3-Ton Truck-Mounted Knuckle Boom Crane – All-in-One Lifting & Transport Solution for Iraq’s Hotel Logistics & Small-Scale Construction

Overview

The 3-ton truck-mounted knuckle boom crane is a highly versatile, cost-efficient piece of equipment that integrates a hydraulic folding boom with a heavy-duty cargo truck chassis—engineered specifically for the fast-paced logistics and construction needs in Iraq. This all-in-one solution eliminates the need for separate lifting and transportation vehicles, making it ideal for hotel material delivery, interior fit-outs, small construction sites, and urban/rural logistics in Baghdad, Erbil, Basra, and across the country.

Designed for operation in tight spaces (e.g., hotel backyards, narrow city streets) and harsh desert conditions, it excels at loading/unloading heavy building materials, hotel furniture, HVAC units, and construction tools directly at the job site. As a factory-direct product, it offers customizable truck sizes, boom configurations, and durable construction, ensuring it meets the unique demands of Iraq’s hospitality and construction sectors.

Core Features & Advantages

1. Versatile Knuckle Boom Design for Tight Spaces

3-Ton Maximum Lifting Capacity: Optimized for light-to-medium loads critical to hotel projects, including 1–2 ton hotel room furniture sets, 2.5 ton split HVAC units, and 3 ton construction material bundles (steel bars, concrete blocks).
Multi-Section Folding Boom: 4-section hydraulic knuckle boom with a maximum horizontal reach of 8–10 meters and vertical lifting height of 10–12 meters. The folding design allows the boom to retract into a compact space (≤2 meters) when not in use—perfect for navigating narrow hotel alleys and urban traffic.
360° Continuous Rotation: Equipped with a high-torque slewing bearing for full-circle rotation, enabling the operator to lift and place loads from any angle without repositioning the truck—saving up to 30% of on-site operation time.
Precision Hydraulic Control: Proportional hydraulic valves deliver smooth, precise boom movement (lifting, luffing, slewing) for delicate tasks like installing hotel chandeliers or glass panels, reducing the risk of load damage.

2. All-in-One Lifting & Transport Efficiency

Integrated Cargo Truck Chassis: Built on a 4x2 or 6x2 heavy-duty truck chassis with a 5–8 cubic meter cargo box, enabling one-stop transportation and on-site lifting of materials. Eliminates the cost of hiring separate cranes and trucks for logistics.
Quick Deployment: The hydraulic boom can be fully extended and ready to lift in under 2 minutes, with intuitive controls that require minimal training—ideal for small construction teams and hotel logistics staff.
High Mobility: Road-legal design with a maximum speed of 80 km/h, allowing the crane to travel directly on Iraq’s highways between warehouses and job sites (e.g., from a Baghdad supplier to a hotel construction site in Erbil).

3. Durability Engineered for Iraq’s Climate & Terrain

Heat & Dust Resistant Systems:
- Hydraulic oil cooler with a high-capacity fan to prevent overheating in Iraq’s 50°C summer temperatures, ensuring continuous operation during long workdays.
- Sealed hydraulic cylinders and electrical connectors with IP65 dust-proof rating to protect against sand and dust ingress—critical for desert job sites and sandstorm conditions.
Rugged Construction: High-strength Q345B steel boom with anti-corrosion coating (zinc-rich primer + epoxy topcoat) to resist rust in coastal Basra’s humidity and chemical corrosion in industrial zones.
Stable Load Handling: Equipped with hydraulic outriggers (front/rear) that extend to provide a stable base for lifting at maximum reach, preventing tip-overs on uneven ground (e.g., unpaved hotel construction sites).

4. User-Friendly Operation & Enhanced Safety

Dual Operation Modes:
- Cab Control: Air-conditioned operator cab with ergonomic joysticks and a digital display (English/Arabic interface) for monitoring load weight, boom angle, and hydraulic pressure.
- Wireless Remote Control (Optional): Portable remote for operation outside the cab, allowing the operator to stand in the best position to view the load—essential for tight hotel spaces and precise placement tasks.
Comprehensive Safety Protections:
- Overload Protection Valve: Automatically cuts off hydraulic power when exceeding the 3-ton rated capacity to prevent structural damage.
- Boom Angle Limiter: Prevents over-luffing and boom damage during high-reach lifts.
- Outrigger Safety Alarm: Audible alert if outriggers are not fully deployed before lifting.
- Emergency Stop: Hardwired and remote emergency stop buttons for instant shutdown in critical situations.
Easy Maintenance: Modular hydraulic system with quick-access filters and oil ports; standardized spare parts (seals, hoses, valves) are widely available in Iraq, minimizing maintenance downtime.

5. Customizable Configurations for Project Flexibility

Boom & Capacity Options: Upgrade to 5-ton lifting capacity or extend the boom reach to 12 meters for taller hotel renovation tasks (e.g., rooftop equipment installation).
Truck Customization: Choose from 4x2 (light-duty) or 6x2 (heavy-duty) chassis; customize the cargo box size (5–10 cubic meters) or add a flatbed for transporting oversized hotel equipment (e.g., bathtubs, kitchen appliances).
Power System: 180–220 HP diesel engine (Cummins/Weichai) compliant with EU Stage II emissions, offering low fuel consumption (12–15 L/100 km) for cost-effective logistics operations.
Accessories: Optional winch attachment for lifting loads from below ground (e.g., hotel basements) or a grab bucket for handling loose materials (sand, gravel) at construction sites.
