The company explained that its new K-BP-4 BAS has been designed for large and powerful wind turbines with up to 12MW power generation capacity.

"With our new BAS we adapt to the continuous improving safety and technical requirements for working in the harsh environmental conditions surrounding wind turbine towers and rotor blades."

Equipped with a new TÜV approved system, the new K-BP-4 BAS will enable rotor blade specialists to perform scheduled maintenance, as well as advanced repairs on rotor blades from wind turbines.

Käufer Befahrtechnik technical director Dirk Käufer said: “With our new BAS we adapt to the continuous improving safety and technical requirements for working in the harsh environmental conditions surrounding wind turbine towers and rotor blades.”

Additionally, the new BAS comes with side gangways that can be opened mechanically, thereby allowing the technicians to reach the full 360° longitudinal repair area surrounding the rotor blades.
