OVERVIEW

LIGHT CRANE, SERIOUS LIFT

Built for daily loading and placement work, HIAB light knuckle boom cranes give you the reach and lift you need without burning payload or deck space. High tensile steel construction keeps weight down, while easy to use control features support safer, faster cycles. TRT helps you match the model to your truck, route, and lift profile.


FEATURES

Hiab light knuckle boom cranes are built from high tensile steel to keep weight down while still delivering the lift you need. Smart control features support safer, faster loading and placement on the job. With reach options from 4.7 to 14.6 m and lift at max reach from 330 to 1380 kg, you can match the crane to your deck space, route, and daily lifts.

  • Mid range capacity spread

    11.0 to 24.7 T-M across the 138 to 298 range.

  • Reach where it matters

    8.2 to 20.9 m.

  • Useful lift at full extension

    Maintain practical capacity at the pointy end, with lift at max reach ranging from 480 to 1800 kg.

  • Optimised hydraulic system

    Designed to support faster load cycles and consistent performance in lift and load applications.

  • High accuracy handling

    Improves placement control and reduces rework when you need the load to land cleanly.

  • Model and variant choice

    TRT backed selection and support

  • Multiple configurations available

    Get straight advice on spec and setup, backed by TRT when it is time to keep the crane working.


SPECIFICATIONS

This range is built for lift and load work where cycle time and placement accuracy decide the day. Lift capacity spans 11.0 to 24.7 T-M, with maximum hydraulic reach from 8.2 to 20.9 m to cover everything from tight yards to longer drops.


At full reach, lift capacity runs from 480 to 1800 kg across the range. That keeps the numbers useful when the boom is out where the job actually happens.

Hiab light knuckle boom faqs

  • How do I choose the right model and variant?

    Match your heaviest typical load and working radius first, then pick the variant that gives the reach you need without giving away capacity you rely on.

  • What does T-M mean on the spec table?

    T-M is a rating based on load and working radius, used to compare crane capacity across the range alongside the lift chart.

  • Do longer reach variants lift less at full extension?

    Yes, as reach increases the lift at maximum reach typically reduces, so you need to size for your real drop points, not just the longest reach.

  • What information does TRT need to recommend the right crane?

    Your typical loads, max working radius, truck details, and your common pickup and drop scenarios are enough for TRT to narrow the right model quickly.
