Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In order to increase safety, flexibility and simplicity when handling a wind turbine nacelle compared to known solutions and devices, there is disclosed a wind turbine nacelle including a supporting structure, a nacelle housing and a plurality of handling devices to be used when handling the wind turbine nacelle. The four handling devices are connected to the supporting structure, and each of the handling devices includes an integrated moveable part. The integrated moveable part is moveable between a first position and a second position, and the integrated moveable part is inside or is flush with the nacelle housing in the first position and is extending out of the nacelle housing in the second position.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A wind turbine nacelle comprising: a supporting structure, a nacelle housing, a plurality of handling devices each connected to the supporting structure and adapted to support the wind turbine nacelle during handling, wherein each of the plurality of handling devices comprises an integrated moveable part moveable between a first position where the integrated moveable part is entirely inside the nacelle housing or is flush with the nacelle housing s…
