Get the right plastic shipping covers for turbine blades, towers and nacelles


For more than 65 years, Reef Industries has been manufacturing and fabricating reinforced film laminates and composites that provide exceptional protection during transit or long-term storage of turbine blades, towers and nacelles.


eef’s expertise in producing quality, custom configured final products ensure that customers’ needs are always met in a timely and professional manner. Reef Industries offers a wide range of products, material grades, additives and fabrication capabilities to meet or exceed requirements. Impulse, wedge or hot air welding is utilised to optimise the fabrication technique that is best suited to produce a client’s uniquely configured and fabricated product. Moving turbine blades, towers and nacelles from where they are made to another location takes extensive planning – often lasting more than a year. The most common methods of travel involve using rail, road and sea. Travelling by road requires the removal of trees whereas travelling by train requires permits, which can take a while to be approved. As wind farms become an increasingly popular mode of energy generation, logistics will have to be fine-tuned as well. Reef Industries manufactures plastic laminates that provide exceptional protection during transit or long-term storage.
