AKC Cranes - Knuckle & Telescopic Boom

Model AKC series (e.g. AKC290 LHE3)

Heavy-duty knuckle and telescopic boom marine cranes for low deck space occupation, stowing with the second boom oriented downwards.

Description

The AKC range is HS.MARINE's heavy-duty knuckle and telescopic boom crane line, designed for low deck space occupation and compact recovering.
