Articulated Cranes are Worth Reaching for

摘要

Given its capabilities, the articulat-ed (or knuckle boom) cranedoesn't always get the attention it deserves in tree care. However, it's really a technology that bears some consideration.The first thing we need to do is to agree on some terms. In a pure definition, the knuckle boom is generally one that has a single joint about halfway along the crane boom; an articulated boom can have one or more. Because the terms are used interchangeably in the business, for the purposes of this article, we will do the same. These cranes are designed to lift and place materials. Conversely, devices such as tracked lifts and atrium lifts are not designed to lift or move material.
