Chapter 1. How are wind turbine blades transported?

As the blades become larger and longer, the transportation of wind turbine blades is a big problem and a technical problem that requires calculation and planning. What method is used to transport blades safely and economically?

How to transport such a long blade is a difficult problem. From customers, we know that we can use blade lifters wind turbine trailers to transport windmill blades. But the longer the blade, the more difficult it is to transport and the higher the transportation cost. With the development of the highway network system, the use of professional transportation vehicles for cross-regional transportation of blades has become more and more convenient. There are Chinese wind turbines and blades that can be transported thousands of kilometers to countries along the Belt and Road via highways. It is also possible to transport blades by train in some plain areas. There is a video on the Internet that transports more than 30 blades by train at one time, which is spectacular. Transporting blades by sea is a safer and more convenient solution. At present, some large offshore installation vessels can transport more than 18 blades at a time, which can greatly reduce the installation cost of offshore wind power.

The efficiency of transporting blades by trains and ships is incomparable to ordinary automobile transport. With the development of offshore wind power, blade factories are also built in or near the wind power port, which has great convenience in transportation.

Modern day wind farms are becoming major contributors to the world power supply, serving as proof of the interest and commitment to using alternative energy. But these farms couldn’t be built without the equipment used to transport the turbine components from the manufacturer to the construction site. In the past, trailers used to mobilize the equipment on site lacked the safety, easy-of-use and the hauling capacity required of today’s offerings.

Bhachu Wind turbine wind turbine trailer is among the most innovative and advanced trailers in China. The blade lifters Bhachu wind turbine blade trailer is a leading edge, innovative wind turbine blade trailer to satisfy all your wind energy transportation needs. With fewer mechanical connections from the fifth wheel to the steered axle, you can save on height, weight, and maintenance. With its customized steering functionality, you can drive forward and backward. Its automatic centering device, when active above a certain speed, offers you the stability of a fixed axle.

These type of blade lifters Bhachu wind turbine blade trailer are used to transport turbine blades on mountain roads and curved roads as well. Because of the fact that extendable trailers are too long, when it comes to a mountain road, it is hard to steer hence the need for the special blade trailer. The design is made in such a way that the blade adaptor can lift up and down making it easier for the trailer to steer easily.

This  ASM technology is a fully dedicated microprocessor-controlled, electronic over hydraulic steering system which uses a software program to actuate axle turns. Because BladeMaster can effortlessly and continuously drive around tight corners, it is ideal for transporting long and cumbersome windmill blades. As it turns, the truck sends a signal through the kingpin sensor, specifying the radius needed by the rear axles to curve around the corner – which allows for a tighter radius than traditionally made blade trailers. The wind blade trailer steering – independent of speed — gives you the optimal steering angle, in all types of circumstances. You can check the alarms and calibration through a display, via its PC application.

Chapter 2. How to choose the right wind turbine blade trailer?

Wind blade transportation extendable trailer

The extendable beam feature is designed to allow for elongation to cater for different transportation needs. Due to the overall length of the blade lifters extendable trailer needed in this section, tough and strong materials with a yield strength of at least 460 MPa is used. This makes sure that the beam doesn’t sag during operations. In this section, the blade lifters windmill trailer can be adjusted to the desired length to take up the task at hand.

The goose-neck provides a connecting point of the blade carrier trailer to the truck. It is designed to lift up and down to meet the different height of the 5th wheel of a truck. When the truck steers, goose-neck can pass the signal, and the blade lifters trailer starts to steer. The steering system includes a steering function for the rear axles to help windmill trailer get through a curved road due to the 62 m length of the trailer.

The Bhachu blade lifters telescopic trailer for Bhachu wind turbine blade trailer could have three and four telescoping beams, and it could reach Max.62m length. the maximum can transport windmill blades within 80 meters. At the closed length of the telescopic trailer, it could use as a flatbed trailer. 

The Bhachu telescopic trailer mechanical suspension can accept overload. it could be air suspension and mechanical suspension. the air suspension is the balance ability cause it has automatic lifting distance. 

The Bhachu Telescopic Trailer for Windmill Blade could have three steering modes. One is Automatic steering ( at short length), one is Remote control steering and the last one is the Manual operation steering.

Advantage of Telescopic Trailers:

Reliable and Efficient. Constructed of high yield strength material, Bhachu telescopic trailers are reliable in terms of safety and general transportation needs.

It’s easy to use. The Bhachu blade lifters trailer comes in a simple design that is easy to use and operate either hands-on or remotely. Loading and offloading cargo are made safe and simple for operators to manage the operations in an effortless manner.

It can transport other kinds of oversized cargoes, not only the blades and tower. Therefore, the user can put the trailer into many other uses other than for transporting wind turbine blades.

One notable advantage of this Bhachu blade lifters wind turbine trailers is that it is a better match for different sizes of the tower. Therefore, users are not limited to a specific type and size of the tower.

Structure comprises of wind blade transportation:

A Gooseneck; A steering mechanism; An extendable beam; The tail platform.

There are three steering structure configurations namely: hydraulic bogies, turntable steering and axle steering.

Wind turbine blade trailer

The special Bhachu blade lifters wind turbine blade transportation trailer can lift the blades through hydraulic control and rotate itself 360 degrees during driving, avoiding various obstacles during transportation (mountain slopes, trees, houses, bridges, tunnels, etc.), which can greatly reduce the blades. The total length of the Bhachu transport windmill trailer body can improve the curve passing performance.

In this design structure, the turbine blade is fixed on the adapter. What makes this trailer special is that the Bhachu adaptor is customized for the blade. Although usually made from the best materials with sufficient yield strength, their custom design for taking blades may not make it a fit choice for other types of loads.

That means it will unlikely be used for another function. It is the kind of Bhachu blade lifters wind blade trailer you need if all you want to do is transport wind turbine blades only.

Wind turbine blade trailer Advantage:

These types of Bhachu blade carrier trailers are used to transport turbine blades on mountain roads and curved roads as well. Because of the fact that Bhachu extendable trailers too long, when it comes to a mountain road, it is hard to steer hence the need for the special blade trailer.

Blade adaptor can move the latest mega wind turbine blades. Bhachu Rotor blades can be picked up, raised up to an angle of almost 60°, swivelled and rotated by 360° around their own axis using this adapter, which is mounted on a self-propelled vehicle or between modular axle lines.

The Bhachu blade lifters wind turbine trailers design is made in such a way that the blade adaptor can lift up and down making it easier for the Bhachu blade carrier trailer to steer easily.
