Self-hoisting crane
e Liftra Self-Hoisting Crane eliminates the need for large mobile cranes when changing major components. e crane climbs from its 40ft container to the nacelle, suspended and guided by its own wires. Atop the turbine, the crane turns 180° and is installed on its base inside the nacelle, ready for operation. e crane’s standard 40ft container requires no
civil works or other preparation of the site. No bridges or roads need to be reinforced, and no special permits need to be obtained. Other typical limitations of large cranes include wind window and turbine height. e Self-Hoisting Crane operates safely in winds up to
18 m/s and on turbines up to 170m in height. By removing large cranes from the equation, the Self-Hoisting Crane has unlocked major economic and environmental bene ts for multiple OEMs, owners, and service providers. Liftra ApS | www.liftra.com

Highly reliable pitch system
e Moog Pitch System 3 meets the growing need for wind farm operators and turbine manufacturers to reduce wind farm capital and operating expenses.
e design of Pitch System 3 reduces the Levelized Cost of Energy by increasing wind turbine reliability and minimizing downtime. With an architecture that consists of signi cantly fewer parts, the Moog Pitch System 3 is up to three times more reliable than the industry’s standard pitch systems, which reduces turbine downtime and maintenance.
