In industries like urban maintenance, small-scale construction, nursery operations, and warehouse logistics, large cranes often feel overkill—what’s needed is a small-scale lifting device that blends compactness, flexibility, and reliability. The SUNHUNK K168 Knuckle Boom Crane fits this role perfectly: with an 8000kg rated load, 16t.m rated lifting capacity, and 12.4m max working range, it’s engineered for lightweight, small-batch lifting tasks. Equipped with five game-changing features, it solves the unique pain points of small-scale operations. Let’s explore why it’s the top choice for professionals seeking a “right-sized” solution.

1. New-Generation Lightweight Platform: High Starting Point for Agility

The SUNHUNK K168 stands out with a new-generation lightweight platform designed for high performance. Weighing just 2500kg (crane self-weight), it leverages advanced materials to balance portability and structural stability—easy to transport via standard pickup trucks and maneuver in tight spaces (like narrow urban alleys or crowded nurseries). This agility makes it ideal for quick setup at remote maintenance sites or indoor tasks (thanks to its compact size). As a leading lightweight compact lifting equipment, it eliminates the hassle of bulky machinery while delivering reliable lifting power.

2. Multiple Optional Configurations: Tailored to Small-Scale Needs

No two small-scale tasks are the same—and the K168 adapts with multiple optional configurations. Whether you need a soft-grip attachment for fragile nursery pots, a boom extension for 14m maximum lifting height, or a wireless remote for solo operation, it can be customized to your needs. This flexibility avoids “one-size-fits-all” compromises, making it perfect for seedling transplantation, warehouse pallet lifting, or office equipment relocation. For teams prioritizing versatility, the K168 turns a single device into a multi-purpose asset.

3. Hexagon Single-Plate Bending Boom: Sturdy Durability

Even small-scale lifting demands a durable boom—and the K168 delivers with hexagon single-plate bending technology. Unlike welded booms prone to wear, its seamless hexagonal design distributes weight evenly, resisting bending and corrosion. This sturdiness supports its 8000kg rated load and ensures long-term reliability, even with daily use (e.g., repeated warehouse lifts or nursery tasks). As a trusted hexagon single-plate bending boom lifter, it reduces maintenance needs and extends equipment life.

4. Variable Cross-Section Turntable: Compact & Lightweight

Space is critical for small-scale job sites—and the K168’s variable cross-section turntable (crafted from high-strength steel) solves this. Its compact structure fits through standard doorways (ideal for indoor maintenance) and enables 360° swing for flexible load positioning. The sleek design adds a professional touch, while the lightweight build keeps the device agile. For teams tired of awkward small lifters, this turntable makes the K168 a standout variable cross-section turntable lifting device.

5. Dual Four-Link Mechanism: 15° Negative Angle for Versatility

Tricky spots (below-ground utility boxes, sloped nurseries) demand flexibility—and the K168 delivers with its dual four-link variable amplitude mechanism, featuring a 15° negative angle for the second change. This extends its operational range, letting you lower loads into deep holes or lift from low surfaces without repositioning. Paired with an 88° maximum elevation angle, it ensures precise, controlled movement—critical for delicate loads. As a top-tier 15° negative angle small lifter, it turns complex tasks into seamless operations.

Why Choose SUNHUNK K168: The Small-scale Lifting Expert

The SUNHUNK K168 isn’t just a mini crane—it’s a specialized small-scale lifting device that combines the advantages of lightweight compact lifting equipment, hexagon single-plate bending boom lifter, and 15° negative angle small lifter. For small construction crews, nurseries, or warehouse teams, it delivers the right power in a space-friendly size.
