Hello group, the construction of a new wind farm has just started where I live and the company doing it have chosen the Vestas V117-4.2 MW turbine.
Can anyone tell me what size or make of crane would be needed for erecting these turbines?.
Thanks in advance.

might not need a huge crawler crane if they use a climbing crane like here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=150&v=BewhWRmsmp4&feature=emb_logo&ab_channel=ENERCONGmbHThe video show the base being put together with an 8 axle crane. Maybe a LTM 1500? If using traditional method, i am guessing you probably need something like LR 1600?

Paul
Most likely the LG1750 seems to be the go to crane for onshore installation these days

Thanks guys, I was thinking along the lines of an LG1750 so we'll see what appears.

Might get away with the LG 1550 at a push but as already said I reckon BMS will just throw 1750s at it. There’s around 100 going up isn’t there Paul?

Yeh, that's the plan, 103 turbines.
Do you know which crane company has been hired by any chance?.

BMS were talking about it when we were cross hired to them back in 2018.
