A knuckle boom ship crane refers to a type of marine crane with an "articulated boom" design. It is installed on platforms or ship decks, and its core feature is that the lifting boom can be folded. This type of marine crane is mainly used in scenarios such as ship cargo loading and unloading, offshore platform operations, etc. Due to its "foldable boom" structure, it occupies little space when folded, making it suitable for the limited deck area of ships.
