B6 Cradle™ – Wind turbine storage

Safe storage and transport of wind turbine blades and towers with B6 Cradles™

Storing and transporting wind turbine blades and towers can be challenging. Even minor scratches, deformations, or micro-cracks can result in significant costs and production delays. B6 Cradle™ is developed as a safe and efficient solution to protect these sensitive components throughout the entire logistics and handling process.

A flexible and modern solution

B6 Cradle™ is a dedicated cradle system and serves as a modern, gentle alternative to sandbags, wooden blocks, timber beams, metal frames, blade stands, and transport racks commonly used during transport, storage, and handling.
The cradle is known as a strong and reliable storage solution that helps create structure in blade production facilities, where available floor space can be tight, chaotic, and unsafe. B6 Cradle™ can also be customised as an efficient foam fixture for protection during internal transport and in-factory shipments, improving workflow and making everyday handling more predictable.

Our B6 Cradle™, is made from flexible, shock-absorbing foam with a high-friction PUR surface that ensures stability, flexibility, and reduces the risk of movement during transport. The flexible construction adapts to wind turbine blades, towers, and other wind turbine components, protecting them from impact, pressure, and surface damage. The materials are weather-resistant and designed for repeated use, providing a durable and sustainable solution.

B6 Cradle™ can be precisely customised for all blade and tower models, making it a key element of our B6 Cargo Protection System™. This ensures a combination of safety, efficiency, and long service life—from production to transport and long-term storage.
