Abstract

Self-hoisting crane () and method of mounting and operating such crane The self-hoisting crane is adapted to be hoisted from ground to a nacelle () or a tower () of a wind turbine () by operation of a cable winch () arranged at ground () and is adapted to be operated in its mounted position on the nacelle or on the tower by operation of the same cable winch. The cable extends from a hook block (), out through a pedestal () of the crane, from the nacelle or from the tower and to the cable winch at the ground. The self-hoisting crane is provided with a cable crawler () having at least one motor driven traction sheave () adapted to, during operation of the self-hoisting crane, transfer a pulling force to the cable () through friction. The cable crawler is shiftable between an active state () in which the traction sheave may transfer a pulling force to the cable and a passive state in which the traction sheave may transfer no pulling force to the cable.
