Liftra has revolutionized the installation of wind turbines by creating the LT1500 crane that \u201cclimbs\u201d the wind turbine tower as it is being assembled instead of sitting beside it. The bottom of the crane grabs onto a flange of one tower section and lifts the next section into place.<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/h4>\n

Then, a \u201choist block\u201d travels up and attaches to the higher section and pulls the crane up the tower to attach to the higher flange. In a sequence of such grabbing and hoisting moves, an entire wind turbine, including the tower, nacelle, rotor, and blades, can be constructed<\/h4>\n
