Specifications

Performance Across the Full Range

The HIAB knuckle boom range gives operators a clear path from everyday truck-mounted lifting to more demanding medium- and heavy-duty work.

TRT helps narrow down the right setup by considering what you need to lift, how far you need to reach, and how the crane needs to work with your truck.

Once the lifting task is clear, boom setup, controls and installation requirements help confirm the final specification.
