Notus Wind Speed Calculator
Often, wind and gusts of wind are underestimated factors in accidents involving mobile and/or crawler cranes. When lifting loads exposed to the wind, the standard design values provided by crane manufacturers can be exceeded if the load is not taken into consideration. The design calculation calculates the allowable operating Wind speed , considering the load and its Sail Effect, using a formula developed under the guidance of EN13000. This European Standard helps mobile cranes adhere to the essential health and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive.
