Why does the crane roll over?
Recently, crane rollover accidents have occurred in many places across the country, causing widespread concern. As heavy construction machinery, cranes will not only cause equipment damage but may also endanger personnel safety if they roll over. This article will combine the hot topics on the Internet in the past 10 days, analyze the causes of crane rollover, and provide structured data for reference.
1. The main reasons for crane rollover

According to recent news reports and industry analysis, the main causes of crane rollover include the following aspects:
| Reason Category | Specific performance | Typical cases |
|---|---|---|
| Operation error | Overloading, illegal operations, and failure to follow procedures | A crane arm broke due to overloading at a construction site |
| Equipment failure | The hydraulic system failed and the outriggers were not fully extended. | A crane overturned due to outrigger failure |
| ground conditions | The foundation is soft, uneven, and insufficiently load-bearing | An accident occurred at a construction site due to ground collapse |
| environmental factors | Strong winds, heavy rain, low visibility | A crane overturned during a typhoon |
2. Analysis of recent hot cases
The following are crane rollover accident cases that have attracted the attention of the entire Internet in the past 10 days:
| time | location | Cause of accident | Consequences |
|---|---|---|---|
| October 5, 2023 | Nanjing, Jiangsu | Overload operation | 1 person injured, equipment damaged |
| October 8, 2023 | Shenzhen, Guangdong | ground collapse | No casualties, work stopped for rectification |
| October 10, 2023 | Chengdu, Sichuan | strong wind weather | The crane hits a nearby building |
3. How to prevent crane rollover
For the above reasons, various measures are needed to prevent crane rollover:
1.Strict operating regulations: Operators must hold certificates to work, and overloading or illegal operations are strictly prohibited.
2.Regular equipment inspections: Ensure the normal operation of key components such as the hydraulic system and outriggers.
3.ground survey: Before operation, the load-bearing capacity of the ground needs to be evaluated, and the foundation should be reinforced if necessary.
4.Environmental monitoring: Operations should be suspended in bad weather to avoid accidents caused by wind or insufficient visibility.
4. Suggestions from industry experts
Many construction machinery experts made the following suggestions in recent interviews:
| Expert name | Suggested content |
|---|---|
| Zhang Moumou (senior engineer) | Promote intelligent cranes to monitor load and stability in real time |
| Li Moumou (security consultant) | Strengthen operator training and conduct regular assessments |
| Wang Moumou (Industry Association) | Establish an accident database and analyze common causes |
5. Summary
The causes of crane rollover accidents are complex and varied, but the risk can be significantly reduced through standardized operations, equipment maintenance and environmental assessment. Recent accidents remind us once again that safety is no small matter and must start with details. The development of industry and technology will also provide more guarantees for the safety of crane operations.
