As with most cranes that use a winch, they will provide a much more vertical (straight up and down) than most knuckle boom cranes will. This is especially important when lifting above 15′, as it shows the “curved” load of the crane during the lift.

When you look at the first initial pick on the left side, it really shows the true capacity at 18,932 pounds (makes it a 9 Ton Crane).Shows the capacity of the crane in both metric and imperial capacities.Crane model – 210.5 or 21.5 Meter/tonne rated crane NOT a 21-Ton crane.The one dimension load chart above shows the following information: Because we specialize in light duty knuckle crane training, the information applies directly to that type of crane. So ill go into greater detail, but still in short form here so that that there is greater clarity.

However I did not go into great detail on how to read knuckle boom crane load charts, I simply went over the “other” information that they provided. If you need help using the crane calculator, please contact us or call us on 01206 986610 and one of our team will be happy to help.I recently posted a brief summary on how to read load charts on Linkedin. To use the calculator, please fill in the green boxes with your requirements and only the suitable cranes will be left visible below. This crane size calculator has been produced to allow you to estimate what you will require and to determine the logistical viability and costs associated with hiring our mobile cranes. We are more than happy to assist you with this decision. However, please bear in mind that no lifting exercise is the same and that only qualified Appointed Persons should have the final say in selecting the suitable crane size and type for your project.

Using our easy-to-use, multiple-choice crane size calculator for mobile cranes, you will be able to efficiently estimate the recommended crane size needed based on the weight of your item and the radius it will need to be lifted. There are a range of variables to consider when attempting to calculate what size crane is best suited for your project.
