SECTORS / Wind energy
Equipment design and calculations for the wind industry.
Does a wind turbine component need to be transported, lifted or installed? We develop and analyse the mechanical equipment and provide models, drawings and a calculation report.

DELIVERABLES
What you receive from Solutn.
- A concept and mechanical design basis.
- A 3D model and manufacturing drawings as agreed.
- A calculation report with loads, assumptions and results.
- A description of relevant interfaces and limitations of use.
- Technical support during manufacturing within the agreed scope.
How we get started.
Send us the material you already have. We review the basis and agree on scope, documentation and schedule.
View the relevant information and files
- Geometry and data for the component to be handled.
- Weight, centre of gravity and relevant load cases.
- Information about transport, installation or lifting.
- Interfaces, available space and intended use.
- The customer’s design requirements and manufacturing-documentation needs.
The scope may be a calculation for an existing design, development of a new tool or a complete, defined design package.
TYPICAL TASKS
A component’s journey starts with the right equipment.
Transport and installation place demands on the component, the tool and the interfaces connecting them. Solutn develops mechanical solutions and calculations based on the specific handling task and agreed loads.
Lifting tools
Design and calculations for specialist tools used to lift and handle wind turbine components.
Transport equipment
Design of transport frames, restraints and other solutions for the agreed transport and support conditions.
Fixtures and installation tools
Mechanical solutions for positioning, handling and installation in the specific workflow.
Strength and finite element analysis
Analytical calculations and finite element analyses of relevant structures, joints and load cases.
Fatigue and repeated use
Assessment of cyclic loads and factors relevant to the equipment’s agreed service life.
Manufacturing documentation
3D models, drawings and technical dialogue with the customer and selected manufacturer.
TECHNICAL ILLUSTRATIONS
Geometry and results in engineering.
Transport and handling
Equipment design and calculations focusing on weight, centre of gravity, load cases and the interfaces connecting the equipment with the component.
QUESTIONS
Before we get started.
Can you analyse a tool that has already been designed?
Yes. We can work from an existing design and clarify the required calculation basis.
Can you help with manufacturing?
Technical support and collaboration with a manufacturer can be included. Responsibilities are agreed for the specific deliverable.
Is this work relevant to offshore installation too?
Yes, when the specific task and its offshore loads form part of the calculation and design basis.
CONTACT
What needs to be calculated or designed?
Send a short description, a drawing or a photo. Tell us what you want to modify or assess and when you need the deliverable. We will clarify the technical basis and next steps.
You are also welcome to call if the scope is still taking shape.
