WIND POWER EQUIPMENT TRANSPORTATION
serviceINFINITY’s heavy lifting and transport expertise optimize wind and renewables projects, bringing deadlines forward and reducing the cost per megawatt.
Introduction
As the wind industry matures and increases in scale in Vietnam, Infinity’s heavy lift and transport services ensure wind farm construction is efficient, safe, and on-schedule. A wind tower is constructed of many components, of which main components are blades, tower parts, nacelle, and hub. The blade is the longest component and the nacelle is the heaviest.

In the prospect of transporting and supplying logistics services for wind power industry, INFINITY provides full services from designing tailor-made transportation solutions to actually delivering each component of wind towers to each tower position.
Diversified sizes of wind turbine components make it quite challenging for transportation, especially to some limit of transport infrastructure and difficult terrain as in Vietnam. Some wind power projects even locate at places where local infrastructure may not accommodate such heavy and long components. To solve the issues, INFINITY has equipped ourselves with special transport equipment such as modular trailers or blade adapter trailers for specially and successfully handling these jobs. Moreover, when it happens to limit local infrastructure, we need to work with authorities to help the contractor making smooth logistics routes.
Although the industry is quite many years ahead in the world, it has just been concentrated in a few years in Vietnam lately. And the industry will surely bloom in Vietnam in the very near future due to the government’s policy has been loosened, making way for it to attract investors and grow. Catching that trend, Infinity has invested in specialized equipment and experienced professionals and during that time, we have been sub-contractor for the transportation of a few wind farm projects in Vietnam, which brought us many experiences and strong ability in transporting for both onshore, nearshore, and offshore wind farm.
TRANSPORTATION EQUIPMENT
To transport equipment for wind power plants, specialized transportation equipment is needed.
Road transportation equipment includes:
- Specialized tractors with a pulling capacity of over 250 tons from powerful brands: MAN, SHACMAN, HYUNDAI
- Specialized extendable trailers for transporting wind turbine blades by Goldhofer
- Other specialized equipment for transporting oversized and overweight cargo
- 72-axle Goldhofer hydraulic modules
- Low-bed trailers, high-bed trailers, specialized extendable trailers
- 10-axle hydraulic modules
Sea transportation equipment includes:
- Specialized barges with a capacity of over 4000 tons
- Specialized barges with a capacity of over 7000 tons
As wind power energy is a very special and unique industry, which has many of its own practicalities, we have to build up each very own solution to every project to minimize cost as well as safely transporting all components to site on time. It involves investigating, calculating, working with authorities, custom clearance, heavy lifting, trucking, supervising, and operating. INFINITY believes that with our certified ISO 9001:2015 for the wind turbine transportation field granted by one of the most famous accreditation boards in the world as ANAB, we will be a reliable and capable partner in the field.
