Working across North America, our large corrective teams continue to raise the bar, solely using GenHook™ and RotorHook™ up-tower cranes to safely exchange the following types of major components:

💡 Gearboxes
💡 Main Bearings / Main Shafts
💡 Pitch Bearings
💡 Generators
💡 Hubs
💡 Blades

More than ever, we're observing that our customers are utilizing us for their most complex repairs.

Why, you might ask?

It's because for over a decade, we've demonstrated that up-tower cranes are not only safe and cost-effective, but they're ideal for the toughest projects.

Our customers trust that when we arrive on their wind farm, they'll not only get their valuable asset back online, but the repair will be done safely, with the highest quality, and with a minimum amount of logistical disruption to all stakeholders.

After achieving another record month in September, we are proud and delighted to announce that in the first nine months of 2026, LiftWerx has already performed more than 1,000 major component lifts!

All of these lifts were safely performed with crane-less technology, with every project utilizing GenHook™ and RotorHook™ up-tower cranes.

This is world-class performance by any standard.

Do you wonder what the future of wind energy O&M might hold?

You're looking at it.

At LiftWerx, we hire plenty of student interns, most of whom are enrolled in co-operative education. These students require industry work placements as a requirement of their college or university programs.

Hiring students is great for the both the employer as well as the interns.

Interns receive plenty of hands-on experience in their field of interest. They are able to put their skills to work in real-world applications, and at LiftWerx, we provide them with projects that have high value, both for our company as well as for our customers.

And as you can see in this photo, they often need to learn some new and unexpected skills along the way.

The company benefits from bringing new talent into the company. This new talent usually arrives with fresh new ideas, new technical skills, high ambition, impressive intellect, and a healthy work ethic.

The end result? If the chemistry works for both parties, students often end up with full-time careers with the company after graduation.

We firmly believe in this philosophy for post-secondary education. After all, it's a win-win scenario for all stakeholders.

We invite you to look inside of our kitchen.

For those of you who are familiar with the art of performing large corrective repairs in wind turbines, you're probably well aware of how difficult it can be to stab a main shaft into a gearbox, or to gently slide a gearbox onto a main shaft.

The tolerances are far less than 1 millimetre, and stakes are high. If the connection is not mated perfectly, the main shaft can easily get jammed up inside the hollow shaft, causing damage. And if things go really badly, the connection can get seized up, requiring high-power hydraulics to separate the equipment again.

It's no wonder that this is a difficult thing to do. Most of the time, these operations are performed with traditional cranes on the ground. This means that equipment is hanging on a crane hook, being controlled by a large machine and an operator located hundreds of feet below. Every movement requires a command by radio down to the crane operator, who is completely blind to the operation inside the nacelle.

It requires high skill by an operator to shift the crane hook within millimetre precision, considering that the long crane boom is deflecting and the load may be swaying gently in the breeze. What makes things even more difficult is that the main shaft must be inserted into the gearbox at a slight angle, usually around 5 degrees from the horizontal. This all must be done using the hoisting, slewing, and booming functions of the crane. None of these functions align perfectly with the connection being installed.

At LiftWerx, our process makes this process far easier. We use cranes which are designed exactly for this purpose. Our RotorHook boom angle is parallel with the main shaft, and the linear trolley function allows us to slide the main shaft directly into or out of the gearbox, at the precise angle, and with no boom deflection. And the best part? The operator on the left, who operates the crane's remote controller while performing the lift, has full view of the connection, and stands within arms length.

With beautifully-designed technology like this, it's no wonder that we're able to perform hundreds of large corrective repairs each year, with world-class safety, quality, and efficiency.

Kudos to Team Ares!

This week, while working in Texas, the team faced a deteriorating weather forecast, indicating significant impacts from high winds, lightning, and rain. Due to the upcoming weather, the team developed a plan for an extended workday to ensure the gearbox swap was completed and the turbine could be left in a safe condition. Scheduled rest breaks were observed throughout the day for both up-tower and down-tower personnel.

Over the course of the day, the team built the entire up-tower GenHook™ crane system and fully exchanged this gearbox. The new gearbox was safely installed in the nacelle prior to the arrival of inclement weather.

Thanks to a great team effort, guys! We appreciate it very much.

Renewable energy is the fastest-growing energy source in North America. In the USA alone, wind and solar generation has increased seven-fold since 2010.

Only 30 years ago in North America, power generation from wind and solar was virtually negligible, comprising only 0.1% of our electricity sources. Our economy largely relied on traditional power sources such as coal-fired plants, hydroelectric plants, combined cycle plants, and nuclear generation.

But today is a very different story. Renewable power generation presently accounts for 22.7 percent of utility-scale U.S. electricity generation, driven heavily by wind (10.5 percent) and solar (5.1 percent). This is nearly a quarter of all power generation across America, developed in a very short period of time.

Renewable energy leads all other energy sectors in growth rate across the U.S.. Job creation is this segment is impressive: wind turbine technician jobs are expected to grow by 50% from 2024 to 2034. By comparison, the average growth rate for all occupations is 3.1%, so the growth in wind power is around 16 times faster, and it makes wind technician one of the fastest-growing jobs in the country.

Are you looking for a new career in renewables? If you're interested to work for an exciting young company in a high-growth industry, please check out our open positions at www.liftwerx.com/careers.

Congratulations to JG Green for recently completing the Tough Mudder Race in Toronto!

The Tough Mudder is obstacle course race, designed to test physical strength, mental grit, and teamwork. There are two different races. One is a beginner's race, requiring a 5-kilometre run with 10 or more obstacles. More experienced Mudders can also run a longer course, spanning over 15 kilometres with more than 20 obstacles.

The Tough Mudder is not for the faint of heart. Some of the obstacles include barb wire crawls, wall and cargo net climbs, in-water cage crawls, and running up very steep ramps, requiring others to help from the top. And believe it or not, at the very end of the longer race, there was even an obstacle called "Electroshock Therapy", where there are wires hanging down and some of them can deliver an electric shock, so it's best not to touch them, of course! ⚡ 🔌

JG Green is a very Tough Mudder, and amazingly, he completed both the 15k and 5k courses. We admire his style. He speed-walked each course, completing as many of the obstacles as he could, while also taking the time to encourage and help others.

Here at LiftWerx, we are proud to employ a high-performing team of people who have a zest for life and adventure. Thanks to JG for Raising the LiftWerx Flag!
