Only with cranes which can only be safely operated up to a defined wind speed
The crane may only be operated up to a certain wind speed. The crane is equipped with a wind measuring system. The wind measuring system warns if a certain wind speed has been exceeded. The crane must then travel to its resting position (at the end of the crane track) within a specified time.
Yellow and/or red signal lamps flash and a horn (optional) sounds:
● The wind speed was exceeded or the threshold for the warning was reached.
Set down the load.
Set down or remove the load
lifting attachments.
Run the load hook upward to the
highest hook position.
Move the wire rope hoist to the
left or right to the end of the main girder.
Move the crane to the defined
resting position.
A wind anchor is located at this resting position for securing the crane. Alternatively, the wind anchor can be of a design that secures the crane at any desired position.
If necessary, secure the
crane.
