Wind Direction for Crane & Elevated Work Operations
Crane operators and riggers need current, local wind conditions to make safe lift decisions. Australian work health and safety regulations require wind speed monitoring for crane operations above certain thresholds - but a Windsock gives the immediate directional reading that anemometers don't provide.
- ✓ Provides real-time wind direction for crane operators and riggers
- ✓ High-visibility placement ensures the Windsock reading is seen from the cab
- ✓ Multiple assemblies for large sites where wind varies across zones
- ✓ Helps satisfy WHS documentation requirements for elevated work
- ✓ Counter-weighted Poles allow repositioning as the site develops
- ✓ Mobile assemblies can follow the crane around larger sites
CONSTRUCTION INFRASTRUCTURE APPLICATIONS
Construction Industry Applications
From high-rise residential to major civil infrastructure and industrial construction - Windsock assemblies are a practical and cost-effective safety tool for every project type.
High-Rise & Commercial Construction
Tower crane operations at upper floors experience very different wind conditions to ground level. Our elevated fixed assemblies give accurate local readings for the working zone.
Get a Quote ›Civil & Infrastructure Projects
Bridge, road, rail and utilities construction - often in open areas where wind is a constant safety consideration for elevated work, concrete placement and crane operations.
View Products ›Industrial Construction & Shutdowns
Process plant construction and maintenance shutdowns involve heavy lifting and chemical exposure. Mobile assemblies allow rapid deployment and repositioning throughout the project.
Contact Our Team ›Mobile Windsock Assemblies for Construction Sites
Construction sites are dynamic environments where work areas change constantly. Our Mobile Windsock Assembly uses a heavy self-weighted base that can be deployed anywhere on site in minutes - and repositioned as the work area moves. No installation required, no contractor needed.
- ✓ Heavy self-weighted base - stable in typical construction site wind conditions
- ✓ Deploys in minutes - no tools, no drilling, no installation
- ✓ Repositions easily as work zones change throughout the project
- ✓ High-visibility Windsock for dusty and busy construction environments
- ✓ Available with high-visibility neon orange Windsock for maximum visibility
Permanent Assemblies for Long-Term Infrastructure
For permanent infrastructure facilities - water treatment plants, power stations, substations and major industrial facilities - a permanently installed counter-weighted pole assembly provides reliable, long-term wind direction indication with minimal ongoing maintenance.
- ✓ Galvanised steel pole on concrete footings or precast concrete block
- ✓ 304 SS Windsock frame with sealed bearings - years of maintenance-free operation
- ✓ Counter-weighted design - lower to ground level for Windsock replacement
- ✓ Large format (3000-3650mm) Windsock for maximum visibility
- ✓ Post-construction handover package available for facility operators
