WR-3 Plus Wireless Anemometer Installation on Tower Cranes

Heathrow Cranes, a leading UK-based construction company specialized in tower crane hire rental service installed the WR-3 Plus wireless wind speed meter (formerly known as WR-3) on their cranes. The safety regulations in the UK require an anemometer to be used on cranes or on the construction sites. In order to follow the law and to ensure worksite safety, Heathrow Cranes searched online and found Scarlet Tech, which provides high quality wind speed meters that meet their needs.

Wireless: The Best Solution

“The operators of tower cranes can read the wind speed and operate the crane in the segment of wind speed in the capsule of tower crane. Most cranes come with anemometers inside, but I need to read the data from the ground level so the wireless function really helps a lot.” says Albert Peter Dravins, Operations Manager at Heathrow Cranes.

While his cranes may be sited at other sides of the worksite, Peter can instantly monitor what is happening from his own office, and the sound alarm allows for enhanced decision-making.

The fewer wires there are, the safer it will be at the site. The ultra-long 500 meter transmission distance makes WR-3 Plus a perfect gadget to help monitor wind speed on cranes and prevent high wind risks.

Excellent Services

Quality and price are the main criteria they use when making a decision to buy a product. After comparing, they decided to choose Scarlet Tech over other companies.

“WR3 can read the wind speed correctly and it’s easy to move around at the construction site. Also, you delivered fast and products got no problems so far. I am likely to recommend your products to other people.” says Peter.
