Wind blade transport system | DOLL Fahrzeugbau GmbH

The DOLL^® wind blade transport system

The process of transporting wind turbine components is just as impressive as the turbines themselves. Getting giant wind blades around tight bends takes real specialists with exceptional equipment. It is for precisely this reason that we have deployed the over 120 years of experience we have in self steering jeep dolly trailer technology to develop the DOLL^® wind blade transport system. A system that meets the highest quality standards and is able to adapt to the future of the wind energy sector and the transportation challenges you are set to face. And even more importantly: a system that is compatible with wind blades made by any manufacturer, without the need for adjustments. Big-name transport companies throughout Europe are already using this technology of tomorrow – today. When will you choose the DOLL^® wind blade transport system?

First successful test loading of the prototype wind blade Enercon E-175 EP5 carried out by DOLL^®

The rotor blade of the E-175 EP5 turbine is the longest that ENERCON has ever developed and produced. DOLL^® was the first manufacturer of wind blade transportation systems to successfully carry out the transportation of the new ENERCON wind blade.

Successful test run at Vestas

DOLL^® wind blade transport system proves itself during test loading and test run and is officially certified by Vestas.

Facts + components

self steering jeep dolly trailers with 4 and 5 axles, can be extended with a 2 axle jeep dolly
Compatible with trucks from any manufacturer
Bolted rocker bearing with individual adjustment of the swivel radius
Hose package is stowed on the lifting adapter to save space when running empty
A high-quality coating of your choice: two-layer paint finish or spray galvanising
Lowest loading height of the trailer on the market
No additional adaptations necessary: Modular design of the interface on the lifting adapter facilitates installation of the wind blade
User-friendly attachment of the power unit: The unit is mounted transversely on the lifting adapter so that there is maximum space when the wind blade is rotated through

Perfectly linked with DOLL^® Powerboost

Convenient, time-saving and secure wiring along the side of the wind blade protects the load from damage caused by vibrations of the wire rope.

Low wear and tear when travelling empty

Driving as a drawbar trailer saves time, money and reduces your fuel consumption. In addition, empty driving is possible without a separate special permit. Coupling is simple and efficient, even on uneven ground.

Field-tested self steering jeep dolly trailer technology

A rotating attachment and variable overhangs give your trailer almost unlimited maneuverability. Even driving offset to the side (known as “crab steering”) is possible.

Manual oversteering

And if things do get tight? Then simply steer with the radio remote control at any time. You can also raise and lower the lifting adapter by remote control and rest it on the jeep dolly when driving empty.

Option: Jeep jeep dolly

This equips your system optimally for the future – and for even heavier blades. The lifting adapter is mounted directly on the jeep dolly.

Smart battery charging system

The smart charging system with display via the app ensures that the battery in the trailer is charged and maintains the voltage. This means that the trailer remains operable and controllable even in emergency situations.

Unmatched low loading height

The trailer offers the lowest loading height of any transport system on the market.In combination with the low pendulum frame, you can make your wind blade transport easier and more efficient.

Easier operation and more convenience

The adapted positioning of the hydraulic levers on the lifting adapter makes operation easier and creates an ergonomic advantage compared to the previous model. All operating elements are only one arm's length away.
