Wind Energy Solutions
HAWART provides a unique and comprehensive range of specialty machines for the global wind energy industry, supporting the production process as well as the handling, transport, and installation of wind blades, along with additional customer applications beyond WTG blades.
Mould Turning Solutions
HAWART produces WTG blade mould turning solutions for OEMs and mould producers, supporting restricted (Hinge 800 low turning) and standard bay height configurations (Hinge 800 high turning).
HINGE 800 LOW TURN
The HINGE 800 Low Turn is designed for applications with limited installation height and compact system integration. An additional pivot point enables controlled rotation while minimizing overall turning height.
Each hinge is equipped with an individual power pack and electrical control unit, providing precise torque control and reliable operation. The system is developed for low-height production and assembly environments where a compact rotation geometry is essential.

Blade Production Solutions
HAWART’s expert-designed shear web gantry systems ensure consistently high-precision web bonding and outstanding blade bonding line quality. We support onshore blades and complex offshore multi-web blade bonding applications, including complete and segmented web solutions for off-mould and in-mould bonding.
Onshore Web Gantry
The HAWART Onshore Web Gantry (WG) is designed for the precise and controlled transfer and placement of rotor blade webs from the Web Floor Station (WFS) to the blade mould. Inside the mould, the Onshore WG is positioned onto dedicated interfaces (either a hydraulic lifting/lowering system, or fixed receivers) according to the nominal web placement. This ensures the webs are held in an ultra-precise position throughout the bonding process, resulting in repeatable, highest quality blades.

Offshore Web Gantry
The HAWART Offshore Web Gantry (WG) is used to transport one or several webs simultaneously from the Web Floor Station (WFS) to the blade mould. Inside the mould, the Offshore WG is positioned onto dedicated interfaces (either a hydraulic lifting/lowering system, or fixed receivers) according to the nominal web placement. This ensures the webs are held in an ultra-precise position throughout the bonding process, resulting in repeatable, highest quality blades. The Offshore WG is capable of handling multiple webs and is designed to bond web segments either off-line in the WFS or directly in-mould using the integrated gantry system.

Blade Transport Solutions
HAWART is an expert company in supporting the road transport of wind blades with blade-specific configurations. We design and configure blade interfaces, torsion-minimizing tandem and pendulum frames, and lifting adapter systems to manage challenging road conditions and transport constraints such as height and permissible width.
HAWART is a leading developer and supplier of custom rotor blade transport solutions, including interfaces for lifting adapters, tandem and pendulum frames for self-steering trailers in road transportation. With our pendulum and tandem frame solutions, torsional loads on the blade are minimized during transportation - significantly reducing stress on and potential damage of the blade. The HAWART system provides an optimized low-height geometry, minimizing the overall transport height for safer and more efficient road handling. Our transport solutions can be seamlessly integrated into existing transport systems from manufacturers such as DOLL, Faymonville, Goldhofer, Scheuerle and others.
