GONDOLA SUSPENSION MECHANISM FOR MAINTENANCE OF CYLINDRICAL STEEL TOWER USED FOR HORIZONTAL-AXIS-TYPE WIND POWER GENERATION SYSTEM AND SUSPENSION METHOD OF GONDOLA FOR MAINTENANCE OF CYLINDRICAL STEEL TOWER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gondola suspension mechanism for maintenance of a cylindrical steel tower used for a horizontal-axis-type wind power generation system and a suspension method of a gondola for the maintenance of the cylindrical steel tower which realize extremely uniform work and which reduce workhours and manpower by fixing a frame body in proximity to a nacelle arranged at the top of the cylindrical steel tower and by suspending a round gondola from the frame body through the medium of a wire. SOLUTION: The gondola suspension mechanism for maintenance of the cylindrical steel tower used for the horizontal-axis-type wind power generation system operates a generator by rotating a predetermined blade which is provided to the nacelle arranged at the top of the cylindrical steel tower. The gondola suspension mechanism for maintenance of the cylindrical steel tower used for the horizontal-axis-type wind power generation system consists of the frame body suspended from the nacelle and the gondola suspended from the frame body.
