Tool for transporting towers

Tool for tower transport, according to the first claim, characterised by determining two different modules (3 and 4), and an A module (3) for the coupling of the tool (1) to the sections (2) and a B module (4) for lifting sections (2).

Tool for tower transport, according to the first claim, characterised by the A module being made up of a plate (8) with inner (9.1) and outer (9.2) welded structural profiles (9) joined together with some transport profiles (10) and because it is made up of a height adjustment system (11) to fix some clamps (6) on the clamp of the section (2) of tower to be transported.

Tool for tower transport, according to the second claim, characterised by a balancing tool (27) being used to assemble a section on the A module.

Tool for tower transport, according to the first claim, characterised by the B module being used to lift sections (2) for sea transport and consists of joined structural profiles, determining two longitudinal profiles (4.1) that on the upper part determine some housings (22) to incorporate the fastening elements (20) to the A module, some side tabs (23) equipped with nuts and bolts elements (24) and some fastening lugs (26) to fix the entire assembly, transport tool, (1) and sections (2), to the means of transport, and at least one transversal profile (4.2) that joins these profiles (4.1).

Tool for tower transport, according to the first claim, characterised by determining at least two types of clamps distinguished by their location, lower clamp (6) and upper clamp (5).

Tool for tower transport, according to the fourth claim, characterised by consisting of a balancing tool (27) that is made up of a base plate (28) with some centring devices (29) and has a balancing tube (30) and an adjusting screw (31) with a ball and socket foot.

Tool for tower transport, according to the first claim, characterised by consisting of some fastening elements (20, 33) such as fastening chains (33), twistlocks (20) and fixing strips, that are used both to join the different modules (3 and 4) and to fasten the transport tool (1) and section (2) assembly on the means of transport.

Tool for tower transport, according to the first claim, characterised by consisting of the incorporation of some chocks (7) that determine a layer of polymer material (25) such as Teflon to support the sections (2) of tower to be transported.

Tool for tower transport, according to the first claim, characterised by the height adjustment system (11) of the A module being positioned between the inner profiles (9.1) of this module (3) and consists of a height adjustable clamp (12) that is connected at its two ends to two lugs (13) inserted in two threaded rods (14), which on the one hand are rested by a part made out of polymer material (15), such as Teflon, on a bushing (16) welded onto the module (3) and on the other are screwed to some parts (17) entering the inner profiles (9.1) of this module (3).

Tool for tower transport, according to the first claim, characterised by the bottom clamps (6) determining a hole (6.1) for fixing the section (2) with screwed joints, a recess (6.2) to support it on the clamp (12) of the height adjustment system (11) of the A module and some positioning chamfers (6.3).

Tool for tower transport, according to the first claim, characterised by the upper clamps (5) determining a mounting hole (5.1) to fix it to the section (2) with screwed joints and a recess (5.2) to position them on the inner side rested on the edge of the longitudinal profile (4.1) of the B module.

Tool for tower transport, according to the first claim, characterised by section (2) transport by road or railway using at least two 1 modules.

Tool for tower transport, according to the first claim, characterised by the transport of lifted sections (2) by boat using at least two 1 modules and at least two extra 2 modules.

Tool for tower transport, according to the first claim, characterised by the plate (8) of the A module determining some parts (17) for incorporating some fastening elements (20) and some holes (19) for threading some pins (21) to couple the chocks (7) in two positions.
