HOISTING DEVICE

摘要

Hoisting device (1) for use at a wind turbine (50), in particular for use in a wind turbine nacelle (54), comprising a reel (49, a drive motor (12), control means (14) and a hoisting line (6). The hoisting line is a rope (6), which comprises synthetic fibre material. The hoisting device can be provided in a compact form, since the synthetic rope used as a hoisting line is characterized in having a high tensile strength and a low weight, whereby a rope having a comparable low weight can be used for lifting the same load, for which traditionally a steel wire having a relatively large weight has been used. Further, since the weight of the rope itself is relatively small, a drive motor (12), gear etc. having reduced capacity, power etc., can be used as compared to a traditional hoist, thereby also aiding in reducing the size, weight, complexity, cost etc. of the hoisting device.
