The invention relates to a system for transporting and testing a crane (14) which is intended for use in an offshore wind turbine (21). The system comprises a crane (14), a transporting frame (15) and a foundation (16). A first connecting mechanism (22, 23) is provided for establishing a releasable connection between the crane (14) and the transporting frame (15). A second connecting mechanism (19, 29) is provided for establishing a releasable connection between the transporting frame (15) and the foundation (16). The system can assume a starting state, in which the crane (14), the transporting frame (15) and the foundation (16) are separate from one another. The system can assume a transporting state, in which the crane (14) is connected to the transporting frame (15). The system can assume a testing state, in which the crane is connected to the transporting frame (15) and in which the transporting frame (15) is connected to the foundation (16). The invention also relates to a corresponding method. The invention makes it possible for the crane (14) to be assembled, and tested, at a site remote from the offshore wind turbine (21).
