Loading and unloading can be a burden. Even with a truck mounted crane, there are bound to be some occasional missteps that may set you behind. This can cost a couple of minutes to a couple of hours.

Ouch.

Problems are bound to come up on the job, that’s a fact.

However, the addition of a small knuckle boom truck crane can increase the speed at which you are able to load and unload a truck.

A knuckle boom will allow you to stay ahead of schedule with its speed and efficiency, making the occasional long-loading time not “that big of a deal.”

Let’s explain.

Knuckle boom truck crane speed

By the sheer nature of its design, a small knuckle boom truck crane can load a truck more quickly than its telescoping counterparts.

The ability to perform multiple movements at a single point in time allows the knuckle boom truck crane to transport cargo to and from the truck body with ease and efficiency.

The seemingly small amount of time that you make up for by moving each piece with a knuckle boom compounds over time.

Minutes do add up.

The time-saving efforts of knuckle boom can get you out of a pinch when you need it.

Better control

Accompanying the ability to load quickly, the knuckle boom also allows for complete control over cargo being moved.

This provides two key benefits.

First, the ability to control cargo allows for loading and unloading to be better protected against accidents and unforeseeable lost time incidents.

Secondly, the control allowed by the knuckle boom truck crane greatly increases the cargo to be loaded in the correct area the first time. Rather than having to rearrange and reconfigure, you can better place each piece on the loading surface for a seamless overall loading experience.

Compact abilities

A small knuckle boom truck crane provides a compact solution to loading that will inevitably hasten your ability to move from site to site quickly.

Recall we discussed the minutes of time savings adding up over the course of a work day.

The compact nature of a knuckle boom crane, and its ability to retract into a resting position quickly provides yet another time saving mechanism.

Moving quickly from site to site requires quick storage and swift preparation to hit the road.

A small knuckle boom truck crane will retract to its dormant position upon completion of the loading process, allowing you to hit the road quicker.

Full range of motion

We spoke earlier about cargo control and the ability to strategically load in one fluid motion.

The second degree of this principle rests in the ability to rotate from side to side with ease.

Allowing a truck crane to pick up cargo from either side of the truck without any sort of “rearranging” provides yet another time saving benefit that can prove beneficial as the minutes start to add up.
