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.

2 Safety
Safety regulation E0004553222, Delta4000 safety manual
These documents contain all important general instructions, information and notes that are
required for safe and risk-free work on the WT.
Before starting any work, a responsible person must instruct all persons involved in the
safety regulations mentioned in the documents.
Make sure that the responsible person enforces compliance with the safety regulations.
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.
Classification: Internal Purpose
Doc.: ITM4014
TRANSPORT AND HANDLING INSTRUCTION
Rev.: H
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.
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.

6 Cargo handling
The stowage/cargo plan must be used to check whether the cargo can be fitted in the intended
position and whether the cranes can reach this position without touching other objects . Care
must be taken to ensure that the required distances between the load and other objects meet
the required safety distances.

7 Road transport
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
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.
Anti-slip mats (minimum coefficient of friction: 0.6) must be placed between the transport
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
journey.

The maximum accelerations the frame and component are allowed to experience during sea
transport are:
ax = ± 2.0 m/s2
ay = ± 6.9 m/s2
az = ± 9.2 m/s2
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.
