*Typical class figures — exact model confirmed on your quote. The knuckle's party trick is articulation: reach up, then over the top of whatever's in the way. Electric narrow knuckles work indoors on slabs; diesel 4WD units own the site. Straight vertical work on a floor is cheaper on a scissor lift; towable reach is a cherry picker.
Over 11 m of boom — which is most knuckles — yes: the WP high-risk work licence. Under 11 m, trained-and-competent plus the EWPA Yellow Card most sites expect. Check the operator's ticket before booking the big one.
Yes — knuckle booms are boom-type platforms, so it's harness on, clipped to the basket anchor, every time. Need harnesses and lanyards with the machine? Ask and we'll arrange them.
If you're going straight up off a flat floor, a scissor is cheaper and gives a bigger deck. The knuckle earns its rate when something's in the way — reaching over a conveyor, into a tree line, across a roof edge, or threading between services.
Electric narrow knuckles are built for finished floors — quiet, no fumes, non-marking tyres, and they fit through standard double doors. Diesel 4WD units are for outside: rough ground, kerbs and weather.
They drive and slew within their own footprint, but check the counterweight tail-swing and the ground: firm and reasonably level. Send a site photo with the enquiry and we'll confirm the machine fits the space before you commit.
