Deck Machinery Review (continued) proven very successful on a number of documented cargo- and material- handling applications. These cranes are currently in worldwide use on many types of tugs, supply vessels, icebreakers, dredges, barges, re- search vessels, buoy- and light-tend- ing boats, firefighting vessels, diving support craft, and oil pollution re- covery boats.

The knuckleboom crane is said to offer a wide range of desirable fea- tures for shipboard use including precise load handling, extra capac- ity and reduced reach, total over- load protection, minimal storage and mounting space, and an abun- dant work area coverage.

Because of the flexible elbow or "knuckle," the HIAB 110 crane has a low operating height. This feature prevents the crane from interfering or entangling with the vessel's rig- ging or other overhead obstructions.

The simple but effective design, the sophisticated use of corrosion-resis- tant materials in its construction, and the high-pressure hydraulic sys- tem makes the 110 crane lighter in weight than conventional cargo- handling units; this weight differ- ence also permits a bigger cargo payload.

Designed specifically for use in the saltwater environment, the

HIAB 110 is constructed with gal- vanized components, waterproof fit- tings, nickel/chrome-plated boom cylinders, and is protected further with special marine coatings for maximum corrosion resistance.

Compact in design and extremely maneuverable, the 110 can be oper- ated by one man.
