As construction progresses at an increasingly rapid pace, cranes often have to operate under various challenging conditions and face other difficulties such as weather issues. Next, we will take a look at the wind-protection details that crane operators should pay attention to. First of all, both operators and supervisors need to enhance their awareness of strong winds; they should remain vigilant in the face of unexpected situations, and also strengthen their sense of responsibility on a regular basis. When shutting down, it is necessary to enter the anchorage, secure the rail clamps, and place iron shoes or wooden blocks in place. When machinery cannot enter the anchorage area, rail clamps must be used, and wooden planks should be placed there – no fewer than four planks – to take wind protection measures. When working in place for more than half an hour, it is necessary to check whether the rail clamps are tightened, and wooden planks should be placed as padding. During the operation, it is possible for two cranes to work together; in such cases, the operators should communicate with each other, stay vigilant, and ensure that they can stay in contact. It is even more important to check the weather conditions before starting a task and take preventive measures in advance. When the crane stops operating, it is essential to ensure that there are no objects hanging from the hook, and that both the main and auxiliary hooks are raised as close as possible to their upper limits. Then check whether the traveling trolley equipment is in good condition; any faults should be repaired promptly. The brakes of the trolley must be consistent, and the braking system must function properly.
