3S Will Supply 50 Service Lifts for the Korosun Project, Which Will Light up Thousands of Homes in South Africa
South Africa has a wealth of wind energy resources. This is particularly true in the west and east coasts, Eastern Cape Province and Northwest Cape Province. The country boasts of an average wind speed of 7 to 8.5 m/s, and in some areas up to 10 m/s. The Korosun Wind Power Project (Phase II), located on the border of the Eastern Cape Province and Northern Cape Province, is currently under construction and is expected to be operational in the first quarter of 2026. This project will bring more clean energy to the people and light up thousands of homes in South Africa.

The total installed capacity of the project is 295 MW. The 50 wind turbines of 5.9 MW are to be installed, all using the 3S LIFT Ladder-Guided Service Lifts with a rated load of 250 kg and a traveling speed of 18 m/min. It will take approximately 6.5 min to reach the tower top(118 m height) using the service lift.
Next month, 3S LIFT products (Service Lift) will be gradually introduced to the South African market, bringing a touch of the 3S element. Compared to the traditional Wire Rope-Guided Service Lift, the Ladder-Guided Service Lift ensures a more stable and comfortable ride. Based on years of experience in designing solutions in the lifting field, 3S LIFT has developed a range of key tower internal components for the wind power industry, such as Climb Assist, Climb Auto System, Service Lift, etc. The guide types of the Service Lift include wire rope, ladder, and rack and pinion, which can be applied to steel towers, hybrid towers, segmented towers, truss towers, and other tower types.
