Knuckle Boom Cranes
Versatile Hydraulic Foldable Cranes for Maximum Reach, Utility & On-Site Efficiency
Engineered for compactness, operational ease, and unmatched multi-utility, the Liftmak LMFTC 8000/12000/15000/18000 cranes are India’s trusted solution for handling a wide range of tasks.
Compact Mounting with Full Functionality
Occupying just 1.55 meters of lateral space on the truck chassis, these cranes leave ample room for material storage, allowing seamless self-loading and unloading operations. Ideal for urban and rural jobs alike, they can be rear- or front-mounted to suit load access preferences.
Precision Inching & Smooth Load Placement
With highly responsive inching controls, operators can place sensitive equipment like transformers on poles with pinpoint accuracy. The elevated operator seat on the slew column ensures clear visibility of the hook and boom, improving control and safety.
Multi-Purpose Attachments for Any Task
From log and pole handling to desilting drains with a clamshell grab, or even drilling with hydraulic augers — these cranes adapt to your operational needs. Optional man baskets also transform the crane into an elevated work platform for tasks like streetlight repairs or inspections.
Built for Indian Conditions, Backed by ISO Quality
Crafted at Liftmak’s certified facility, the LMFTC cranes are designed to withstand rugged conditions and intensive workloads. Hydraulic telescopic booms, 4 outriggers, and easy-access seating ensure performance, safety, and longevity on every deployment.
