KenzFigee has signed a contract with LiftWerx for delivery of three up-tower cranes.
The order consists of three up-tower cranes, comprising of a TeleHook, a Heli-Hook and a GenHook crane, able to perform generator and gearbox exchanges on a wide range of wind turbines, both offshore and onshore.
These zero emission cranes, fully powered by wind turbine backfeed power, will be added to LiftWerx’s European fleet of up-tower cranes for turbine repairs in the 2MW to 10MW range.
This new crane package offers a lifting capacity of 30 tonnes and is suitable for fixed-to-fixed lifting applications on offshore wind turbines up to 10MW.
With its hoisting capacity of 30 tonnes, the GenHook crane is an important addition to LiftWerx’s fleet of up-tower cranes, intended to supplement the current market demand for major component exchanges in Europe.
KenzFigee’s up-tower cranes are specifically designed to be temporarily installed in wind turbine nacelles, used for major component exchanges.
“KenzFigee congratulates LiftWerx on the milestone that this order will bring their fleet to a total of 40 cranes across North America and Europe”, says Maikel Takken, CEO of KenzFigee.
“This transaction further emphasises the high demand for major component exchange solutions in the onshore and offshore markets.
“We consider ourselves privileged to be part of this growing market, and by innovating side-by-side with our clients and partners, we will be able to take operational efficiency to new heights.”
