Heavy lift rig for wind turbines springs into action at Harland and Wolff

Modulift has designed and manufactured a massive lifting rig that is being used to lift and assemble Repower’s 5MW wind turbines at Harland and Wolff in Northern Ireland. Harland and Wolff is responsible for unloading and assembling the clean power generators for Vattenfall’s Ormonde Offshore Wind Farm Project in the Irish Sea. They also have to load them back onto barges when fully assembled for installation in the Irish Sea. This requires a rig that can multi-task, and Modulift has provided the solution.
