AVANTI Service Lift for Wind Turbines
3.1 Purpose
The service lift purpose is to transport persons plus
their tools and equipment to the most convenient
height for performing work in wind turbine generators
(WTG).
Its use is limited to authorized users.
The access to the WTG and consequently to the
service lift is controlled and forbidden to public
access.
The service lift is used primarily to transport techni-
cians, their tools and spare parts from the bottom
platform (or lowest accessible point) to the top
platform (or highest accessible point).
It is also used to access intermediate platforms
where inspection and service of WTG connecting
bolts and other equipment is made.
3.2 Scope
This manual contains instructions for one
version of the Dolphin lift:
• Dolphin A-V164 CE version.

according to the Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC was performed
The product details are described along this manual.
The product consists of:
• A service lift, which is formed by: a cabin, a
traction system, a fall arrest device, a control
system, and safety devices.
• A guiding system along the tower, which is
formed by: a pair of steel guiding wire ropes, wire
fixes attached to the tower and roller wire guides
on the service lift.
3.3 Exclusions

potentially explosive atmospheres. The service lift is
not designed to carry a person on its top.

A third party approval of the final
integration might be required depending
on the national regulations.
