LiftWerx

LiftWerx offers major component replacements in wind turbines using creative and innovative crane-less lifting solutions.

09/26/2025

At LiftWerx, we are in a relentless pursuit of continuous improvement. Our repairs are challenging, and we do everything in our power to develop technology that makes large corrective repairs safer, easier, faster, more efficient, and less expensive. Put simply, we'd rather work smart than work hard.

Merek is working with one of our Heli-Hook™ cranes on a GE2.8-127 wind turbine in Oklahoma. We're already working on our 7th generation of Heli-Hook™ cranes since 2017. That's a technology step every 1.5 years.

This is what a great team looks like. These ten handsome gentlemen comprise most of Team 654, and they possess more experience with crane-less rotor drops than anybody else on the globe. LiftWerx launched its first RotorHook™ crane in 2019, by performing the world's first Siemens 2.3MW crane-less main bearing exchange.

Today, this team is performing a complex wind turbine repair in the northern USA. At this tower, we are temporarily removing all of the blades, exchanging the pitch bearings, and then replacing both the gearbox and main bearing as well.

Speaking of exchanges, next week this team is exchanging their older RotorHook™ 654 crane kit for a brand new one: RotorHook™ 728! They'll be boosting their crane-less heavy-lift power from 66MT to 82MT, and they'll be moving up to bigger repairs on larger and higher wind turbines.

Stay tuned while this team raises the bar!

This week, the LiftWerx Flag of Adventure was raised in another spectacular location. This time, the Flag was raised on the remote wilderness shores of the Lady Evelyn River, located in northern Ontario, Canada. Proudly bearing the Flag is LiftWerx's Daren Bernier, who works on the company's training team.

Daren worked hard for this photo! This scene was captured at the foot of Bridal Veil Falls. To reach this location, Daren paddled for for 50 kilometres (~30 miles) two days by canoe, as there are no road links to this wild part of Ontario.

Here at LiftWerx, we are proud to employ a team of professionals who have a zest for life and adventure. Thanks to Daren for Raising the Flag!

At LiftWerx, we are proud of our highly-skilled team. Unlike other wind energy contractors, we fully self-perform our specialized repairs, without any need for subcontractors or third parties.

How do we do this? We combine the skills of our wind turbine technicians with the skills of our logistics staff, engineers, and crane specialists, creating multi-discliplinary field teams who are equipped to perform all services in house, regardless of complexity.

At this ongoing project in the USA, we are performing a main shaft replacement as well as a hub exchange on a 114-meter tower. It's a highly-technical project, requiring skilled technicians to perform the repair, while at the same time, requiring the operation of many different crane systems and heavy equipment, both up-tower and down-tower.

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or ninety. Conversely, curiosity and lifelong learning lead to knowledge, wisdom, and endless youth.

This week at LiftWerx, here's an example of what lifelong learning looks like. Kudos to Alex, Nick, and Thomas, all respected members of our engineering team, who are investing a week of their time in the USA to expand their knowledge in the realm of welding processes, principles of connection design, detailing, weld sizing, fatigue, and distortion.

Look at those smiles! Who would have thought that welding could be so much fun?

09/15/2025

So far, in 2025, our team has performed 150 gearbox lifts. Here's one of our most recent gearbox lifts, performed last week at a sunny wind farm in North Dakota. Kudos to LiftWerx Team 708!

09/14/2025

LiftWerx's test tower facility is a busy place these days. This week, our team in Cambridge performed a full annual maintenance program on all cranes, tools, rigging, trucks, and trailers in our 620 RotorHook™ team.

During a typical program, our team is responsible for hundreds of maintenance tasks, including inspection of major crane components, non-destructive testing of welds, repairs, and calibration of tools.

During these programs, we often take the opportunity to upgrade the team's equipment, so that they are always working with the best gear in the wind energy industry.

Thanks to a great team who are getting it done!

At LiftWerx, we hire a lot of student interns, mostly in engineering, technician, software, or millwright-related discliplines. We've hired students from universities and colleges across North America, and with our headcount rising, we're hiring more interns than ever before.

After working for several months at LiftWerx, this handsome group of university students just wrapped up their internships, and they've headed back to school to continue their studies in engineering and computer science. Hopefully many of them will return to LiftWerx, to develop more experience in the wind energy industry, and perhaps some of them might consider full-time careers at LiftWerx after graduation.

But let's get one thing straight: we don't hire students to do all of the crappy jobs that no-one else likes to do. We rely on interns for key roles in the company: wind turbine technician roles, design engineering, operational engineering, and software development. These are value-added positions, and without these interns, our talent pool would be much shallower.

Most importantly, we trust our interns with high-value work, and we invest in them. We provide them with the best clothing gear, we provide them with expensive safety training, and we fly them to project sites around North America.

Some students only work for LiftWerx for as few as four months. Why, you might ask, do we make such large investments in these "temporary" roles? It's because we believe in investing in people, and we believe in recruiting for the long term. Many of our best employees started as young student interns. Many of us who entered the industry as interns were mentored by wise, patient, and experienced people. And today, by returning the favour, it's the least we can do to invest in our youth, and in our future.

This informative video illustrates, in very simple terms, how to exchange a wind turbine's main bearing using RotorHook™ technology.

After the rotor is removed and carefully set on the ground, this tiny but powerful up-tower crane safely removes the old main shaft assembly, then installs a new one. And then, to finish the repair, the rotor is installed once again.

After completion of the repair, the turbine is commissioned, and is ready to produce power for many more years on a 24/7 basis.

LiftWerx is offering these pre-owned blade stands for a price of $12,500 USD per blade set, or $29,500 USD for a full rotor set (3 root stands + 3 tip stands). They are universal stands, designed to fit any wind turbine blades up to 50 meters in length, or with weights up to 12MT.

These assets are available immediately, EXW Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. If you have an interest, please inquire at tooling@liftwerx.com.

This is an impressive wind turbine repair. At this project in the northern USA, we are replacing most of the large bearings in the entire machine, including all three pitch bearings as well as the main bearing.

However, despite the large size of the repair, our team is performing the work with a remarkably minimal amount of equipment. Our setup minimizes ground footprint, carbon footprint, and mobilization costs, all of which create customer value. This repair requires only the following equipment:

Qty = 1, RotorHook™ crane kit
Qty = 2, Telescopic tailing cranes for handling the blades on the ground
Qty = 1, Unbalanced rotor stand
Qty = 1, Tooling container
Qty = 7 Tractor-trailers for transportation of all cranes & counterweight equipment
Qty = 2, Additional trailers for transportation of tooling

Using traditional cranes, this repair would require at least three times as much equipment. With so much more equipment, this also translates into a much higher carbon footprint, higher costs, and a much higher impact to the landowner's cropland.

We are pleased to introduce GenHook™ 60758, the newest up-tower crane asset in our fleet!

This crane is currently being commissioned and tested at KenzFigee's facilities in Zaandam, the Netherlands. Over the next few days, this handsome new machine will be shipped to the North American market to be utilized for wind turbine gearbox exchanges. This is a growth machine, further expanding LiftWerx's presence in the USA and Canada, and providing even more availability to our customers.

This is the 12th GenHook™ crane to be produced by our group since 2019. Proven in both onshore and offshore wind energy applications, these cranes are successfully working around the world in the wind energy O&M market.
