ENERCON Logistic has strengthened its transport capabilities by acquiring three Rotor Blade Transport Systems (RBTS) from TII Scheuerle. These systems ensure safe, efficient, and flexible transportation of wind turbine rotor blades, offering unique technical features such as lateral displacement of the blade and easy handling.
During its first major test, the RBTS successfully navigated a challenging 50-kilometer route, including reversing along a narrow farm track to deliver a 65-meter rotor blade to a wind farm. Fleet Manager Tino Hülsmeyer praised the system’s excellent driving dynamics, allowing drivers to maintain control without unnecessary repositioning.
Beyond performance, the purchasing decision was influenced by RBTS’s advanced features, including a sliding carriage for load stability and a gyrostatic transport platform that minimizes torsional stress on the blades. The dual lifting cylinder design enhances stability while reducing maintenance costs.
ENERCON also commended TII Scheuerle for its professional support, from planning to delivery and training. Factory briefings and on-site test loading at Wilhelmshaven’s Jade-Weser-Port ensured smooth implementation. The RBTS also allows quick unloading and short-coupling for cost-efficient empty runs, reducing permit requirements.
With these new systems, ENERCON is now equipped to transport even the longest rotor blades currently in production, reinforcing its commitment to future-ready logistics.
