Is there a certain direction and reason a construction worker will leave a crane facing a certain direction.
They would generally try to point the boom (the longer part of the crane) away from the prevailing winds. This reduces stress on the tower - but it's not really a big deal.
not really they pretty much wanna just get home 2 their families
I don't think there is a particular direction unless prevailing winds are a factor. Here in Las Vegas, cranes, when idle don't seem to have a pattern. At least from what I have seen.
Like 2 others said... if the predicted winds are to be higher than, say, 25 mph, they would point the crane into the predicted direction of the wind. If there are no high winds predicted, then it doesn't matter, BUT, they would probably point it in a direction that would do the least amount of damage should the crane support fail, for whatever reason. OR, they might leave it in position over the loading area, so they can begin picking up immediately the next day. .
