Provided is a method for transporting a component of a wind turbine to a storing position, wherein the component is mounted on a transport frame, including providing a transport arrangement including at least two elongate, height-adjustable, self-propelled transporter units, positioning the transport frame with the component mounted thereon onto the transport arrangement such that the self-propelled transporter units are spaced apart by a predefined lateral distance from each other, using the transport arrangement, rolling the component to a storing position where at least one support device has been positioned, such that at least a part of the at least one support device is located between a pair of the self-propelled transporter units, lowering the self-propelled transporter units such that the transport frame comes to rest on the at least one support device, and removing the transport arrangement from under the supported transport frame.

Methods and system for transporting a component of a wind turbine

Provided is a support structure for a wind turbine blade and a method for manufacturing a support structure for a wind turbine blade The support structure includes a frame structure including a first section and a second section which are spaced apart with respect to each other along a first direction such that a section of a wind turbine blade is arrangeable in-between the first section and the second section. The support structure further includes two seesaw elements being pivotably fixed to a respective section and having a respective pivoting axis parallel to the first direction and four belt elements being fixed with their respective first end to a respective end of the respective seesaw element Furthermore, a respective second end of the respective belt element are each fixed to the respective other section of the frame structure.
