The wind energy sector continues to grow, with a strong focus on maximizing existing sites through increasingly powerful and larger turbines. As a result, the demands for transporting XXL wind turbine blades are rising. This requires high-quality equipment in order to continue competing “in the top league.”
P. Adams Schwertransporte has also recognized these developments and initiated the acquisition of a BladeMAX1000 from Cometto. “This ensures,” says Joachim Kolb, Sales Manager at Cometto, “that the customer can transport every rotor blade currently available on the market – and there is still plenty of reserve capacity for the future.” The performance of the blade lifter BladeMAX1000 plays a decisive role, especially given the continuously increasing dimensions of modern rotor blades.
“In addition to the maximum load capacity of 1,000 mT, I was particularly impressed by the Stability Control System (SCS),” adds company founder Peter Adams. “After visiting Cometto’s production facility in Italy and engaging in intensive technical discussions with Technical Director Fabrizio Lippi, I personally attended a transport operation in Austria involving the world’s largest onshore rotor blade and was able to see with my own eyes how much additional stability is generated at high lifting angles.”
Transport quality for the "last mile"
CEO Stephan Adams is also convinced by the latest investment, as it enables the company to continue meeting increased customer requirements with its well-known quality in rotor blade transport on the “last mile.”
Founded in 1988, P. Adams Schwertransporte, with locations in Luxembourg, Belgium, Germany and Sweden, has developed into a recognized player in international heavy transport.
For more than 15 years, the company has also been active in the wind energy sector – and soon in wind blade transport as well … propelled to the MAX.
