How does the tool account for wind speed?

The `evaluate_environmental_impact` tool reduces the allowable lifting capacity based on wind speed, as higher speeds increase lateral forces and reduce stability.

Can I calculate the counterweight needed for a specific load?

Yes, you can use `calculate_required_counterweight` to determine the exact mass needed to maintain stability for a given radius and load weight.

What factors affect the safety margin?

The safety margin is determined by the difference between the maximum capacity (from `analyze_lift_capacity`) and the total weight, which includes both the load and the rigging weight.

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for crane operations. It allows AI agents to determine if a specific load can be safely lifted using analyze_lift_capacity, calculate the necessary mass for stability with calculate_required_counterweight, and adjust capacity based on environmental factors like wind and ground stability using evaluate_environmental_impact. Finally, verify_stability_compliance ensures the entire lift plan meets safety standards.
