Cargo
Transporting wind turbine components
Wind turbine components are among the most demanding out-of-gauge transports: rotor blades are very long, tower sections very wide, nacelles very heavy. The last leg often runs over field and forest roads to the site.
What matters
- Rotor blades
- Extreme length – special vehicles and bend checks are mandatory.
- Tower sections
- Large diameters – width and height limit the route.
- Nacelles and hubs
- Heavy and compact – weight and axle loads count.
- Site access
- Access roads to the site must allow weight, length and bends.
Planning questions
We clarify these points before quoting – the earlier they are known, the more precise the plan.
- Which components, with what dimensions and weights?
- How many turbines and pieces?
- What is the access road to the site like?
- Is there an erection schedule?
- From where – factory, port, storage?
What we need from you
- Parts list with dimensions and weights
- Site and access
- Erection schedule
- Collection point
Preparation: You hand over the cargo ready for loading with known lifting points – dismantling, assembly and foundation work are handled by your team or your installation partner.
What we do for you
What we organise
- Feasibility check per project with questions on missing values
- Coordination of permits, escort vehicles, route surveys and lifting equipment via partners
- Quote with the agreed scope once the transport can be planned
Good to know
A finished, load-bearing access road is the basis for every delivery – we plan towards the manufacturer's erection date.
How it works
- 01
Request
You state the cargo, dimensions and weight per piece with units, rough route and time window – marking anything unknown.
- 02
Review
We check components, route and access and clarify vehicles, permits and escorts with partners.
- 03
Quote
After the feasibility check you receive a quote with the agreed scope, including partner services.
- 04
Execution
Transports after permit, in step with erection.
Questions and answers: Wind turbine components
Why are rotor blade transports so demanding?
Because of the extreme length: special vehicles, bend checks, escorts and often interventions on the route are needed.
Who is responsible for access to the wind farm?
The project. We state the requirements for width, bends and load capacity.
Can components be delivered in step with erection?
Yes, if permits are in place and the erection plan is coordinated.
