An apparatus including a platform and extendable structures engages with a wind turbine tower to provide means for detaching and lowering a wind turbine element, such as a blade, hub, generator, gear, transformer or the like. The same means may be used in reverse to raise a wind turbine element back up for installation. The platform may rotate so as to position the lowered element and itself for connection to a truck as a towable set for transport.
