The hub of a wind turbine is a delicate component that must be handled with absolute control for its correct installation. It connects the blades to the rest of the drive train and, with Airpes solutions you can transport and install it with total safety.
Airpes (China) Co., Ltd. is satisfied to celebrate its first anniversary with the delivery of the 12th tool designed by the Airpes GROUP engineering team and manufactured by our China branch office. Want to know what it looks like? A Yoke Blade Clamp Installation Tool for the Xingjiang region Xingjiang is a region located in the far northwest of China and that is where the latest Single Blade Installation Tool we have designed has traveled. At this time of year, temperatures are usually below 0ºC, but this challenge is not something that our clamp installation tools cannot handle. Thanks to our internal electrical and hydraulic heating systems (which have been tested and certified at our Airpes GROUP headquarters), this tool can withstand down to -30ºC. In addition, Airpes (China) is providing on-site support at the wind farm where it is being used to ensure that all clamps are working on neat conditions and to solve any doubts regarding how to operate the tool.

The blades of a wind turbine can measure about 80 meters. Moving them is not easy, but the result is always rewarding. Doing so with the proper installation tools and with total security is key to the successful assembly of a wind farm. To make a correct pursuit of each on-demand project once the tool is in operation is one of the characteristics of quality of Airpes. We also offer training for the operators who will use them. Want to see an example? An on-demand Clamp Installation Tool for a large wind energy company Each wind turbine in a wind farm has 3 blades. And, in a wind farm, there can be hundreds of wind turbines - that's a lot of blades! For example, in the time-lapse video below, you can see how the last blade of a wind farm of 103 wind turbines is installed (so it would be the blade nº309). And how have they all been installed? Thanks to an Airpes blade...
