Powering Progress with Smarter Wind Data

Across the nation, Big B Crane provides critical heavy-lift support for maintenance and repair operations on some of the largest wind turbines in the U.S. These complex lifts often take place hundreds of feet in the air, where precise wind data is vital for both safety and efficiency.

In the past, crews relied on factory anemometers and manual photo logs to document wind readings. That approach made it difficult to verify conditions or share data between teams.
By adopting Windcrane’s Solar Satellite real-time monitoring platform, Big B Crane now has centralized access to accurate, time-stamped wind information across its entire fleet - instantly available online whenever it’s needed.
The result is faster verification for claims, stronger communication between departments, and greater operational confidence.

Many of the company’s projects are located in remote regions where cell coverage is unreliable.
To overcome this, Big B Crane integrated Windcrane’s Solar Satellite system, ensuring continuous connectivity and dependable wind-data recording regardless of location. Now, every lift is backed by reliable information - supporting both safety and efficiency on every site.

"Windcrane has been one of the simplest systems we’ve ever implemented - straightforward to install, easy to set up, and reliable from day one. It’s made my life easier by giving us real-time visibility into wind conditions without the guesswork. More importantly, it’s made our job sites safer, our operations more efficient, and their customer service
is second to none."
