1 General
Correct load securing in accordance with international regulations prevents an immediate risk of
accident due to missing or improperly installed safety devices.

In addition to averting economic and business damage, it is particularly important to avoid the
risk of personal injury.

The transport specification is not an expert report. Before each sea/road transport, the
responsible carrier must carry out a sufficient cargo securing calculation and order/amount of
securing means and load distribution must be adjusted accordingly.

1.1 Purpose
This transport specification describes the handling and the cargo securing requirements for
transporting the nacelle used for Delta4000 wind turbines.

1.2 Target group


This document and the handling instructions contained therein apply to all Nordex Group plants
and loading and transhipment yards as well as to forwarding agents and freight forwarders who
carry out transport orders for Nordex Group and its subsidiaries.

Safety notes for crane operations

General

The regulations for crane work may be different from one country to another. The p erson in
charge of the lifting operation must be familiar with the country -specific regulations before
starting the work and informs subordinate employees about these regulations in writing.

There must be a person who knows these regulations and is available as a contact, during the
entire lifting operation.

TRANSPORT AND HANDLING INSTRUCTION
Rev.: H

TRANSPORT SPECIFICATION - NACELLE – DELTA4000 Page: 10 / 35

Regulations on lifting of components

Only suitable, approved and certified lifting tackles with sufficient load capacity are used to hoist
components.

Cranes with a lifting capacity and outreach appropriate to the load weight and stowage position
must be used. When loading with shore-side cranes, care must be taken to ensure that the load
and cranes are positioned close enough and that the ground is level and can withstand the
resulting surface load/pressure. If necessary, the subfloor must be prepared with steel plates or
crane mats laid under the crane support legs.

If the weight of the nacelle exceeds the permissible load limit of one crane in single -crane
operation, this may cause material damage.

 Use a crane with sufficient capacity.


 Use a crossbeam and hoist the nacelle using two cranes.
 Two cranes must be synchronized by electronic synchronization system to the nacelle’s
vertical lifting movement.
No one must stand or walk under the suspended load. All individuals maintain adequate safety
distance from suspended loads to prevent injuries from falling objects.

Weather conditions

During thunderstorms, all crane work must be stopped due to a risk of lightning striking the
crane or a component. Consult the crane operator to determine the maximum wind speed at
which crane work is possible. The limit wind speed for crane work depends on the type of crane,
the design of the crane and the wind conditions.

The crane operator is fully responsible during all crane work. The responsible employee and the
crane operator mutually agree when crane work must be stopped due to the wind conditions and
when they can be resumed.

7.1 General considerations


 The bed minimum width must be 2,400 mm.

 The nacelle transport frame must rest on the truck platform as much as possible.

 The lashing elements must not touch/damage the component at any time.

 Anti-slip mats (minimum coefficient of friction: 0.6) must be placed between the transport
frame and the truck bed in the positions indicated below. The anti-slip mats must be of a
quality and design that ensures that they do not lose their properties during the entire
journey.

Figure 24: Anti-slip mat positions (min. 300x300x8 mm) green colored

7.2 Nacelle’s position on the trailer


It is possible to transport the nacelle in forward and backwards facing position.

7.3 Maximum accelerations


The transport frames of the component are designed for the transport on sea and road. They
are calculated according to EN 12195-1 and IMO CSS Code.

The maximum accelerations the frame and component are allowed to experience during road
transport are:

ax = +0.5g
ax = -0.8g
ay = ±0.5g
az = -1.0g

8.1 Requirements
 The transported components must never touch the vessel surface directly.

 The lashing elements must not touch/damage the component at any time.

 The nacelle cannot be transported on deck; so, underdeck shipment is totally compulsory.

frame and the vessel surface in the positions indicated below. The anti-slip mats must be of
a quality and design that ensures that they do not lose their properties during the entire

8.4 Inland waterway


The DNVGL-ST-N001 rules for inland and sheltered water voyages recommend to lash for a 0.1g
(or 1/10 of the weight) in longitudinal and transversal directions.

Using only anti-slip mats, is not sufficient to prevent the impact of a possible collision of the
barge with a lock.

In addition to the anti-slip mats, Nordex therefore also requires the fitting of a total of at least
2 chains against longitudinal and transverse acceleration.

The arrangement of the chains is shown in the previous pictures.
