The proposed wind turbine component handling apparatus (1) is realized to rotate a wind turbine component and comprises: a docking device (2) realized to be horizontally movable relative to the wind turbine component (10) and to grip the wind turbine component (10); a lifting device (14) realized to vertically lift the wind turbine component (10) in the upward direction; and a turning device (4) adapted to rotate the wind turbine component (10) about a horizontal axis (20). A method for turning a wind turbine component (10) comprises the following steps: mounting a plurality of pins (16) to the wind turbine component (10); positioning the wind turbine component (10) on a support apparatus (12) such that each pin (16) rests in a cradle element (24) of the support apparatus (12); pushing a docking device (2) in the horizontal direction such that openings (18) in the docking device (2) engage the pins (16) mounted to the wind turbine component (10); lifting the docking device (2), wherein the wind turbine component (10) is lifted by the pins (16) mounted to the wind turbine component (10); rotating the docking device (2) about a horizontal axis, wherein the wind turbine component (10) is rotated about the horizontal axis by pins (16) mounted to the wind turbine component; and lowering the docking device (2), until the pins (16) mounted to the wind turbine component (10) rest in the respective one of the cradle elements (24) of the support apparatus (12).
