Wind turbine components transport

The development of wind technology involves equipment whose transport requires a qualified logistical effort, due to the size and complexity of the wind blades, which involve vehicles, equipment and specialized professionals. Also to be taken into account are the great distances to be covered in a country of continental dimensions like Brazil and the adverse conditions of the roads and terrain.

Inserted in this market and adapted to this context, Transmáquinas is a benchmark in the movement and logistics of wind towers and blades, guaranteeing total safety throughout the journey. We have a multidisciplinary team to carry out strategic studies, planning and logistics, in order to obtain authorization from state and federal agencies to carry out the transport.

We have a team of engineers and riggers who are trained and certified by the regulatory agencies. It is they who identify the best handling strategy and which equipment will be used, such as trailers and cranes. In addition, we carry out road analysis in order to find non-conformities in relation to physical conditions, taking into account the characteristics of the roads, seeking to facilitate movement and minimize risks.

Towers

Wind turbine towers transport is carried out with excellence, agility and safety. The tower supports the rotor and nacelle at the appropriate height for its operation. Although most are made of steel, as they were originally built, there are now other models made of different materials, such as concrete.

Nacelles (Hub)

Equipment that requires a lot of attention and care when moving. The nacelles are the engine of the wind turbine. They are the heaviest components in the system and, depending on the wind turbine manufacturer, can weigh more than 100 tons. Transmáquinas has an integrated team for transporting sections, blades, hubs and nacelles throughout the country.

Wind Blades

We have equipment for transporting the largest wind blades. Blades capture the wind, converting its power to the center of the rotor. They are practically handmade from materials such as plastic (polyester and epoxy resin) and fiberglass. The design of the blades employs the same technical solutions used in aeronautics in the engineering calculations for aircraft wings.
