A handling device for a rotor blade of a wind turbine e.g. that can be used for lifting, lowering, transporting, or storing the rotor blade includes at least one cradle for supporting the rotor blade and a moldable support pad secured to the cradle. The moldable support pad includes an outer covering filled with a plurality of granules that act as a fluid when the rotor blade is placed atop the support pad such that a shape of the support pad substantially matches a profile of at least one of the exterior surfaces of the rotor blade.
