Using the finite element method. the paper analyzes the bending stability of the crawler crane boom, and verifies the impact of the length factor μ3 . The impact on the boom pull board is the main embodiment of impact on the crawler crane imposed by the length coefficient μ3 , therefore, the paper adopts two methods of with and without hoom pull board to build finite element models for the buckling analysis, calculates the bending stability of the boom with the experience formula of the crane specification and illustrates the impact of the length factor μ3 by comparing the results of the 2 methods.
