Abstract
Provided is a method for handling a section of a wind turbine, including the steps: Inserting an inner part) of a first tool into an open first end of the section and/or inserting the first end of the section into an outer part of the first tool, actuating the first tool to exert pressure onto an inner surface and/or an outer surface of a wall of the section along the entire circumference or in multiple areas spaced along the circumference of the wall, and moving the first tool while the first tool is exerting the pressure on the inner and/or outer surface to move the section.
Claims12
A method for handling a section of a wind turbine, comprising:
- inserting an inner part of a first tool into an open first end of the section and/or inserting the open first end of the section into an outer part of the first tool;
- actuating the first tool to exert pressure onto an inner surface and/or an outer surface of a wall of the section along an entire circumference or in multiple areas spaced along the circumference of the wall;
- and
- moving the first tool while the first tool is exerting the pressure on the inner and/or outer surface to move the section.
A tool for attaching a section of a wind turbine to a handling device, wherein the tool comprising:
- a connecting section connected or connectable to the handling device,
- an inner part designed to be inserted into an open end of the section and/or an outer part configured to receive the end of the section;
- and
- one actuator or multiple actuators configured to move and/or deform at least one component of the tool to exert pressure onto an inner surface and/or an outer surface of a wall of the section along the entire circumference or in multiple areas spaced along the circumference of the wall.
