Combilift’s Legacy in Wind Energy: Engineering Solutions for a Sustainable Future

Since then, its expertise has expanded rapidly, supporting both onshore and offshore wind industries with a range of bespoke handling solutions. From factories to storage, quaysides, and pre-assembly sites, Combilift’s engineering team has worked closely with valued clients such as Nordex, Vestas, TPI, and Siemens Gamesa to refine logistics and material handling at every stage of the supply chain.

Collaboration and Innovation at the Core

What sets Combilift apart is not just its already extensive innovative product range, but its ability to collaborate with clients to engineer tailored solutions where the current market falls short. Every challenge presents an opportunity to develop, refine, or upgrade handling equipment to meet the evolving needs of the wind sector. Whether optimising equipment for new blade generations or refurbishing existing units for extended life cycles, the company’s focus remains on delivering efficient, safe and sustainable solutions.

The Blade’s Journey into the Global Market

As wind turbine blades continue to grow in size and complexity, the logistics of their transportation and handling have become increasingly demanding. Combilift has played a crucial role in ensuring these massive structures can be moved safely and efficiently from the initial manufacturing stage to storage yards, through transportation to quaysides, and ultimately onto ships bound for pre-assembly sites.

Since its launch in September 2023, Combilift’s COMBi-BLADE has proven to be the leading choice of load carriers in the offshore wind sector. With multiple units successfully deployed in facilities across Denmark, Taiwan, the UK, and France, they are capable of handling:

• Payloads up to 150 tonnes

• Blade lengths exceeding 120 metres

• Various product dimensions with seamless adaptability

Sustainable Equipment Upgrades: Extending Product Life Cycles

As turbine technology advances, Combilift plays a crucial role in upgrading existing handling equipment, ensuring it remains fit for purpose in managing next-generation blades and components. Extending the life cycle of machinery is not only cost-effective for clients but also contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing waste and resource consumption.

A Proven Track Record in Wind Energy Logistics

With over a decade of experience in the sector, Combilift’s impact spans multiple applications, including:

• Mobile Gantries and Straddle Carriers for large component and tower handling

• VNA Forklifts (Aisle-Master) for efficient high-density storage solutions

• Multi-Directional Forklifts for long-load transportation with narrow aisle storage

• Load carrier and Tug solutions for turbine blades

By integrating its knowledge with client expertise, Combilift continues to drive advancements in wind energy logistics, reinforcing its position as a trusted partner in the sector.

Looking Ahead

Combilift remains committed to innovating alongside its partners, ensuring that its equipment solutions evolve in line with industry demands. As the wind sector expands, so too will its ability to deliver advanced, adaptable, and sustainable solutions that meet the challenges of tomorrow.
