Knuckleboom loaders are specialized machines used primarily in the logging industry to lift and load logs onto trucks or other transport vehicles. They feature a boom with a jointed arm, offering increased flexibility and precision in handling heavy materials. These loaders are essential for efficient and safe log handling operations.
Check the condition of the boom and hydraulic system, as well as the engine hours and overall wear. Ensure the loader has been regularly maintained and ask for maintenance records.
Use a transport service experienced in moving heavy machinery. Secure the loader properly and protect any hydraulic components to prevent damage during transit.
Regular maintenance includes checking hydraulic fluid levels, inspecting hoses and cylinders for leaks, and lubricating moving parts. Refer to the manufacturer’s manual for specific maintenance intervals and procedures.
