Assembly of the wind power plants takes place on specially designed frames, which are handled using a Solving air film transporter. Once assembled, the power plants can then be manoeuvred smoothly from the assembly cells out to despatch.

Once the power plant has been delivered to despatch, the transporter is driven back to the assembly area.

To ship the wind power plant, a wheel set is connected to one end of the frame and a truck to the other end. The whole system is then transported to site as a road-going vehicle.

This unique combination of Solving's air film-based handling equipment and Vestas Wind System's assembly frame / wheeled transport vehicle has enabled handling to be rationalised throughout the process, from production to site.
