WINDY WEDNESDAY
The longest blades to be transported in South Africa 🤩 Vanguard recently achieved 6 sets of SCHEUERLE RBTS (RotorBladeTransportSystem) because of a very special project. A total of 78 sets of wind power plants, that means 234 blades, will be transported from Port of NGQURA to the installation site in Noupoort. “This project has been months in the planning and it’s great to see all of the preparation and engineering work come to life with the transport phase beginning.”, explained Joost Heystek, Project Manager at Vanguard.
The rotor blade transport system from TII SCHEUERLE transports all rotor blade types that are available on the market safely and economically to their destinations. The combination together with a trailing unit is ideally suited for moving very long rotor blades. The system will also be able to accommodate the next generations of rotor blades with even larger dimensions thus proving its future viability. The rotor blade transport system consists of a 2-axle jeep dolly, free-turning device with a root adapter plus a 4-axle trailer as a trailing unit or an optionally available free-turning device that is directly coupled to the tractor, plus a trailing unit.
