Abstract

The invention relates to a method of and a gripping apparatus for handling and/or servicing components of a wind turbine, such as installing and/or dismantling components into or from a wind turbine nacelle or such as servicing exterior components such as blades, hub, tower and nacelle of the wind turbine. The gripping apparatus has at least two gripping members capable of being attached to at least one of the following parts of the wind turbine: an attachment point of the nacelle frame, an attachment point of a bottom frame of the nacelle, or an attachment point at the outer circumference of the wind turbine tower. The at least two gripping members are capable of being attached one above the other to the wind turbine for forming an attachment of an external equipment to the wind turbine tower, when the external equipment is in a position of use.
