System, device and method for lifting and controlling the horizontal orientation and/or position of components

Abstract

The system () for lifting and controlling the horizontal orientation and/or position of components (), such as wind turbine main components, during installation and/or dismounting of said components comprises: a crane boom arrangement () and one or more lifting lines () guided by said crane boom arrangement () for lifting said components. The system moreover comprises a lifting device () comprising a crane connection arrangement () connected to said one or more lifting lines (), a frame arrangement () connected to said crane connection arrangement (), a first and a second steering wire guide () configured for guiding steering wires (), and a component connection arrangement () connected to said frame arrangement and configured to be connected directly or indirectly to the component to be lifted. The system () further comprises a guiding arrangement () connected to said crane boom arrangement (), and said steering wires () are connected to said guiding arrangement () and extend from the guiding arrangement () in a direction towards the lifting device () with a mutual angle (a) between the steering wires (). A relative displacement between said frame arrangement () and one or both of the first and second steering wire guides () is configured to be provided to control the mutual angle (a) between the steering wires ().
