Abstract
A device for handling, mounting and/or dismantling components of a wind turbine using a crane includes a support movable in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the crane and attachable to the crane; and at least one guying device having a first end attachable to the movable support a second end attachable to the component in order to stabilize the position of the component. The guying device is rotatably attached to the support around a longitudinal axis of the crane. A related method employs a guying device movable around a crane longitudinal axis.

A device for handling components of a wind turbine with the aid of a crane, the device comprising:
- a support movable in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the crane and attachable to the crane;
- and
- at least one guying device having a first end is attached to the support and a second end attachable to the component of the wind turbine in order to stabilize the position of the component during handling, the guying device being rotatably attached to the support around a longitudinal axis of the crane.
A method to handle components of a wind turbine (1) with the aid of a crane comprising the steps of:
- stabilizing the position of the components using at least one guying device;
- vertically hoisting the components towards a longitudinal axis of the crane;
- and
- moving the at least one guying device around the longitudinal axis at least one of before, during and after the vertical hoisting step.
