KenzFigee is launching an up-tower crane solution for major component exchange at Wind Energy Hamburg
The GenHook up-tower crane has a lifting capacity of up to 30 tonnes and is designed to undertake generator and gearbox exchanges and repairs. It is suitable for use with a wide range of offshore wind turbines.
The company said development of the crane “is a direct result of market demand for more efficient solutions for component exchange and repair.”
Using the up-tower crane technology, smaller, less expensive jack-up barges and offshore vessels can be deployed to effect component exchange than would otherwise be required.
The GenHook crane was designed to be easy to install, using a service crane on the nacelle of a wind turbine. It is assembled in a few steps.
