Run Crane Lift Go/No-Go Decisions Against Real Wind Data

Crane lifts have hard wind limits that vary by load and boom configuration, and a bad call is catastrophic. Check the lift-window forecast against the plan's wind limit for a documented go/no-go.

difficulty Intermediatesetup 30 minresult Every lift gets a documented weather go/no-go against its actual wind limit — safety decisions made on data, not gut.
  1. 1

    Load the Lift Plan

    Record each lift's wind limit for its load and configuration.

  2. 2

    Check the Window

    Add a weather node pulling wind speeds and gusts for the lift window.

  3. 3

    Compute Go/No-Go

    Add a Code node comparing forecast gusts to the plan's limit.

  4. 4

    Document the Decision

    Add a Slack node delivering the timestamped call with the data behind it.

  5. 5

    Activate and Test

    Activate the workflow with a windy test window. Confirm the no-go fires.

Frequently asked questions

Why document the decision?

A go/no-go tied to forecast data is both a safety discipline and a record if anything is ever questioned.

Gust versus sustained?

Gusts, not averages, exceed limits — the check watches the number that actually matters.
