However, as the requirements for wind turbines are getting higher and higher, the power generation capacity of the wind turbines is greatly improved, and at the same time, the weight of the wind turbines themselves is getting larger and larger, which leads to higher difficulty and safety requirements for hoisting.

[0003] At present, in the hoisting method of hoisting the main unit and the hub as a whole, the hoisting beam requires a large amount of material and has a large weight, and is often subjected to a large bending moment.
