Covers protect tower sections in transit

By KRemington | July 21, 2010

The wind tower section is protected with a shrinkable, three-layer fabric from Transfield Inc.

Custom fit covers for wind tower sections are available as an alternative to heavy and expensive custom tarps or conventional hand wrapping.  These covers protect the tower sections from dirt and water during shipping.  Various openings are allowed for different trailer configurations.

The covers are made from Shrinkable Fabric and consist of three layers: a UV-resistant and anti-condensation outer layer, a middle adhesive layer, and a soft inner layer. Covers are easy to install and the added ability to shrink the cover allows for a tight fit, resulting in protection from the factory to the field.
