SECTOR REPORT Ӏ KNUCKLEBOOMS
technology for energy-efficient and completely emission-free operation of loader cranes. With eDRIVE operators can choose between a Li-Ion battery pack, a cable connection to the power grid, or the vehicle engine at the press of a button while operating the crane. Depending on requirements the best drive option can then be selected. The batteries of this smart system can be charged between jobs using the integrated generator. eDRIVE again operates almost silently, making it possible to work in noise-sensitive areas and at night.
j Meanwhile Hyva earlier this
year added a 40tm family to its successful Edge Line loader cranes which combine knuckleboom geometry with telescopic jib sections. There are five models, three of them rack and pinion, the other two with endless slewing. All are double linkage.
The basic model is the HC 401 rack and pinion with 430-degree slewing; the HC 401K is the short boom version; the HC441

proportional has a proportional lift control system (P-LCS) and the HC 405e and HC 445e proportional are the endless-slewing versions. The cranes have from two to
eight extensions, giving 8.02 to 20.90 metres maximum outreach and, except for the K-boom version, 10m jibs. “Their high performance levels and wide range of innovative features and accessories and attachments make these cranes ideally suited to applications
from construction to logistics, oil and gas, and mining, and for maintenance or rental,” says Giuseppe Bevacqua, Hyva’s product manager for cranes. The Edge Line is produced in a new dedicated crane assembly line in Poviglio, Italy.
The lesson might be that
knucklebooms are developing from truck accessories to intelligent lifting machines in their own right. At any rate they are becoming quieter, greener and easier to use.
