The industry needs safer, quicker, and lower-cost solutions to keep wind turbines spinning and keep up with the market’s demand, at a competitive price level. LiftOff is determined to make this happen. Having proved its competence in providing unique and innovative ways of working, the company is taking significant steps as it continues to deliver the best-in-class services.
Based in the Netherlands and operating globally, LiftOff is an engineering focused contractor providing turnkey major component exchange services and specialised lifting solutions. The company excels in using up-tower cranes to handle the heavy lifting needed for replacing large wind turbine components such as gearboxes, generators, and blades.
Whether onshore or offshore, bringing a traditional large crane to a site involves significant cost and logistical challenges. It addresses this by using the existing turbine tower to achieve the necessary lifting height, eliminating the need for transporting a tall, sturdy crane structure to the site.
Typically, employing an up-tower crane reduces the equipment tonnage required for these operations by at least tenfold, demonstrating that sometimes, less truly is more.
