A wind turbine tower elevator includes a first tower rail, a second tower rail, an elevator, a first jacking system, a second jacking system, a first locking system, and a second locking system. The elevator includes a main platform and jack housing. The first tower rail and the second tower rail are mounted parallel to a wind turbine tower and positioned offset to each other. The main platform is connected onto the jack housing and facilitates the transportation of blades and nacelle. The first jacking system, the second jacking system, the first locking system, and the second locking system are integrated into the jack housing. The jack housing is slidably mounted to the first tower rail by the first jacking system and the first locking system and the second tower rail by the second jacking system and the second locking system.
