It's might be hard to see, but at the top of this wind turbine, one of our RotorHook™ cranes is safely and carefully hoisting this fully-assembled rotor. This project is one of many large corrective repairs that LiftWerx is performing at this wind farm in the Appalachian region of the USA.

Thanks to a great site team!

LiftWerx is excited to announce a new era in the realm of up-tower wind turbine repairs. This week, we launched our first large corrective team which is laser-focused on the exchange of blades and pitch bearings, using up-tower crane technology.

Comparing these photos, it's easy to understand the benefits and efficiency of this new approach, as compared to the conventional method of replacing blades with two traditional cranes. In addition to providing a Liebherr LTM1450 telescopic crane to support the tip of the blade, which weighs only a few tons, the heavier root end of the blade is hoisted using a GenHook™ LT crane.

If you're not familiar with GenHook™ LT technology, this is the world's most efficient up-tower crane. Weighing only 6MT, this crane is mobilized in a single ISO container. This container carries all crane equipment, all tools required for the repair, and many turbine interfaces which are used to attach the crane to over a dozen different wind turbine models. The GenHook™ LT is much smaller than most other up-tower cranes and self-hoisting cranes in the global market, and is ideally-suited for lifting blades, which weigh far less than drivetrain components.

This is the next small step in advancing our global energy transition. Congratulations to our entire team of technicians, operators, drivers, engineers, and suppliers who are bringing this new technology to life!

The LiftWerx Flag of Adventure has been raised in one of North America's most spectacular natural landscapes: the pristine Discovery Islands of British Columbia! Proudly bearing the flag is LiftWerx's Dave Binkley, logistics specialist.

Located on Canada's Pacific coast, the Discovery Islands are situated at the northern end of the Salish Sea and the eastern end of Johnstone Strait, nestled between Vancouver Island and the mainland coast of British Columbia. Most of these islands have very few residents. Only Quadra Island and Cortes Island have ferry service; the remainder of the islands are solely serviced by private boat or float plane.

The area's geography is complex. With such a pristine and beautiful landscape, the primary attraction for visitors is this area are salmon fishing, sailing, kayaking, and hiking. When travelling by boat, it is remarkably difficult to determine whether a sighted coastline belongs to the mainland, Vancouver Island, or one of the Discovery Islands.

Here at LiftWerx, we are fortunate to employ a staff who have a zest for life and adventure. Thanks to Dave for raising the Flag!

Well, here's a sight that we don't see every day. Yesterday, while working in the midwest USA, one of our teams came across an immense grass fire at a General Electric 2.8-127 wind farm. The fire measured around 100 acres (40 hectares) in size.

Don't worry! Our team did some digging into the situation, and as it turns out, this was a controlled burn that was being performed for agricultural purposes. No wind turbines or LiftWerx personnel were affected by the fire, but it was definitely a sight to behold.

If you look closely, you'll see our tiny but powerful GenHook™ 622 crane on top of this General Electric nacelle, at a wind farm in the midwest USA.

This crane, rated at 30 MT, was designed to eat gearboxes for lunch.

Congratulations to Team 725, who are wrapping up their very first large corrective project with a brand new RotorHook™ kit!

This GE2.5-116 wind turbine, located in the northern USA, required the replacement of both a blade as well as the main bearing. This photo shows the rotor being safely hoisted back up to the nacelle, after completion of both exchanges.

Thanks to a great site team! We are proud of you!

Here are a few snaps from a new project in the northern USA, where this rockstar team is working with a beautiful new kit of equipment, which is only a small fraction of the size of what would be normally used for this type of work. At this project, where we will spend the next few months, this team will demonstrate the power of what can be done with LiftWerx's RotorHook™ and GenHook™ cranes, with strong support from a couple of small mobile cranes on the ground.

We are entering a new realm in the world of crane-less technology. Working at hub heights of 114 meters, this team will be safely exchanging dozens of blades, hubs, pitch bearings, main bearings, and gearboxes. Guys, let's show the wind energy industry how it's done!

Check out this new rig! This shiny new truck boasts a beautiful new beavertail trailer, our first new 9,000-lb (4MT) telehandler, and a sexy branded skidsteer for handling support equipment on the ground.

This unit is heading to a new customer in Michigan, USA. At site, this new equipment will be working with our Team 725, and will be performing the world's heaviest and most complex wind turbine repairs that's ever been done with crane-less technology.

Check out this misty morning shot, taken this week at one of our projects in the eastern USA. Shortly after taking the photo, the rotor was safely removed in order to replace the main bearing. Thanks for a great job, guys!

Since the inception of this team in 2016, this talented team has discreetly performed nearly 300 gearbox exchanges, all using crane-less technology. Despite a very cold and difficult winter season, this team has already completed 18 exchanges this year at wind farms across the continent.

This beautiful sunrise photo was taken this weekend at a wind farm in Nebraska. Can't see the team? You'll need to look closely at the horizon at the base of the tower, and you'll see the two trucks that we utilize with our Team 605. Believe it or not, all tools, crane equipment, and interfaces pack up in these two trucks, and it's all that's needed to efficiently perform these complex repairs.
