Wind Turbine Lifting Equipment, Wire Rope Hoists & Chain Hoists

Wind Turbine Lifting Equipment, Wire Rope Hoists & Chain Hoists

A selection of hoists specific for the wind power industry, or other non specific hoist which we have deemed suitable for use on wind turbine farms.

We at Liftingsafety have brought together a selection of hoists, some of which specifically designed as a Wind turbine hoists and others that have been designed for other industries though may meet the requirements for offshore use with-out the premium price tag.
We are working with wind turbine manufacturers, operators and maintenance contractors to develop the ultimate maintenance hoist that would offer all the qualities required.

The hoists/winches in this category are for maintenance of the turbine generators, as used only occasionally by maintenance crews for lifting tools and equipment on to the platform or into the upper pod. Wind turbine hoists should be robust enough to stand up to tough offshore weather conditions and still remain reliable, they need to have adequate IP electrical protection, have a fast lifting speed while remaining competitively priced.

Model: WTCH-2626 
Verlinde Tirlift Electric Wire Rope Lifting Hoist - 500kg

7.  Electric Wire Rope Lifting Winch Designed for wind turbines.

Model: WRLW-2633 
Wind Turbine Davit Arm - Range from 250kg to 1000kg, (others available on request)

8.  Davit Arm Swing Jib Crane.

Supplied with a Manual and Electric wire rope hoist.  The manual hoist acts as a back-up though is also commonly used to raise (and lower) the electric winch from the sea going vessel.

Hoist mounting: The Electric hoist is mounted on to a foot plate fabricated to the Davit socket; the winch wire is then deflected over a pulley wheel.
This is for ease of installation and to avoid unnecessary manual handling that would otherwise be required raising the winch.
Quick release mountings are combined into the design.

Model: WTDA-2662

Improved design features a multiple-planetary drive/backstop-clutch assembled on the centre shaft of a steel gear case with full-length internal teeth. This design handles more rugged jobs, extends service life and reduces maintenance. Lightweight yet powerful, these portable hoists move many heavyweight tasks and can get into remote or difficult-access sites.

Available either 454kg (1000lbs) or 1361kg (3000lbs).

Model: C30 xx 

More about Wind Generator Hoists

Wind turbine hoists are designed to meet the specialist requirements of this industry, with capacities and line speeds to suit your specific needs.

  • Both onshore and offshore electricity wind turbine generators require large drum capacities for high lifts and a fast lift speed.
  • Because they are mostly used for maintenance of the turbine they must be quality manufactured for reliability. We offer our own unique design and distribute for Yale, Verlinde, Pfaff etc...
  • They are more commonly mounted on the generator head though can also be mounted at ground level and the rope deflected over a pulley wheel.
  • Power supply voltage to customers requirements and; they can be fitted on to a crane system, davit arm, jib crane, fixed mounted or deflected over a pulley wheel.
  • Wind turbine hoists are unique in the lifting industry, we have the knowledge and specialist expertise to offer a bespoke hoisting solution to every wind turbine lifting project.
