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 rotor hub of 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 person 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.
9/46
2008471EN
Rev. 9 / 2021-07-15
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 rotor hub 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 rotor hub using two cranes
 Two cranes must be synchronized by electronic synchronization system to the rotor
hub’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.

3.4 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.

DANGER
Severe injuries due to falling
 When working on the rotor hub, use the PPE in accordance with country-
specific regulations and secure to the PAPs.

DANGER
Risk of injury from falling rotor hub
Improper use of the crane's double hook can cause the hook to break.
 For the particular case of cranes with double hook, it is NOT allowed
connecting the polyester slings directly to the hooks.
 An intermediate element that ensures that the polyester slings rest correctly
on the same point should be included. Take into account that the whole set
must support a min. WLL: 70 t. Find below an example (see Figure 8):
Figure 8: Double-hook with (left) and without (right) intermediate element

3.5.1 General considerations

• The bed minimum width must be 2,500 mm.
• The rotor hub 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.

3.5.3 Maximum accelerations

The transport frame of the component is 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

3.6.2 Rotor hub’s position on the vessel

The rotor hub can be stowed in the following two options:
Figure 22: Rotor hub's position on the vessel

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 sea
transport are:
ax = ± 2.0 m/s2
ay = ± 6.2 m/s2
az = ± 9.2 m/s2
Figure 23: Maximum accelerations allowed during sea transport
3.6.4 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.

Position the blade bearing without the pitch plate steps perpendicular to the truck bed and in
the rear side.

The transport frame of the component is 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

4.6 Sea transport
4.6.1 Requirements
• The transported components must never touch the vessel surface directly.
• The rotor hub can be transported on deck and underdeck
frame and the vessel surface. The anti-slip mats must be of a quality and design that
ensures that they do not lose their properties during the entire journey.
4.6.2 Rotor hub’s position on the vessel

The rotor hub can be stowed in the following four options:
Figure 43: N155 rotor hub's position on the vessel (transport direction marked with arrow)

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 sea
transport are:
ax = ± 0.8g
ay = ± 0.8g
az = ± 1g

4.6.4 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.
4.6.5 Lashing

Install 12 female swivel eyebolts M27 (select one of the table) in blade bearing joining studs to
use as lashing points:
