A METHOD FOR TRANSPORTING A SET OF LARGE LONGITUDINAL ITEMS, A PACKAGE SYSTEM TO BE USED BY THE METHOD AND USE OF SUCH A PACKAGE SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a transportation method and a package system for transporting a set of large longitudinal items such as blades for a wind turbine ( 1 ) or a tower for a wind turbine. Taking wind turbine blades ( 1 ) as an example, the advantages of the invention reside in packaging a tip ( 3 ) of one blade and a base ( 2 ) of a second blade in the one and same package ( 5 ) such that two blades ( 1 ) may be transported in packages ( 5, 16 ) having an overall lateral extension, approximately the same as the base of only one blade ( 1 ) for the wind turbine. Thereby a very compact but also a very easy means of transportation of large longitudinal items such as wind turbine blades ( 1 ) is provided.
