Abstract
A system for adjusting and/or restraining a gearbox of a wind turbine includes a base component fixed to the gearbox and a vertical displacement device configured atop the base component. As such, the vertical displacement device is configured to apply a force to the base component. Accordingly, by lifting the vertical displacement device, a downward vertical force is applied to the base component so as to adjust (i.e. lower) the gearbox.
