The wind’s affect on the rear of the load
increases load radius. This condition can result
in an overload hazard, possibly causing the
crane to tip or the boom to collapse.
To avoid this hazard, reduce operating speeds
and load (see Wind Conditions Chart at end of
this section or see wind conditions in Capacity
Charts if applicable).
Boom strength is affected the most when
the wind acts on the side of the boom.
Backward stability is affected by wind
on the front of the boom. This
condition is especially dangerous
when the boom is at or near the
maximum angle when operating
without load.
Wind forces on the front of the boom
reduce the normal forward tipping
effect of the boom. The crane can tip
or the boom can collapse if this
condition is not avoided.
Forward stability is affected by wind on
the rear of the boom. Wind applies a
force to the boom and load that adds to
the crane’s overturning moment. This
action has the same effect as adding
load to the hook.
The wind’s affect on the side of the
load can cause the load to swing out
past the boom hinge pin. This condition
can result in excessive side load forces
on the boom, possibly causing the
crane to tip or the boom to collapse.
To avoid this hazard, reduce operating
speeds and load (see Wind Conditions
Chart at end of this section or see wind
conditions in Capacity Charts if
applicable).

The boom can buckle and collapse
if the load contacts the boom.
