About us
Corporate Film: Consistently efficient with ZF Services
ZF Services UK has a wide experience of satisfying specialist market requirements and works closely with its customers to achieve first class results, an approach that has been rewarded with key supplier status by major blue-chip users of ZF-products.
ZF Services’ dedicated UK wind turbine gearbox service facility aims to maximise turbine uptime by offering overhauls carried out in the UK. The wind turbine gearbox services programme was designed after consulting with the UK’s major wind energy providers to understand the challenges they face; the result is a flexible, market-driven approach structured to evolve with industry needs.
The facilities in the UK play an important role in ZF’s global network of plants and service teams offering wind turbine gearbox overhaul, and can draw on the ZF Group’s collective experience of overhauling and testing gearboxes for the most widely used wind turbines. Servicing these high value products requires a purpose-built, state-of-the-art overhaul facility, demands that the UK’s Nottingham site meets with dedicated tooling, diagnostic systems and a test rig capable of handling gearboxes for turbines of up to two megawatts generating capacity.
Whether it’s end-of-warranty inspections, periodic component assessment, or a full overhaul and update of the gearbox to the latest OE design issue level, customers can be confident that their specific requirements will be expertly addressed by the industry trained specialist technicians and engineers within ZF Services.
