As wind turbines grow larger and more powerful, maintenance becomes increasingly challenging. The ‘Jack-up on Jack-up’ design is built to handle even the largest turbines, up to 20 megawatts (MW).

A debate over whether it is best to harness wind energy with horizontal-axis devices or vertical-axis devices has raged for thousands of years. Even how the technologies evolved is under some dispute.

The ideal maintenance jack-up has a small deck, is cost-effective and quick to mobilize, has a limited lifting capacity (up to 500-600mt) and a lifting height of over 160m. The Huisman ‘Foldable ...
