Knuckle boom cranes by capacity
Every capacity PM builds, from 2 ton up to 85 ton. Pick a size for its model list, lift and reach figures and brochure.
A knuckle boom crane folds behind the cab instead of lying along the deck, so the truck keeps its payload, and it reaches over an obstacle rather than around it. That is why they end up on drywall, precast, roofing, poured wall and general construction work.
Capacity is quoted in ton-metres, so a "20 ton" crane does not lift 20 tons at full reach. Each page below carries the real numbers: the lift and the reach for every boom configuration in that size.

The small end, 2 to 9.5 ton, covers service bodies and light delivery. The middle, 10 to 30 ton, is where most drywall and precast work sits. Above 30 ton you are into heavy precast, structural steel and specialist lifting.

Sales, parts or service. Give us the model and the problem and we will tell you what it takes.
Not sure which size?
Two numbers decide it: the heaviest thing you lift, and how far out you have to place it. Call (877) 697-6272 with both and we will name the crane. Buying short is expensive and buying long is expensive in a different way.
