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
Load the Lift Plan
Record each lift's wind limit for its load and configuration.
- 2
Check the Window
Add a weather node pulling wind speeds and gusts for the lift window.
- 3
Compute Go/No-Go
Add a
Codenode comparing forecast gusts to the plan's limit. - 4
Document the Decision
Add a
Slacknode delivering the timestamped call with the data behind it. - 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.
