When handling heavy installation materials during the construction of offshore wind turbines, there is no room for compromise when it comes to safety. When a customer in the wind industry approached us with a challenge during the mounting process of large offshore wind turbines, we got to work.
They needed a safe, reliable solution for lifting heavy installation equipment. The S020-033 Lifting Basket is engineered with a clear goal in mind: Simplifying offshore logistics while upholding the highest standards of safety and operational efficiency.
Engineered for offshore demands
The customer wanted to be able to lift heavy equipment into the nacelle. It was essential to have the possibility to open one side of the basket to allow a fully pallet to be placed directly into the basket using a forklift. When the door is closed, it is locked in place with locking posts stakes at the bottom and a safety bar at the top. The Lifting Basket is then lifted into the nacelle by four lifting points, one in each corner.
Key features
The S020-033 Lifting Basket has a number of practical and safety features that make it easy and safe to work with:
- Lockable doors secured with a steel cross bolt.
- Non-slip base.
- Top beam with locking system that can be stored vertically in corner posts.
- Crane and forklift compatible, with lifting lugs and fork pockets.
- Modular and stackable up to 4 empty or 2 full units
All baskets are load tested to 1.5 x WLL = 3750 kg and CE marked. The basket must be visually inspected before each lift to ensure safety. The basket must not be used for lifting personnel.
Proven results offshore
The Lifting Basket has streamlined the offshore installer’s workflow and minimized the risk of injury and error. With a basket that meets both safety standards and practical requirements in the field, the customer can now focus on what matters most: efficient installation without unexpected interruptions.
