LiftWerx

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'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!

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!

Our team arrived at this wind turbine last Friday. Over the weekend, the gearbox was already safely exchanged, and team is now working efficiently to recommission the tower, which will be back online very shortly.

All work was performed by a single LiftWerx team. There are no large mobile cranes to be seen. And the only equipment on site fits into three small ISO shipping containers.

This is what efficiency and world-class performance looks like.
