Moving wind turbine components safely to their destination

Ahola Special has been transporting wind turbine components manufactured by Nordex since 2020. The co-operation has grown into a strong partnership of experts.

 

The rise of wind power in the Nordic countries has increased the need for transports of large and heavy components. Nordex is one of the world’s leading wind turbine manufacturers, and its projects require logistics solutions that meet stringent safety and scheduling requirements.

 

Ahola Special provides comprehensive special transport solutions that combine technical expertise, flexibility and proactive planning. We trans – port Nordex components especially in Sweden, but our operations also cover other market areas.

 

Thorough planning guarantees successful transports

 

Transporting wind power components requires careful planning and co-operation with several actors. Comprehensive route surveys using drones are conducted in order to create 3D models of the driving routes. The models are used to ensure the condition of the roads and to optimize the routing of heavy trucks so that trans – ports can be carried out safely and environmentally efficiently.

 

Wind power components can be over 80 meters long and weigh over 100 tons. Ahola Special uses a wide range of special equipment, such as wind blade trailers and wind tower adapters.

 

Last year, we had 12 vehicles in continuous use for Nordex deliveries. Our efforts were rewarded, as we received an award from Nordex in recognition of our excellent performance.

 

 

Partnership based on trust and development

 

Our co-operation is based on open dialogue and long-term development. Ahola Special is not only Nordex’s logistics partner, but also a strategic ad – visor who brings new solutions to logistics challenges and ensures safe and on-time deliveries.

 

– Ahola Special’s strength lies in its ability to provide comprehensive solutions and technical expertise, says Nordex’s Global Sourcing Manager, Thomas Strasser.

 

Future prospects

 

The co-operation between Ahola Special and Nordex is expected to expand in the coming years as Nordex’s projects grow and the needs of the wind power industry change. Ahola Special’s goal is to remain at the fore – front of the development and offer increasingly comprehensive services to its customers.

 

– Future development requires both efficient transport solutions and pioneering technology. Ahola Special is committed to evolving along with its customers and offering solutions that make even the most demanding projects possible, Strasser sums up.

 

The partnership between Ahola Special and Nordex proves that special transports can involve much more than simply moving something from one place to another – they are an essential part of the wind power sector’s development and future energy solutions.
