Renewable Energy

At a Glance

The renewable energy sector—spanning wind, solar, and hydroelectric infrastructure—has become one of the fastest-growing industrial markets worldwide, with annual global capacity additions exceeding 500 GW and continuing double-digit growth. Building this infrastructure demands the movement, positioning, and securement of exceptionally heavy and awkwardly shaped components: wind turbine nacelles weighing 60–100 tons, blades exceeding 80 meters in length, transformer stations, and stacked solar module pallets. For these operations, certified lifting and load-securement equipment is not optional—it is the backbone of safe, compliant, and efficient project execution across manufacturing, transport, and on-site assembly.

Performance Data

Renewable energy lifting and rigging operations carry high consequences for failure, so buyers must specify equipment against verifiable performance criteria rather than generic ratings. The following requirements represent the baseline for wholesale procurement in this sector:

• Working Load Limit (WLL): Round slings and lifting slings must carry clearly rated WLLs from 1 ton up to 20+ tons in a straight vertical lift, with de-rating factors applied for choke (0.8×) and basket (1.4× to 2×) configurations.
• Safety Factor: Polyester lifting slings should be manufactured to a minimum 7:1 safety factor (breaking strength to WLL), the global standard for synthetic slings; a 2-ton WLL sling therefore carries a minimum breaking strength of 14 tons.
• Breaking Strength: Verified minimum breaking strength must be documented per batch—e.g., ≥14,000 kg for a 2-ton unit and ≥7,000 kg for a 1-ton unit—with pull-test certificates available on request.
• Governing Standards: Load-securement and lifting products should conform to EN 1492-2 (polyester round slings), EN 12195-2 (web lashing straps for cargo securement), ASME B30.9 (slings), DOT / FMCSA cargo securement rules for road transport, and ASTM material specifications where applicable.
• Temperature Range: Polyester construction maintains rated performance across an operating range of −40°C to +100°C, suitable for cold-climate wind sites and hot desert solar installations alike.
• Elongation: Polyester slings exhibit low elongation of approximately ≤3% at WLL, critical for controlled, stable lifts of high-value turbine components.
• Color-Coded WLL System: Round slings follow the internationally recognized color code (e.g., violet = 1 ton, green = 2 ton, yellow = 3 ton, grey = 4 ton, red = 5 ton) for instant, error-free identification on busy job sites.
• Abrasion & UV Resistance: Outer sleeves and protective sheathing should resist UV degradation and abrasion for extended outdoor service life at remote installation sites.

Recommended Solutions

TrustWebbing supplies a coordinated range of certified products engineered for the load profiles typical of renewable energy projects. Each solution is matched to a specific stage of the lifting, transport, and securement workflow.

• Lifting Slings & Webbing: As a core category for renewable energy work, our Lifting Slings & Webbing line delivers certified flat and round slings for hoisting turbine sections, gearboxes, and pre-assembled solar racking, with rated capacities and full traceability documentation.
• Woven Polyester Lifting Sling: The Woven Polyester Lifting Sling offers a flat, wide bearing surface that distributes load pressure across delicate painted or coated surfaces such as nacelle housings and transformer casings, minimizing point stress during the lift.
• 2 Ton Lifting Sling - Heavy Duty Polyester Round Sling: The 2 Ton Lifting Sling - Heavy Duty Polyester Round Sling provides an endless-loop construction with a protective outer sleeve and a 7:1 safety factor, ideal for repeated choke and basket lifts of medium-weight components where flexibility and durability are essential.
• Ratchet Straps: For the transport and securement stage, our Ratchet Straps category anchors blades, tower segments, and palletized modules to trailers and flat racks in compliance with EN 12195-2 and DOT lashing requirements, ensuring loads arrive on-site undamaged.

Where It's Used

Renewable energy infrastructure touches multiple heavy-industry disciplines, and TrustWebbing products support each phase from factory to final assembly. Key use cases include:

• Lifting & Rigging of Wind Turbine Components: Hoisting nacelles, hubs, gearboxes, and blade sections during crane assembly, where the Woven Polyester Lifting Sling and round slings provide surface-safe, high-capacity handling within the Lifting & Rigging discipline.
• Solar Farm Construction & Infrastructure: Moving and positioning stacked PV module pallets, mounting frames, and inverter cabinets across large ground-mount sites, supporting broader Construction & Infrastructure workflows.
• Transformer and Substation Installation: Basket-lifting heavy electrical equipment into position using color-coded round slings that de-rate predictably for multi-leg configurations.
• Transport & Cargo Securement: Lashing turbine towers, blades, and oversized loads to specialized trailers with Ratchet Straps rated to EN 12195-2 for road, rail, and intermodal shipment.
• Hydroelectric & Foundation Work: Rigging penstock sections, gate assemblies, and pre-cast concrete foundations during civil construction phases where the 2 Ton Lifting Sling - Heavy Duty Polyester Round Sling handles repeated cycle lifts.
• On-Site Maintenance & Component Replacement: Field servicing of turbines and swapping gearboxes or generators, where portable, color-coded slings enable fast, compliant rigging in remote conditions.
