Tower crane weather alert
We have been asked to warn tower crane owners on the East coast of the United States, of the need to ensure that their cranes are at the very least left to 'weathervane' in to follow the wind rather than fight it.
This in preparation for the bad storms with very high winds that are expected to hit a number of East coast states on Monday and Tuesday this week.
If you need more information on weather vaning and other storm preparation procedures, you should contact your supplier or the manufacturer who will be more than pleased to help. Details can also be found on
