90 meters up, safely holding a 127-meter rotor steadily against the sky.

This is RotorHook™, a LiftWerx up-tower crane system, doing what a full-size crawler crane would normally need a huge footprint (and budget) to do.

Big lift, small footprint. Up-tower lifting solutions like this cut cost, schedule, and site impact for our wind clients. That's what raising the bar looks like.

Historically, our company was mainly focused on changing wind turbine gearboxes. Today, with a total of twelve teams across North America, our repairs have become far more diverse. Let's just say that we're not just a gearbox exchange company anymore.

We focus on the most complex wind turbine repairs, in order that we provide the highest value to our customers.

Here in 2026, we exchange far more pitch bearings than gearboxes, most of them on wind turbines in the 2MW to 3MW range. On most projects, we utilize our RotorHook™ up-tower cranes to carefully lower each fully-assembled rotor from the nacelle, so that the blades can be removed and pitch bearings can easily be exchanged at ground level, and avoiding delays caused by higher winds at hub height.

We also exchange main bearings, blades, and generators.

And we still exchange plenty of gearboxes, of course.

We don't need a main lift crane.

We don't need a tailing crane.

We don't require road permits, civil work, or matting on the ground.

We enjoy total stability, with no risk of ground failure. And on this type of operation, we don't need to worry about the risk of cranes tipping over.

We focus on performing high-quality wind turbine repairs in the safest, smartest, and most efficient ways. And at the same time, we're minimizing the amount of equipment, our carbon footprint, our mobilization cost, and the disruption to landowners' valuable property.

As wind turbines grow in size, height, and complexity, this is the way of the future.

And we're proud to lead the way.

One Lift at a Time.

Every month, LiftWerx performs approximately 4,000 lifts on wind turbines across North America.

Some are small. Some are massive.

But every lift has something in common: there is no such thing as an ordinary lift when the operations are mission-critical.

Behind every successful lift is engineering, planning, standardized processes, rigorous quality control, and—most importantly—a relentless commitment to safety.

Because ultimately, we’re not just exchanging major components.

We’re bringing turbines back online. We’re protecting our customers’ assets. And we’re keeping renewable energy moving.

4,000 lifts a month.
One lift at a time.
Laser-focused on ex*****on.

We'd like to give kudos to our newest large corrective team, Team 771. This exciting new team, comprised of LiftWerx professionals, just performed their very first large corrective exchange at a wind farm in the USA.

This is a gearbox exchange on a GE2.3-116 wind turbine, performed with a brand new GenHook™ up-tower crane system.

Congratulations, guys! We are proud of you.

Our customers' needs are very straightforward. They need their wind turbines to be repaired with high safety and quality, and they want it done as soon as possible, in order to minimize downtime. It's really that simple.

Our customers don't request large cranes. They just want their turbines fixed. That's why we always endeavour to perform large corrective repairs in such a way to minimize the size of the cranes. In terms of efficiency and cost-effectiveness, it just makes sense.

During this project, which we are currently performing in the midwest USA, we are replacing the pitch bearings on GE2.8-127 wind turbines. We're using an LTM1450 to handle the tips of the blades, and the roots of the blades are gently lifted by a tiny GenHook™ LT crane. In this way, we're performing a complex repair while also minimizing the amount of equipment.

And at the same time, we're minimizing our footprint on the ground, so that this healthy corn crop can be harvested in the fall.

Around the world, billions of people are aware of the Parthenon, the famous ancient Greek temple in the city of Athens, Greece, built around 2,500 years ago to honor the Greek goddess Athena. But did you know that there is a replica of the Parthenon in Nashville, Tennessee?

Three years ago, the LiftWerx Flag of Adventure visited the Ancient Greek Parthenon at the Acropolis. But this week, the LiftWerx Flag of Adventure was also raised at America's replica Parthenon. Proudly bearing the Flag is Steven Armstrong, who is a computer engineer and virtual-reality software developer at LiftWerx.

This replica of the original Parthenon functions as an art museum, and stands as the centerpiece of Centennial Park, a public park just west of downtown Nashville. The full-scale building is complete and its decorations were polychromed as close to the presumed original colors as possible. It serves as a monument to what is considered by many to be the pinnacle of classical architecture.

Here at LiftWerx, we are proud to employ a high-performance team of people who have a zest for life and adventure. Thanks to Steven for raising the Flag!

With no cables or winches connected to the ground, our GenHook™ cranes are the world's most efficient tool for performing major component exchanges in wind turbines.

Available in lifting capacities of 27MT, 30MT, and 43MT, and transportable in one or two standard ISO shipping containers, these cranes provide a tremendous amount of safety, stability, power, versatility in a very small and cost-effective package.

Our teams provide large corrective services solely using up-tower crane technology. It's the way of the future, and LiftWerx is proud to lead the way.

This shot is taken 375 feet (114 meters) above the ground, where there's no room for error.

Our teams don't just work at height. They re-define what's possible up there.

This is what "Raising the Bar" looks like in practice.

Congratulations to Team 695, who this week, safely performed their first rotor lift on a 114-meter tower at a wind farm in the USA.

This team has been contracted to exchange the hub of this wind turbine, a complex repair which is not very common. Thanks for a great job, guys!
