can take on such missions,”
says Faymonville product manager Rainer Noe. “The different base variants and tyre options make the concept extremely interesting for the user.” Two installed tower adapters
facilitate connection to the tower segments in three-point or four- point clamps without an additional frame. In the basic version, the components are conceived for internal diameters from 2,650 to 5,400 millimetres. “And an extension to 6,300 millimetres is available if even larger tower segments need to be moved,” says Noe, describing the solution for possible XXL versions. The two adapters are designed
for maximum flexibility, as segments with an external flange can also be accommodated. Even the transport of various machine houses is possible with this system. The vertical stroke of 1,600 millimetres facilitates passing over high obstacles along the route, such as roundabouts, crash barriers or road boundaries. “We are the only supplier on the market with a hydraulic suspension,” says Noe. “This principle is used to raise or lower the self-steering trailer on one side, thereby increasing the stability of the convoy considerably

Faymonville’s latest wind tower adapter with free rotation device mounted on a 4+7 dolly trailer
in critical passages. “The steering system has four
steering cylinders for the front steering and four for the rear steering. For further optimisation of the safety aspect, the vehicle width is set to 2,750 millimetres.” Hydraulic and mechanical
locking systems prevent inadvertent lowering or retraction of the adapter. The general handling is intuitive and simple. When handling the adapter, the user is always in a safe area due to the standard remote controls and has a perfect overview when loading and unloading. In conclusion, we see the
transition to sustainable and renewable energy resources is being fuelled by the innovative solutions of manufacturers and concerted efforts of end
users across the lifting and transportation sectors. Specialist lifting and transport companies, in particular, have emerged as pivotal players in this transformative journey, as demonstrated by their contributions to various projects spanning nuclear, waste-to-energy, offshore wind, and onshore wind sectors. As the energy landscape
continues to evolve, collaboration and innovation will remain essential in overcoming obstacles and realising the full potential of sustainable energy sources. The achievements highlighted across these diverse projects and products serve as a testament to the collective determination and creativity driving the transition towards a cleaner, more sustainable future.
