Crane Truck Truck FAQ
What is the difference between a knuckle-boom and telescopic crane truck?
A knuckle-boom crane (also called a loader crane or articulating crane) has a jointed arm that folds compactly when not in use — ideal for delivery trucks and urban job sites. A telescopic boom crane extends in a straight line and offers more vertical reach, making it better for tall structures and longer horizontal reach applications.
Do I need a special license to operate a crane truck?
Beyond a CDL to drive the vehicle, crane operators may need NCCCO (National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators) certification for certain applications, especially on federal or commercial construction projects. Requirements vary by state, employer, and load weight. Check OSHA 1926.1427 for federally regulated sites.
