The truck and crane combination gives you the ability to transport material to the jobsite and then use the truck's own crane to unload and position it.
That combination can dramatically increase productivity compared with a conventional flatbed that requires separate unloading equipment.
NATIONAL N65A/32 HYDRAULIC KNUCKLE BOOM
The National N65A/32 is a substantial hydraulic articulating crane designed for truck-mounted material handling.
The crane's knuckle-boom design provides excellent maneuverability and positioning capability. Instead of simply lifting straight up and down, the articulated boom can be folded and positioned to place materials around obstacles and closer to the desired location.
The approximately 32-foot horizontal reach provides plenty of working range for loading and unloading materials from the flatbed or positioning them around a jobsite.
The crane is equipped with hydraulic outriggers to provide stability during lifting operations.
The approximately 10,600-lb maximum capacity gives this truck substantial lifting capability, but actual capacity varies based on boom configuration, working radius, load position, and other factors. Operators should always follow the applicable National load chart and all required safety procedures.
18-FOOT FLATBED
The approximately 18-foot flatbed gives you plenty of room to transport the materials, equipment, and supplies needed for the job.
The combination of the flatbed and knuckle-boom crane is what makes this truck especially useful.
Load it. Haul it. Lift it. Unload it. Position it.
One truck can perform all of those functions.
Depending on your operation, the flatbed can be used for:
Lumber
