Charter Trucks carries one of the most consistently stocked knuckle boom crane truck inventories on the West Coast. Our units come from multiple manufacturers and configurations — four-axle and three-axle platforms across a range of years and price points. Every truck goes through a third-party inspection and Charter certification process before it goes on the lot.

If your operation puts a knuckle boom to work every day, you know what a bad buy costs. Charter is built around making sure that doesn’t happen.

Who Buys Knuckle Boom Crane Trucks from Charter

Knuckle boom buyers come from a specific set of industries — and Charter serves all of them:

Utilities and electrical contractors who need a boom truck that can reach, position, and hold while crews work. Reliability and documented maintenance history aren’t optional at height.

Telecom and cable operators running installs, repairs, and infrastructure builds across rural and suburban service areas. These trucks work hard and need to be ready every morning.

Tree service and vegetation management companies that need a knuckle boom with the reach and articulation to work in tight residential and commercial spaces.

Rigging, millwright, and heavy lift contractors who use articulating booms for precision placement where a straight-mast crane can’t operate.

Municipal and government fleets that need documented, certified equipment with a clear maintenance trail for procurement compliance.

Why Knuckle Boom Condition Matters More Than Price

A knuckle boom crane truck is three systems in one — chassis, hydraulics, and boom — and problems with any of them can sideline your operation or create serious liability exposure. Buying on price alone without verified inspection history is a real risk at this price point.

Charter’s process starts with a third-party inspector — not our team, not the seller, an outside party with no stake in the sale. Every unit goes through that inspection before it reaches our lot. You get the full report. You see what was found, what was addressed, and what the truck’s systems look like before you make a decision.

That’s a standard we hold across every unit we sell, but it matters most on high-dollar specialty equipment like a knuckle boom.

Makes and Platforms We Carry

Charter’s knuckle boom inventory regularly includes units from:

Freightliner 114SD

The most common severe-duty platform in this category. Built for frame loads, proven in commercial crane applications, and well-supported by the dealer network across the country.
Volvo VHD

A step up in cab comfort and drivetrain refinement. Popular with owner-operators and fleet managers who run long days and value the VHD’s ride quality and fuel efficiency alongside its crane capability.
Peterbilt 567

Peterbilt’s vocational flagship. When you want the best cab, the strongest frame, and the most recognizable name in the lot, the 567 is the unit.
Kenworth T880

A heavy-spec platform built for demanding vocational applications. Widely used in utility and contractor fleets for its durability and dealer support.
