Custom Design & Engineering of Turbine Blade Spreader Bar Used in the Power Generation Industry
Triumph Engineering Group Inc. designed & engineered this featured turbine blade spreader for lifting wind turbine blade assemblies. The design and mechanical engineering process consisted of many stages, during which we designed fixtures, selected and purchased material, and conducted finite element analysis (FEA) and stress analysis. We also determined the welding specifications, and provided manufacturing documents including CAD drawings and analysis reports in our client’s format.
The spreader bar was designed to be disassembled for easy shipping. Ultimately, the bar was used to move turbine blades from transportation vehicles to a staging area at a wind farm. Manufactured from carbon steel, high-strength steel, and stainless steel, the bar included weldments and bolted joints, and measured 88.5 feet long with seven sections of 16-inch square tubing. The turbine blades the bar was used to lift measured 140 feet long and weighed 18,000 pounds.
