suited for operations in confined spaces with numerous surrounding obstacles, whereas telescopic-boom cranes are ideal for open areas, focusing on long-reach, straight-boom lifting. The choice should be based on your specific site conditions.
