The components for our Wind Harvester turbines are transported to the site on standard flat-bed trucks or in land-sea containers at ~$4-5/mile per truck and installed using small truck-mounted cranes or a Rough Terrain crane and a bucket lift. One trained manager can install the turbines with a crew of 2-3 people who have basic mechanical skills. We anticipate it will take one crew per turbine to fully install and start operating a turbine in a large project.

In comparison, multi-megawatt traditional propeller-type turbines require specialized trailers on eight or more trucks for transport. These trailers are overwide, over-height, and overweight and require special permitting. Costs averages are over $50/mile per truck.
