"I couldn't wait to share this experience! This advanced lift training module is your entry level key to understanding and being able to commission, install, inspect, and do basic maintenance tasks on wind turbine lifts.

As SP-Wind always has Health and Safety as a primary value, in this module we pay extra attention to things such as human factors, hazardous energy and work areas in the WTG.

During the training we covered various lifts throughout the wind industry such as ZARGES, Power Climber Wind, 3S Lift, Avanti Wind Systems and Hailo with a focus to always reference manuals & guides and local as well as national legislation. It is important that participants can identify any component from any manufacturer in the manuals and guides.

This training reveals that daily checklist are crucial and incorrect installation and commissioning could lead to a possible fatality!

Inspections of anchor points, ropes and guard locking control systems, as well as being able to do visual inspections of the status on operating hour counter of the hoist are crucial." - Jayne van der Nest, Business Development, Gear & Training - SP-Wind

With a background packed full of experience, the instructor was able to reference detailed questions that ensured we understand the importance and operation of the components at hand. I enjoyed the group activities and participation with everyone contributing from their experience.
