BLADE CART FOR A WIND TURBINE BLADE

摘要

A blade cart for a wind turbine blade for use during the manufacturing of such a blade is described. The cart presents an adjustable and adaptable support for the tip end of a blade after the blade is removed from the mould. The cart is rotatable, and comprises selectively actuatable and/or removable support surfaces to provided easy access to the surfaces of the moulded blade for the performance of post-moulding operations, e.g. blade surface grinding, coating, etc.
