Assembly with handling unit for moving a wind turbine component, such as a wind turbine hub, from a transportation position to a wind turbine assembly position in or on the nacelle, the main shaft or the hub

An assembly for a wind turbine, comprising:

• a wind turbine hub having a blade bearing;
• and
• a handling unit attached to said wind turbine hub at said blade bearing, said handling unit for moving said wind turbine hub from a transportation position to a wind turbine assembly position, said handling unit comprising:
• at least one connection point located outside said wind turbine hub and configured for connection to a wire of a crane system;
• at least two attachment points configured for attachment to said wind turbine hub;
• and
• an actuator configured for actuating said wind turbine hub around a unit rotational centre in order to perform a rotation of said wind turbine hub from the transportation position to the wind turbine assembly position, said actuator operating to rotate said wind turbine hub while said actuator and said wind turbine hub are suspended with the wire of the crane system,
• wherein said at least two attachment points are directly attached to said blade bearing without any additional special mounting arrangement being coupled to said blade bearing.
