The demands of wind energy projects for efficient and safe turbine installation and maintenance have prompted new developments in tool portability and compactness. These, in turn, are enabling innovations in wind turbine deployment and installation, as well as reducing their impact on the marine environment.
Wind energy turbines are deployed in places with access to higher wind speeds, either on higher ground or offshore. In both cases, sites are remote with little or no access to traditional power sources. The need for power torque wrenches and other tools in remote locations has driven the growth in hydraulic pump portability.
