Table 2-1 Beaufort Wind Scale
Wind Speeds
The maximum permissible wind speed referred to in the load
charts is the 3-second wind gust speed measured at the
boom tip height and is designated as
V(z)
. This value is
either recorded at boom tip or calculated based on mean
wind speed recorded at crane operation site. For lift planning
purposes only, the 3-second wind gust speed,
V(z)
, may be
calculated based on mean wind speed reported at http://
www.windfinder.com “Super Forecast”.
This 3-second wind gust is assumed to act on the entire
crane and the load. The wind effect on the load can be
conservatively estimated as:
a) If
V(z)
is ≤ 13.4 m/s (30 mph), then the
allowable
load is the published rated capacity from the Load Chart.
b) If
V(z)
is > 13.4 m/s (30 mph) and is ≤ 20.1 m/s
(45 mph), the
allowable
load is the published rated
capacity multiplied by the Capacity Reduction Factor
from Table 2-4 (metric) or (non-metric).
NOTE:
This condition is limited to operation with the main
boom on fully extended outriggers only.
c) If
V(z)
is > 20.1 m/s (45 mph), then lifting is NOT
permitted. Cease lifting operations and lower and retract
the boom.
In both cases
a
) and
b
) above, the lift may also be limited by
the projected wind area of the load
Ap
and by the wind drag
coefficient
Cd
: This limit can be determined by comparing
the
Actual
wind resistance area with the
Allowable
wind
resistance area.
Refer to Figure 2-1 for a simplified calculation method to
determine permissible wind speed.
