A method of removing a wind turbine component includes assembling a transport system having a track, one or more support frames, and a carriage movably coupled to the track, the transport system having a first end positioned inside the tower and a second end positioned outside of the tower such that the track extends through an opening in the tower; raising the wind turbine component off of a platform located within the tower and above the door; moving at least part of the platform to allow the component to pass; lowering the wind turbine component onto the carriage; moving the carriage along the track from inside the tower to outside the tower; and removing the wind turbine component from the carriage. A transport system having a track, one or more support frames, and a carriage is also disclosed.
