 MAIN SHAFT FIXTURES
Save time
Eliminates the cost of lowering a rotor
Reduces risks
Functions in higher wind speeds
Ficture is assembled within nacelle
Ejector system pushes gearbox off main-shaft

A main shaft fixture can be assembled by the internal turbine hoist without the need for an external
main crane, and without dismantling the rotor. The main crane capacity is significantly lower since it
eliminates the rotor which is commonly the heaviest lift. All fixtures have an ejector system that pushes
off the gearbox with up to 30 tons of force.

For all the Liftra Main Shaft Fixtures Main shaft fixture
The fixture is delivered in a transport box, and includes ejector system, fitting, RePower/Senvion MM82 & NM92 (2,0MW)

LIFTRA 4TL SYSTEM
Allows for installation in higher wind speeds reducing total cost.
The Liftra Tagline System (4TL System) consists of 4 winches controlled from a remote. The control of the winches is com-
puted by an advanced control algorithm that ensures superior performance compared to traditional tagline systems.

4TL System 3D Model

A simulation 3D model of the 4TL system (red wires) installaing a blade offshore

TECHNOLOGY
The technology is based on orientation control in regards
to the actually angular position of the lifted turbine part.
A reference angle is selected on the remote control and
the turbine part is held in that particular angle with great
accuracy. This offers both benefits during installation and
uninstallation of wind turbine parts. The automated tagline
system is especially an advantage during blade installation/
uninstallation since the root end is held still while the blade
stud bolts are fitted into the hub. After release of the blade
the automated system will continuously keep the lifting
tool at selected reference angle to avoid it from swinging
back into the blade.
4TL System 3D Model
A simulated 3D model of the 4TL System in testing before production

In case that an existing winch system is used, the tagline system can be seen as an intelligent control layer
that is implemented on top of the current winch system. In this case the overall performance of the system
will be affected by the speed of these winches. Given the right winch data, a simulation of the full winch
system can be made to evaluate the performance before real installation.

 TRANSPORT EQUIPMENT
Equipment for transportation off -and onshore.

TOWER STACKING FRAMES

Each set consists of four support feet, two frames and ladders. Using a fork lift, two feet are assembled on the
top tower section, and ladders are subsequently mounted. The bottom section is mounted with feet and frames
then lifted to the stacking destination on the ship. Following this, the top section will be lifted and joined with the
bottom section. This allows for safe and easy transportation of the tower section.

corrosion.

Liftras latest offshore project was performed of the coast of Block Island. Liftra provided the blade yoke for the USs first offshore blade installation.
 DAVIT CRANES
Liftra has been producing Davit Cranes since 2005, and is a major supplier of davits in the
offshore wind turbine industry. Mounted on the base of offshore wind turbines to lift tools
and spare parts from supply boats. in addition, the davits can be certified for personal rescue.

FEATURES
Liftra has made 9 different types of davit cranes
First davit developed in 2005
Offshore cranes from 200kg - 2ton
Approved for person lift
Offshore coating
Reach from 0.8 - 5m
Integrated permanent hoist

The product range spans davits WLL from 0.2T to 2T with

reach from 0.8M to 5M. The bigger cranes can be delivered
with inegrated hoist as well as an optional slew drive.

SERVICE
The Liftra Davit crane service concept is based on a modular LT1070-1 Davit Crane
Intergrated hoist. All mechanical parts, brake, motor, slip clutch and
design. The future service activities are thought into the design

from the very first line drawn by the designer. The basic idea
is that only minor things will need to be fixed on site, since
replacements for the various modules are available on the service vessel. If e.g. a failure to meet required
test values for the hoist brake is discovered, the replacement hoist is hoisted onto the TP, and the faulty
hoist is dismantled for replacement. Hence, the Davit crane can be left fully functional, and a second trip
to fix the issue, is not needed. The defect hoist can then be returned to Liftra for Root Causes Analysis and
fixing of the issue.
