Huisman and Siemens Gamesa have developed a solution to stabilise wind turbine blades during installation, but also nacelles and tower segments. The solution, called the Travelling Load Stabilising System, is universally applied in heavy-lifting cranes and can mitigate operational downtime and increase the integrity of the delicate wind turbine components, according to Huisman.

The system functions as an integral part of the crane and could be operated from the crane’s cabin as well from an optional walk-around box (WAB).
