  • Device for handling a wind turbine rotor blade and a method for handling wind turbine rotor blades
    Patent number: 8360398
    Abstract: A device for handling a rotor blade of a wind turbine is provided. The device includes a frame which defines an inner space for at least partially accommodating the rotor blade. The device further includes a blade support which is arranged in the inner space and mounted to the frame, and a first lever arm. The first lever arm is pivotably mounted to the frame and includes a retaining end arranged in the inner space and an actuator end which is movable to rotate the first lever arm so that the rotor blade is retained between the blade support and the retaining end.
