It's only November, and LiftWerx has already performed more than 200 turnkey large corrective exchanges in 2025. The projects have been completed at wind farms across the USA and Canada, from California to Nova Scotia, and from the sunshine of south Texas to the cold windy plains of Alberta.

Our repairs are becoming larger and more complex, as our customers continue to gather more confidence in crane-less technology. But despite the complexity of our work, and thanks to our work-smarter-not-harder approach, we continue to find ways to make the work easier, safer, and more efficient.

This is LiftWerx Team 725, safely hoisting another rotor this week at a wind farm in the northern USA. This team continues to raise the bar in the wind energy industry, and has set new standards of what can be done using crane-less technology.

Kudos to LiftWerx team 620, who continue to consistently demonstrate what is possible using crane-less technology, at wind farms across America.

On this project in the Aermican West, we are wrapping up another successful main bearing exchange. Shortly, we'll be off to the next repair in sunny Texas, where we'll be exchanging another main bearing on a 114-meter tower.

At this time of year, the days are getting shorter, the air is becoming windier, the ground is becoming muddier, and the temperatures are getting much colder. It's more challenging to perform wind turbine repairs at this time year. We thank all of our technicians who finding the safest weather windows, day or night, and are keeping focus to bring our customers' assets back online.

Despite cold weather and plenty of mechanical challenges, this GE2.5-116 wind turbine received a new gearbox yesterday from LiftWerx Team 708.

At LiftWerx, because of the collaborative Can-Do attitude of our team, we always win, and fortunately, so do our customers!

They're hard to spot. Our up-tower technicians spend their days so high in the air, that you might need a zoom lens to see them working. But every day, each one of our GenHook™ and RotorHook™ teams is led by a handful of skilled technicians who are responsible for the following activities in the nacelle:

💡 LOTO and decommissioning activities
💡 Turbine operation
💡 Turbine trouble-shooting
💡 Wiring on various circuits, ranging from 24V DC to 690V AC
💡 Hydraulics
💡 Heavy-duty mechanical work
💡 Crane assembly and disassembly
💡 Crane operation, hoisting, and rigging

Working inside of a machine, there is no bathroom, no lunchroom, and not even a chair to sit on. And while doing these types of repairs, where we always need to remove the nacelle roof, the team is fully-exposed to wind, snow, rain, and hot sun. After all, wind farms are usually situated in areas of extreme weather.

This is complex work with many risks, and these repairs require a very multi-disciplined team with a strong focus on safety.

We're proud of all of our up-tower teams, and sincerely appreciate the skilled work they do every day.

Our operations group has been tirelessly working to prepare this RotorHook™ team for another year of successful projects. These equipment inspections have gone very well, and the team will be already back to work for our customers by mid-week. Thanks for a great job, guys!

People often ask us the question, "How do you guys get your cranes on top of wind turbine?" This quick video, taken this week at a project in the USA, shows the speed, simplicity, and straightforward nature of our assembly process for one of our RotorHook™ cranes.

After installation, it is capable of lifting 82 tonnes, and it will remove this 75-tonne rotor with comfort and ease.

Unlike a traditional crane, which always bears the risk of tipping over due to high winds combined with inadequate ground conditions, this up-tower crane will safely perform all lifts with no risk of instability.

Check out this incredible shot, taken this week during a LiftWerx night shift, and under a full November moon!

Using GenHook™ LT technology, our Team 674 exchanges blades and pitch bearings more efficiently than any other team in the world. Using only five truckloads of tools and crane equipment, and workable on towers up to 120 metres high, this setup requires only a few hours to assemble. And the equipment footprint on the landowner's ground is absolutely minimized.

This week, we were delighted to host delegates from a prominent wind turbine OEM at our headquarters in Cambridge. We have a high respect for these guests, as they are among the world's most experienced and tenured customers in the realm of wind turbine crane-less technology.

It was a pleasure and a privilege to demonstrate the world's best crane-less technology to these gentlemen, and we look forward to future discussions.

Yesterday, this RotorHook™ team safely completed their 22nd rotor lift at this wind farm in the American West. This wind farm is absolutely enormous, one of the largest in the entire world. Around the globe, there are only 20 wind farms larger than this one, most of them located in China, India, and offshore Europe.

Last night, under dark skies and a bright November moon, our team successfully load-tested our new GenHook™ 60729 crane system on our test tower in Cambridge. These tests are being performed to fully commission and load-test a new GE2.X interface kit which will be deployed later this month.

Thanks to everybody who stayed last night to complete this important task. This is a very strategic endeavour, and it marks our final equipment deployment of 2025, a transformational year at LiftWerx.
