Wind Crane Scope

Wind Energy Crane Services

  • Turbine tower erection — section-by-section tower assembly using main and assist cranes
  • Nacelle picks — heavy nacelle placement at hub height (60–120m) with precision drivetrain alignment
  • Blade lifts — individual blade picks, root-first or tip-first installation
  • Hub installation — hub placement and blade-to-hub assembly (ground or air)
  • Substation & transformer crane — transformer placement and electrical infrastructure for wind projects
  • O&M crane support — major component exchange (MCE) for gearbox, main shaft, and nacelle R&R
  • Repowering crane services — teardown and re-erection for wind turbine repowering projects

Common Questions

Wind Crane FAQ

What crane is used to install a wind turbine? +
Modern utility-scale wind turbines (2–5MW, 80–130m hub height) require main cranes in the 400–1,000T+ class for nacelle and hub picks, plus an assist crane for blade handling. Specific crane is selected based on component weights, hub height, radius, and ground-bearing conditions at each site.
How long does it take to erect a wind turbine? +
A single turbine typically takes 3–5 crane days depending on tower section count, component weights, site conditions, and wind windows. Our wind division has managed 75+ turbines and can provide project-specific schedule benchmarks during the proposal process.
Do you support wind turbine major component exchanges (MCE)? +
Yes. We provide O&M crane support for major component exchanges — gearbox removal, main shaft R&R, and nacelle replacement — on operating wind turbines. Our crews understand access constraints and safety protocols for working on live wind farms.
Are you prequalified for EPC-managed wind projects? +
Yes. Apex Crane Service is prequalified through ISNetworld and Avetta, which are required by most wind project EPCs and developers. Our operators are NCCCO-certified and we carry full safety compliance documentation.
