8 ton knuckle boom articulating crane

Lift and reach for every 8 ton model, plus the brochure.

PM builds the 8 ton knuckle boom crane in several boom configurations, so the choice is really about reach: a shorter boom lifts more close in, a longer one puts less weight further out. The models below are the ones we supply and service.

What this size is usually doing

A 8 ton PM is a truck-mounted articulating crane: it folds behind the cab, so the deck stays usable, and it reaches over an obstacle instead of around it. Ours go out on drywall and wallboard work, precast, roofing, poured wall and general construction.
