Abstract: A transportation system (300) for, and a method (1104, 1106, 1108) of loading for transportation of, a segment (330) of a wind turbine tower are disclosed. The system has a transportation platform (304), the transportation platform having a centreline (320), and a segment support (306, 310) mountable on the transportation platform. The segment support is configured to permit tilting of a supported segment with respect to a pivot point (308) of the support. The segment support is further configured to receive a segment such that the centre of gravity (342) of the segment is offset transversely from: the support pivot point; and from the transport platform centreline. The segment support is also configured to, having received the segment, permit tilting of the segment with respect to the support pivot point to a rest position, and in the rest position the centre of gravity of the segment is alignable vertically with the transport platform centreline.
