Posted by Lone_Ranger Well, I checked last evening the site and apparantly the site is active as the crane is in the opposite position from when I explored it. It was a heavy construction yard so I assume that this was a trans-load/storage facility for the company, hence the crane. I can't really give you any more info. as that is the total extent of my knowledge of the place.

The crane may simply acting like a weathervane in the wind. If there is nothing locking the crane in position (which seems very unwise in case of high winds), the boom of the crane will tend to point away from the wind since it has a larger area than the side containing the counterweights.
