Heila’s knuckle telescopic boom cranes are engineered for demanding marine and offshore operations, combining compact design with exceptional lifting performance. Their knuckled, extendable booms offer high maneuverability and outstanding lifting capacity, especially at short outreach, making them ideal for applications such as buoy handling, equipment hoisting, and general onboard or offshore operations. a

The range spans from small to heavy‑duty models up to 1500 ton‑meter capacity, ensuring a perfect fit for everything from workboats to specialized offshore vessels.

Offers capacities from 3 tm to over 120 tm, with a knuckled, fully foldable and extendable boom that provides a wide working area while remaining compact when stowed. The HLM series uses a rack‑and‑pinion slewing system with boom‑folding and 360°+ rotation, while the HLRM series features a slew bearing for continuous rotation. Known as the “workhorse of the sea,” the cranes excel in cargo handling, onboard services, RIB operations and hose handling. They can be fully customized with options such as MOPS/AOPS overload protection, constant tensioning, load‑ and heel‑limiting, platforms or pedestals, certified lifting arrangements, remote control with sea‑state selector, operator cabin, hydraulic power units, personnel‑lifting capability and ATEX adaptations.

Heila’s knuckle boom cranes deliver robust, reliable performance for offshore and marine applications, combining powerful lifting capacity with compact stowage and superior maneuverability. Designed for harsh marine environments, these cranes can be equipped with Active Heave Compensation (AHC) to maintain precise load handling under vessel motion. 
Heila designs and certifies its cranes according to leading international standards, including DNV, Lloyd’s Register (LR) and Bureau Veritas (BV), ensuring full compliance with demanding offshore requirements. Heila provides a standardized yet highly customizable range of knuckle boom and telescopic knuckle boom crane models, with capacities spanning from 80 tm to over 1,000 tm.
