WindSpider has received a NOK 17.5 million grant from Innovation Norway for further development of their aluminium lifting solution, control system, and simulator.
The crane system is designed for installation and maintenance of wind turbines both onshore and offshore. This project initiates the construction of the first full-scale unit of the WindSpider system. The self-erecting solution uses the turbine tower as support and has an effective lifting capacity of over 1,500 metric tons.
