TRANSPORT DEVICE FOR TRANSPORTING AN ELONGATED STRUCTURAL MEMBER AND METHOD FOR TRANSPORTING AN ELONGATED STRUCTURAL MEMBER

A transport device (100) for transporting a component (120) that is elongated relative to a main extension direction (110) and has a first (130) and a second end (150), wherein the first end (130) is closer to a center of gravity of the component (120) than the second end (150), comprises a component holder (140) and a lifting device (180), wherein the component holder (140) is rotatably coupled to the lifting device (180) via a fixed bearing (170) about at least a first rotation axis, wherein the lifting device (180) is configured to move the fixed bearing (170) at least in a vertical direction, wherein the component holder (140) comprises a fastening that is configured to fasten the component (120) to the component holder (140), and wherein the component holder (140) is configured such that a common center of gravity (160) of the component holder (140) and the component (120) to be transported lies along the main extension direction (110) of the component (120) between the first end (130) of the component (120) and the fixed bearing (170).
