Wind velocity transmitter for Liebherr LR 1800

The wind velocity transmitter, part number 11066001, serves as a sensor within the safety and control systems of large-scale cranes. Its primary function is to measure wind speed in the crane's operating environment. This data is transmitted to the crane management system, allowing operators and safety protocols to assess meteorological conditions and determine if it is safe to continue lifting operations, particularly when handling heavy loads or utilizing extended booms.

This component is designed for the Liebherr LR 1800 lattice boom crawler crane. In machines of this capacity, wind influence is a critical safety factor, and this transmitter is used to monitor conditions that could affect stability. By providing accurate wind speed data, it assists in maintaining adherence to operational safety standards during heavy-duty lifting tasks.

Wind velocity transmitters for cranes typically function by generating an electrical signal proportional to the wind speed, which is then processed by the crane's onboard computer. These sensors are generally mounted at the top of the boom to provide a representative reading of the wind conditions at the height of the load. Consistent monitoring and periodic calibration are necessary to ensure the accuracy of the data provided to the crane's control systems.
