“With our new BAS we adapt to the continuous improving safety and technical requirements for working in the harsh environmental conditions surrounding wind turbine towers and rotor blades," explained the Technical Director of the company, Dirk Käufer.
With the K-BP-4 BAS it will be possible to maintain rotor blades with protruded blade tips up to 18 meters away from the tower, which in particular is the case with today's state of the art pre-bend rotor blades. The new BAS features side gangways which can be opened mechanically, enabling personnel to reach the full 360° longitudinal repair area surrounding rotor blades. The BAS will feature a three-way wire rope / winch suspension for improved stabilization of the platform in comparison with performance of its predecessors, and which will result in a clear measurable safety- and user experience.
Käufer Befahrtechnik will present the new K-BP-4 rotor blade access system at the WindEnergy Hamburg Expo from September 25-28, 2018, in Booth 329, Hall 7.
