With a 250-lb capacity and optional chain or electric hoist, the nacelle davit improves technician safety and productivity.

Power Climber Wind, a division of SafeWorks, LLC, has provided over 1,000 nacelle davits to 18 different wind plants across North America.

In an effort to reduce potential technician fatigue and injury from manually carrying tools from the wind turbines’ yaw deck to the nacelle, a top customer and leader in wind power sustainability reached out to Power Climber Wind in search of a solution. The two engineering teams collaborated to design and build the nacelle davit. With a 250-lb capacity and optional chain or electric hoist, the nacelle davit improves technician safety and productivity. It complies with federal, local and state material handling codes, has the ability to retrofit to any 1.5 MW gearbox, and installs in just under an hour.

“Our engineering and manufacturing process lets us collaborate with customers to develop safe solutions that effectively meet their unique needs,” says Mike Russell, Power Climber Wind’s National Sales Director. “The nacelle davit that we customized specifically for these 1.5 MW turbines has provided a safer material transfer solution, increasing the customer’s overall productivity.”
