Huisman has received an order for the delivery of a Travelling Load Stabilising System, which will be integrated into both 3,000+mt Leg Encircling Cranes for Havfram’s two new NG-20000X-HF Wind Turbine Installation Vessels.
The Travelling Load Stabilising System enables Havfram to stabilise wind turbine components during installation, particularly blades, but also nacelles and tower segments.
In 2023, Huisman and Siemens Gamesa combined their engineering and operational expertise to launch the patented Travelling Load Stabilising System, designed to mitigate safety risks, reduce the cycle time and increase workability during the installation of components.
The system is now being adopted by other turbine manufacturers as well, further advancing sustainability across the wind industry.
The system consists of a combination of two pairs of tuggers working in unison to control to position of the load. One pair is fitted on independent trolleys that can travel along an integrated rail along the crane’s stiff boom.
Thanks to the rigid connection between the rail and the crane boom, the system as a whole becomes more stable, resulting in more reliable and effective control.
