Abstract (en)
A turning arrangement serves for turning an elongated element (2) from a position where the elongated element forms one angle with a horizontal plane to another position where the elongated element forms a larger angle with the horizontal plane. The turning arrangement (1) comprises a crane (4) with a first support means (11) for during the turning operation lifting a first end (11) of the elongated element, a carrier (6) with a second support means (6) for simultaneously moving the second end (5) of the elongated element (2) towards the crane (4). The turning arrangement of the invention is not furnished with other means for supporting the elongated element (2) than said first and second support means (8;6). The turning arrangement is easy and safe to operate and can handle large and heavy pipes like a foundation pile to an offshore windmill.
