Table 2-5 Awr Ratio and Permissible Wind Speed V(z) - Metric
Example and Sample Calculations (metric)
The following example illustrates how to calculate allowable
load while operating in wind speed (3-second wind gust
speed) above 13.4 m/s (30 mph) and maximum permissible
wind speeds with various combinations of lifted load and
wind resistance area.
NOTE: Permissible and calculated wind speeds in this
example are the 3-second wind gust speeds at
boom tip height V(z).
Example 1: Crane Configuration:
boom length = 27.4 m,
load radius = 9 m,
wind speed is measured at V(z)20.1 m/s.
From the Rated Load Chart Example - Metric
(Figure 2-3), at maximum permissible wind speed, V(z) =
13.4 m/s, the rated lifting capacity m
(allow)
for this
configuration is 15,050 kg.
The maximum allowable wind resistance area of load is:
Awr
(allow)
= 0.0012 x m
(load)
(2.4)
Awr
(allow)
= 0.0012 x 15,050 = 18.06 m
2
For the allowable wind speed > 13.4 m/s and ≤ 20.1 m/s,
reduce the allowable load. Per Table 2-4, the Factor for main
boom length of 27.4 m is 0.8, the allowable load is:
m
(allow)
= 0.8 x 15,050 = 12,040 kg
This reduced capacity load has an allowable wind resistance
area of:
Awr
(allow)
= 0.0012 x 12,040 = 14.45 m

Note: Permissible and rated wind speeds in this table are the 3-second gust wind speeds at boom tip height.

Table 2-4 Example-Capacity Reduction Factors for Wind Speed V(z) Greater than 13.4 m/s - Metric
(Only for lifting with main boom on fully extended outriggers, with or without stowed extension)
For wind speed V(z) (3-second gust speed at boom tip height) V(z) > 13.4 m/s 20.1 m/s, the Reduced Capacity
shall be calculated by multiplying the Published Rated Capacity by the following factors:
Main Boom Length in Meters

Wind resistance area of load, Awr
(load)
shall not exceed maximum allowable wind resistance area Awr
(allow).

] Awr
(allow)
= 0.0012 x calculated reduced capacity in kg.
Wind resistance area of load, Awr
(load)
= projected wind area Ap x wind drag coefficient Cd for the load.
For wind resistance Area of load, Awr
(load)
> maximum allowable wind resistance area, Awr
(allow)
refer to crane
Operator Manual.
Lifting Limits at wind speed V(z) 13.4 m/s at this
configuration:
Maximum load 15,050 kg
Maximum wind resistance area of load 18.06 m

Lifting Limits at wind speed V(z) > 13.4 m/s and
20.1 m/s, at this configuration:
Maximum load 12,040 kg
Maximum wind resistance area of load 14.45 m
