1. Taylor announces their NEW RTGB-5040 for handling Wind Mill parts, blades and tower post

Wind Mills consist of the following parts; blades, tower post, nose cone and generator. Currently the blades and towers are being handled with one or two reach stackers depending on weight and center of gravity distance. The nose cones are being handled in some areas with T-520M's. The generators can weigh up to almost 200,000 lbs. and are currently being lifted with a construction boom/cable type crane.

Taylor is proposing the following.
Attached you will find a brochure for the RTGB-5040 rubber tired gantry crane for handling wind mill parts. The crane has 50,000 lbs. capacity and has a nominal 40' inside clear width, see the specs. The blades can be up to 202' long and weigh 39,100 lbs. which can not be handled with one reach stacker. This is where the NEW RTGB-5040 blade handler comes in, to handle all blade sizes from the 140' to the 202'. This crane can lift and carry the blades and tower post (up to 50,000 lbs). This crane requires a concrete pad to drive down and 60' square pad to turn the crane around.
