F400KC-04
F400KC-04 16-Ton Truck-Mounted Knuckle Boom Crane
A common challenge in the industry is the lack of flexibility when performing lifting operations in confined spaces, compounded by the fact that many cranes of similar capacity are excessively heavy, thereby reducing the truck's available cargo payload. Buyers often struggle to balance lifting performance with the chassis's load-carrying capacity; they require a versatile lifting solution capable of handling diverse operating conditions and supporting a wide range of attachments. The F400KC-04 Knuckle Boom Crane—featuring a rated lifting capacity of 16,000 kg and a rated lifting moment of 40.0 ton-meters—is designed for direct mounting onto cargo trucks. Its folding boom structure enables agile lifting in tight spaces while preserving maximum payload capacity on the chassis. It is a reliable tool for tasks such as logistics transport, infrastructure construction, emergency road repairs, and material handling.
The crane’s hydraulic system operates at a pressure of 28 MPa with a flow rate of 55 L/min, and it includes a 160-liter oil tank. It supports 360° continuous rotation, all while maintaining a total unit weight of just 3,950 kg. In addition to this truck-mounted model, our product portfolio includes telescopic boom cranes, ship-mounted telescopic and knuckle boom cranes, log-handling cranes (grab machines), and forestry cranes—catering to a variety of applications across land, marine, and timber-handling sectors. Optional equipment—such as remote controls, hydraulic winches, grapples, personnel baskets, manual boom extensions, jib extensions, and oil coolers—can be integrated via a modular attachment system to meet the evolving demands of any job site.
Product Features
1. Lightweight Design: With a total unit weight of only 3,950 kg, the crane delivers a 16-ton rated lifting capacity while minimizing the impact on the truck chassis's effective payload.
2. 360° Continuous Rotation: Equipped with a sophisticated hydraulic system, the crane offers smooth, precise operation, providing exceptional maneuverability for lifting tasks in areas with dense obstacles.
Usage Tips
1. Before operation, ensure that the outriggers are fully extended and the ground bearing capacity is sufficient. Never exceed the operating radius or weight limits specified in the load chart.
2. For long-term, high-load operations, it is recommended to regularly check the condition of the hydraulic oil. You may also opt for an additional oil cooler to extend the service life of hydraulic components.
FAQ
Q1: Can this crane be equipped with a grapple for handling timber?
A1: Yes, a grapple can be added for timber-handling tasks. If timber handling is your primary application, you may also consider our specialized "Forest Crane" (log-handling crane) models.
Q2: What are the key aspects of daily equipment maintenance?
A2: Regularly check the hydraulic oil level and quality; lubricate the slewing bearing and hinge pins on schedule; and inspect hydraulic hose seals and the tightness of all fasteners. It is recommended to change the hydraulic oil periodically based on your specific operating conditions.
Q3: Do you support exports and provide installation guidance?
A3: We provide standardized technical drawings and installation manuals, and can offer remote technical support. For marine applications, please inquire about our Ship Telescopic Boom Cranes or Marine Knuckle Boom Cranes.
Q4: What is covered under the warranty?
A4: The crane unit is covered by a warranty as stipulated in the contract, which applies to original manufacturing defects. The warranty does not cover wear-and-tear parts or damage resulting from improper use, such as overloading.
Q5: What are the advantages of this Knuckle Boom Crane compared to a Telescopic Boom Crane?
A5: A knuckle boom crane has a more compact footprint when stowed, making it superior for maneuvering around obstacles in confined spaces. Telescopic boom cranes are better suited for long-reach lifting in open areas. You can choose the model that best fits your specific site requirements.
