What should be done if the wind velocity exceeds the manufacturer's limit?

When wind velocity exceeds the manufacturer's limit for crane operations, it is critical to immediately halt operations to ensure safety. Tower cranes are designed to handle specific wind loads, and exceeding these limits can compromise the stability of the crane. If operations were to continue under such conditions, it could lead to tipping, losing control of the load, or structural failure, posing significant risks to workers in the vicinity and potentially causing damage to property.

Halting operations allows for a thorough assessment of the situation to ensure that conditions are safe for both the crew and the equipment. Taking such precautions is in line with standard safety protocols and best practices in crane operation to prevent accidents and ensure a safe working environment.
