The present paper introduces a method based on dynamic simulation for determining the fatigue parameters in a hydraulically driven log crane. The parameters that describe the nature of fatigue loads can be applied in order to facilitate designer work in fatigue life prediction. The detailed simulation model was built up in the ADAMS mechanical analysis software environment in which the flexible mechanism model and the equations describing the hydraulic system were combined. The complete simulation model was verified by comparing measurements to numerical results. This comparison shows that there is a clear correspondence between the simulated and measured results. The model was employed in the study of the fatigue parameters, which are formed when the crane is being loaded.
