Methods and system for transporting a component of a wind turbine

A method for transporting a component of a wind turbine to a storing position and storing the component, wherein the component is mounted on a transport frame, the method comprising:

• providing a transport arrangement comprising at least two elongate, height-adjustable, self-propelled transporter units mechanically connected at a trailing end of the transport arrangement;
• positioning the transport frame with the component mounted thereon onto the transport arrangement such that the at least two self-propelled transporter units are spaced apart by at least a predefined lateral distance from each other to create a free space therebetween, at a front end opposite the trailing end;
• using the transport arrangement, rolling the component to the storing position where at least one support device has been positioned, such that at least a part of the at least one support device passes through the free space at the front end of the transport arrangement and is located between a pair of the at least two self-propelled transporter units;
• lowering the at least two self-propelled transporter units such that the transport frame comes to rest on the at least one support device;
• and
• removing the transport arrangement from under the transport frame.
