Safe and Swift Brake Maintenance for Offshore Wind Turbines

Brake maintenance on offshore turbines is no small task, especially when working with heavy components in confined spaces high above the sea. To simplify the process, Svendborg Brakes, a Regal Rexnord brand, has developed the LBS Yaw Brake Lifting Tool.

Designed for use uptower, the tool allows technicians to safely remove and reinstall yaw brake calipers with minimal manual handling. By cutting replacement time by up to 50% and reducing physical strain, it supports faster, safer servicing in challenging offshore conditions. The tool is already being used to streamline maintenance across large-scale turbine fleets.
