Knuckle Boom Telescopic Crane | Multi-Functional Lifting System for Offshore & Industrial Applications

DNV 2.22/API 2C Certified with Active Heave Compensation & 360° Continuous Rotation

Brand: Henan Hengkun Crane Co., Ltd.
Applications: Offshore supply vessels, wind farm installation ships, salvage operations, and marine platforms requiring highly flexible, multi-functional lifting solutions for cargo handling, subsea equipment deployment, and personnel transfers in harsh maritime environments.


Product Overview

Henan Hengkun’s Knuckle Boom Telescopic Crane delivers unparalleled versatility through its articulated boom + telescopic extension design, achieving 150% greater outreach-to-stowed-length ratio vs conventional cranes. Engineered for platform supply, wind turbine installation, and congested ports, capacities range from 50-200T with ±1.5m wave compensation.


Engineering Breakthroughs
