SECTOR SNAPSHOT Ӏ KNUCKLEBOOM CRANES
UP AND OVER In 2023 Hiab also launched a new 135 tm range loader crane, the iQ.1400 HP, under its Effer brand. The super heavy loader crane is a 135 tonne metre (tm) crane that combines the V10- Force decagonal boom for vertical performance and improved overall precision with Hiab’s SPACEevo control system. It has a maximum vertical
reach of 39.5 metres and with a jib of 26 tm. The boom can work at an 83-degree angle. Hiab says this means it is well suited for operations in metropolitan areas and it can deliver materials with an 'up and over' of 26 metres. Being able to work closer to the buildings, makes it less obtrusive to the surroundings, and the boom profile reduces the side oscillations for high-precision load delivery, says Hiab. The crane’s low weight and
compact frame size also make it possible to install it on smaller trucks than is usual for this lifting category, which lower purchase and operating costs, as well as CO2 emissions. “Customers will be able to
experience a whole new level of heavy load lifting,” said Marcel Boxem, vice president, sales and

product management, loader cranes heavy & super heavy, Hiab. “The engineering, combined with a CombiDrive4 remote control from Olsbergs gives operators
unprecedented precision even at high heights. The 135 tm range delivers performances similar to bigger segment cranes.” So we see the knuckleboom crane sector is evolving not only in terms of facilities and but also in the development of high-

performance, technologically- advanced crane models. The collective efforts of industry leaders, as showcased in this feature, reflect a shared commitment to driving progress, meeting customer expectations, and contributing to the overall advancement of the sector. As we look ahead, these
investments and innovations position the sector for sustained growth and success in the future construction landscape.
