B D Finch Jan 26, 2015:
Ambiguity re "pipe" I think that the snippet of text you have provided could be understood as meaning EITHER that the knuckle-boom crane is used for handling pipes, OR that the boom is itself in the form of a pipe.

See same ref. and Goursau for definition of "knuckle joint" as "joint à rotule".

You can see a photo of a knuckle-boom crane here:
http://www.huismanequipment.com/en/products/cranes/knucklebo...
"The main boom is hinged at the middle creating a knuckle boom. Both parts are controlled with hydraulic cylinders. This way, movements of the load can be limited as the boom tip can be kept at a limited height above deck. This feature makes the crane safe and efficient. "
