Liftwerx has launched a new crane designed for the industry’s biggest turbines.
The BoxHook is capable of lifting machines ranging from 3MW to 8MW in size with its capacity of 100 tonnes.

The new crane which can lift turbines onto towers at heights up to 175 metres, will help drive down repair costs for both onshore and offshore turbines, claims the company.
According to Liftwerx the BoxHook is easy to assemble using one of the company’s GenHook cranes.
Once mounted, the BoxHook can perform corrective repairs for gearboxes, generators, transformers, and other major components.
In offshore environments repairs can be carried out using a smaller up-tower crane, as opposed to a costly jackup crane vessel, says Liftwerx.
