DISTINTIVE LANDMARKS
Back in the 1200s a castle surrounded by a moat was built in what today is the village Kurzen Trechow in the municipality Bernitt, about 40 km southwest of the German port city of Rostock. For centuries, the area was known primarily for this castle, but most recently new, distinctive landmarks have been raised in the form of so far four wind turbines.
Similar to a very large number of other wind turbines in Germany, these four have been established with the help of BMS Krane, the German part of the BMS Group. While most of BMS’ other wind turbine jobs in Germany have involved relatively few lifts per turbine, the approach in this case has been slightly different.

While most of BMS’ other wind turbine jobs in Germany have involved relatively few lifts per turbine, the approach in this case has been slightly different.
Here the manufacturer provided the nacelle as four parts to be assembled on the ground before lifting. In addition, the towers were constructed in an alternative manner, thus a few more lift per turbine.
The raising of the four wind turbines in Kurzen Treschow and Bernitt was performed using a Liebherr LR 1600 crawler crane and a Liebherr LTM 1200 mobile crane. The LR 1600 is a 600 ton lattice boom crane, a type typically used when a regular telescopic boom crane does not have the necessary lifting capacity. As for the LTM 1200, it is a 200 ton telescopic boom crane.
