Methods for positioning a large load into a transport position and for positioning a large load into a storage position, trailer and/or lorry

Abstract

A method for positioning a large load into a transport position is provided. According to the method, the load is placed upon a frame structure with a substantially horizontal extension. The raising device is placed transport plane underneath the frame structure. The raising device is then extended in a vertical extension reaching between the transport plane and the frame structure so that the frame structure and the load are raised above the transport plane and are held in position by the raising device. Subsequently, the vertical extension of the raising device is decreased into the transport position. Further, a method for positioning a large load into a storage position and a transport system for such methods are also provided.

1 . A transport system, comprising:
 a transport plane; and   a raising device mounted in a position on the transport plane, wherein the raising device in said position on the transport plane is extendable in a vertical extension, allowing a load to be raised and held in position.   
     
     
         2 . The transport system according to  claim 1 , wherein the raising device comprises a raising frame with at least one longitudinal beam and at least one cross beam, and a plurality of beams extendable in length perpendicular to transport plane. 
     
     
         3 . The transport system according to  claim 2 , wherein the plurality of beams that are extendable in length comprise hydraulic beams. 
     
     
         4 . The transport system according to  claim 1 , wherein the transport system further comprises one or more transport vehicles on which the transport plane is disposed. 
     
     
         5 . The transport system according to  claim 4 , wherein the transport plane is divided into at least a first plane part and a second plane part coupled to each other, the first plane part disposed on a first transport vehicle and the second plane part disposed on a second transport vehicle. 
     
     
         6 . The transport system according to  claim 4 , wherein each of the one or more transport vehicles is a lorry or a trailer. 
     
     
         7 . The transport system according to  claim 1 , wherein the raising device comprises a plurality of extendable hydraulic beams orientated vertically. 
     
     
         8 . The transport system according to  claim 1 , wherein the raising device is equipped with rollers at least at one side, for transportation of the raising device. 
     
     
         9 . The transport system according to  claim 1 , wherein the load comprises a nacelle of a wind turbine. 
     
     
         10 . A transport system, comprising:
 a transport plane having a first plane part and a second plane part; and   a raising device mounted in a position on the transport plane,   wherein the raising device in said position on the transport plane is extendable in a vertical extension, allowing a load to be raised and held in position,   wherein at least a portion of the raising device is carried on each of the first and second transport plane parts, and   wherein at least a portion of the load is carried on the frame structure by each of the first and second transport plane parts.   
     
     
         11 . The transport system according to  claim 10 , wherein the raising device comprises a raising frame with at least one longitudinal beam and at least one cross beam, and a plurality of beams extendable in length perpendicular to transport plane. 
     
     
         12 . The transport system according to  claim 11 , wherein the plurality of beams that are extendable in length comprise hydraulic beams. 
     
     
         13 . The transport system according to  claim 10 , wherein the transport system further comprises one or more transport vehicles on which the transport plane is disposed. 
     
     
         14 . The transport system according to  claim 13 , wherein the first plane part and the second plane part coupled to each other, the first plane part disposed on a first transport vehicle and the second plane part disposed on a second transport vehicle. 
     
     
         15 . The transport system according to  claim 13 , wherein each of the one or more transport vehicles is a lorry or a trailer. 
     
     
         16 . The transport system according to  claim 10 , wherein the raising device comprises a plurality of extendable hydraulic beams orientated vertically. 
     
     
         17 . The transport system according to  claim 10 , wherein the raising device is equipped with rollers at least at one side, for transportation of the raising device. 
     
     
         18 . The transport system according to  claim 10 , wherein the load comprises a nacelle of a wind turbine.
