<h2 style="font-size:24px">What is a knuckle boom?</h2>
<p>A <strong>knuckle boom lift</strong> — sometimes called a <strong>boom lift knuckle</strong> or an
  <strong>articulating boom lift</strong> — is a type of man lift with multiple pivot points (or "knuckles") in its arm.
  This jointed design lets the boom move in sections, making it easy to work around obstructions like walls, beams, or
  tight building corners.
</p>

<p>It’s a favorite in industries like construction, maintenance, signage, and arborist work — anywhere you need to get
  up and over something without moving the base unit much.</p>

<h2 style="font-size:24px">Why knuckle booms are ideal for tight spaces</h2>
<p>One of the biggest advantages of a knuckle boom is its ability to snake through congested areas. These lifts are
  built for agility — the articulated arms allow for precise positioning, even in spots that are tricky to access with
  traditional lifts.</p>

<p>If your team works in warehouses, between buildings, under utility lines, or in older city structures with limited
  access, a <strong>knuckle boom man lift</strong> gives you the reach you need without the footprint of larger
  equipment.</p>

<h2 style="font-size:24px">Top use cases for knuckle boom lifts</h2>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Building maintenance</strong> – Cleaning windows, fixing signage, doing facade repairs</li>
  <li><strong>Utility and electrical work</strong> – Especially where lines or poles obstruct straight access</li>
  <li><strong>Tree care</strong> – Arborists love the precision and control these lifts offer</li>
  <li><strong>Interior access</strong> – The electric models are clean and quiet for use indoors</li>
</ul>
<p>They're not limited to one industry — it's more about the job. If you need flexibility at height, a knuckle boom is
  probably already on your radar.</p>

<h2 style="font-size:24px">Buying a knuckle boom – what to know</h2>
<p>Here are four key things Ritchie Bros. recommends you keep in mind when you’re browsing for your next knuckle boom:
</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Platform height vs. working height</strong> – Make sure the unit’s rated working height matches your
    jobsite needs. Don’t confuse platform height (where the operator stands) with total working height, which includes
    an average reach of 6 ft above that.</li>
  <li><strong>Electric vs. diesel</strong> – Electric models are better for indoor or low-noise zones, while
    diesel-powered units are built for rough terrain, longer runtimes, and outdoor use. Know which suits your
    environment before you buy.</li>
  <li><strong>Reach angles</strong> – Look beyond vertical specs. Knuckle booms shine in scenarios where you need to
    reach <em>over</em> machinery, rooftops, or barriers. Make sure the model you choose has the articulation range you
    need.</li>
  <li><strong>Size and storage</strong> – Some compact knuckle booms can collapse for easier storage or transport. If
    you're tight on space or hauling equipment between jobs, pay close attention to stowed dimensions and trailer
    compatibility.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Before you commit, evaluate how the machine fits your real-world workflows.</strong> Not every job requires
  the highest reach or biggest spec sheet — the right knuckle boom is the one that performs efficiently in the
  environments you actually work in.</p>

<h2 style="font-size:24px">Electric vs. diesel knuckle boom lifts</h2>
<p>The right power source depends on where and how you plan to use the lift. Electric knuckle booms are ideal for indoor
  or low-emission jobsites, while diesel units are built for outdoor terrain and longer runtimes. Here’s a quick look at
  how they compare.</p>

<ul>
  <li><strong>Electric models</strong> are ideal for indoor jobs or noise-sensitive environments. They’re compact,
    smooth to operate, and leave no emissions behind.</li>
  <li><strong>Diesel-powered models</strong> bring the power and clearance you need for tough outdoor sites. Expect
    higher reach, better traction, and the ability to work on uneven terrain.</li>
</ul>
<p>A lot of fleets carry both — and if you’re buying used, you’ll often get more lift for your dollar on the diesel
  side.</p>

<h2 style="font-size:24px">Top knuckle boom brands</h2>
<p>There’s no shortage of trusted manufacturers in this space, but a few brands consistently stand out:</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Genie</strong> – Known for durability and a wide range of options</li>
  <li><strong>JLG</strong> – Industry standard with great parts availability</li>
  <li><strong>Haulotte</strong> – Smooth hydraulics and intuitive controls</li>
  <li><strong>Skyjack</strong> – User-friendly and dependable in tight quarters</li>
</ul>
<p>If you’ve owned lifts before, you’ve probably worked with one of these brands — and if not, they’re a good place to
  start.</p>

<h2 style="font-size:24px">Knuckle booms vs. telescopic booms</h2>
<p>It’s a question our team hears often: What’s the difference between a knuckle boom and a <a href="/cp/telescopic-boom-lifts">telescopic boom</a>? It usually
  comes down to how you need to reach the work area. Both are designed to lift workers and tools to elevated spots, but
  they do it very differently. A telescopic boom (also called a straight boom) offers longer horizontal reach in open
  spaces, while a knuckle boom is built for navigating around obstacles.</p>

<p>Whether you're trying to reach across a roofline, thread into tight alley access, or work indoors, understanding the
  key differences will help you choose the right tool for the job.</p>

<p>When the job calls for flexibility at height, a <strong>knuckle boom lift</strong> is the go-to choice for pros who
  need to reach up, over, and around obstacles. Whether you're working in tight urban spaces, crowded job sites, or
  indoors with limited clearance, these machines are built to get you where a straight boom simply can’t.</p>

<p>We’ve got a wide range of <strong>knuckle boom lifts for sale</strong>, from compact electric models to high-reach
  diesel units that handle the rough stuff. If you're in the market for something versatile and maneuverable, you're in
  the right place.</p>
