Generator blade transport rack

What is a wind turbine blade rack?

This service is mainly offered to the wind energy sector, where safe and efficient transportation of wind turbine blades is crucial. Blade racks are designed to handle the challenges of transportation, ensuring blades arrive safely.

What is a blade rack?

Blade racks are designed to handle the challenges of transportation, ensuring blades arrive safely. Our focus on innovation, quality, and safety drives us to meet the specific challenges of transporting large, fragile wind turbine blades, helping to ensure the success of wind energy projects.

Can a wind farm blade rack be modular?

To avoid having to design a different blade rack for each wind farm project, the system had to be modular. Vuyk Engineering Rotterdam has been contracted for the design of the modular blade rack. The solution was found in upscaling the existing B81 blade rack (designed by Vuyk) and reusing most of the existing designs and available equipment.

How do Wind Turbine Generators (WTG's) work?

Each module carries three blades above each other. In a blade rack suitable for multiple WTG’s the modules are coupled. Cadeler, a frontrunning Danish offshore wind contractor, is selected to transport and install the Wind Turbine Generators (WTG’s) for the Hollandse Kust Zuid Offshore Windfarm.

Why are wind turbine blades so difficult to transport?

Historically, transporting wind turbine blades has not been easy due to the increasing size and weight of the blades and the fact that wind farms are often located in remote and inaccessible areas.

How will SGRE WTGS be transported?

The SGRE WTG’s are of the SG 11 .0-200DD type, which will be transported using the new modular blade rack design. The mobilization and loading location will be the Maasvlakte, port of Rotterdam with the Cadeler vessel Wind Osprey.
