Large, sensitive loads can make material handling a challenge
High-value loads, large equipment and tight manufacturing areas make material handling a challenge in wind turbine manufacturing.
Blades in excess of 80m are often moved using a combination of lifting equipment, including overhead cranes, gantry cranes and multiple large forklift trucks - resulting in the risk of costly damage and stress during movement. Likewise, components, including bearings, gearboxes and nacelles, must be carefully and efficiently moved through processes to meet production quotas.
The power and precision to move high-value loads
Electric tuggers enable wind turbine manufacturers to safely control heavy-wheeled loads and cut downtime through a license-free design. Compact and powerful, a single operator with a single electric tugger can precisely move heavy loads weighing up to 66,000 lbs. with complete control, reducing the risk of damage and maximizing safety.
For heavier loads, our innovative MultiLink technology combines the power of multiple electric tuggers, while still under the control of a single operator. This solution is being used in moving wind turbine blades in excess of 176,000 lbs. – all through remote control operation.
Reducing the risk of damage to sensitive loads
Safe, secure and controlled, electric tuggers ensure loads are moved with accuracy and stability – reducing the risk of damage to high-value loads.
