A wind turbine manufacturer was having problems with wind turbine blades that were not effectively affixed during transport to the installation site. Inadequate transport protection increased the risk of damage and wear, as well as delays in wind turbine installation. 

With the aim of reducing the risk of damage to wind turbine blades, the manufacturer contacted DAFA to find a solution that could affix elements during transport in all weather conditions. In response, we developed an easy-to-install high-friction mat made of solid EPDM and steel, which is attached to the steel cradle mechanically and not using glue.

The solution is ideal for effectively and easily affixing heavy elements during a range of transportation tasks, and can be easily modified to suit the specific application. Protection for heavy and valuable elements should always be as good as possible. DAFA Modular Transport Pad provides a simple, flexible, and strong safety solution.  

DAFA Modular Transport Pad resists movement and sliding of the element on surfaces during transport. The material ensures that color does not rub off and will not scratch the element. Overall, the mat provides safer transport without wear on the element, less damage costs, and faster installation for the manufacturer.
