Chain hoists with 110 m height of lift for wind power stations


 

Germany is Europe’s forerunner as regards wind energy – at the end of 2002, 12,800 wind turbines with a total output of 10,650 MW were turning between the North Sea coast and the fringe of the Alps. According to the BWE (Federal Wind Energy Association), this output is to rise to 22,500 MW by 2010.
