Australia - Power Climber Wind Supplies Turbine Service Lifts at Macarthur Wind Farm
Power Climber Wind, a division of SafeWorks, LLC, has been selected to supply 140 turbine service lifts (TSLs) for the Macarthur Wind Farm in Victoria, Australia.
Power Climber Wind will provide and install the service lifts for this wind plant which, is permitted to generate up to 420 MW of electricity, making it the southern hemisphere’s largest wind plant, generating enough power for 220,000 homes in the area.
The TSLs quickly and safely transport technicians to the top of towers to service equipment - a preferred alternative to climbing a 100 m ladder multiple times per day. With close to 10,000 service lifts supplied worldwide, Power Climber Wind designs and supplies custom turbine service lifts that are UL-listed and CE approved for many leading WTG manufacturers.
“This project demonstrates Power Climber Wind’s expertise in navigating the complex design process to earn AS 1735 elevator registration in Australia,” said Ruben Bake, Vice President and General Manager. “Excellent levels of service and technical support from our global team contributed to the success of the Macarthur project, which is estimated to reduce up to seven million tons of greenhouse gases annually.”
