Wind Turbines Part One

TheTamshee say: wind power is big business in Denmark. While parked at the quayside, we are getting surrounded by these gaint wind turbines. After construction they are transported to the dock with these clever wagons which have the conventional truck cab and hoisting trailer at the front, with an additional tail section-which is totally independant, and operated by remote control for the offloading operation. The turbine gearbox assembly is sandwiched between the two trailer sections, then lifted clear of the ground with the use of hydraulic pistons.
Thus, No cranes required to offload these gearbox assemblies. This is good for the trucking company because the driver does not have to hang around waiting for a harbour crane.
