A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSPORTING A WIND TURBINE COMPONENT

摘要

A system for transporting a wind turbine component generally comprises first and second railcars, a first support member configured to support a first portion of the wind turbine component on the first railcar, and a second support member configured to support a second portion of the wind turbine component on the second railcar. The first support member is rotatably and slidingly coupled to the first railcar so that it is rotatable relative to the first railcar about a vertical axis and slidable along a length of the first railcar. The second support member is rotatably coupled to the second railcar so that it is rotatable relative to the second railcar about a vertical axis. A corresponding method is also disclosed.
