Abstract[English] A method for handling a wind turbine component (26) is provided. The method includes providing a lifting yoke (38) having a yoke frame (40) and connecting the yoke frame (40) to the wind turbine component (26). The method further includes providing a first crane (24, 36) and attaching the first crane (24, 36) to a first crane interface (44, 46) on the lifting yoke (38). The wind turbine component (26) is suspended in the air by the first crane (24, 36). The method further includes providing a second crane (36, 24) and attaching the second crane (36, 24) to a second crane interface (46, 44) on the lifting yoke (38). Support of the wind turbine component (26) transitions from the first crane (24, 36) to the second crane (36, 24) while the wind turbine component (26) is suspended in the air. Transitioning support of the wind turbine component (26) includes moving the first crane interface (44, 46) and second crane interface (46, 44). A lifting yoke (38) for handling a wind turbine component (26) using a first crane (24, 36) and a second crane (36, 24) is also provided.[French] L'invention propose un procédé de manipulation d'un composant d'éolienne (26). Le procédé comprend la fourniture d'une fourche de levage (38) ayant un cadre de fourche (40) et raccordant le cadre de fourche (40) au composant d'éolienne (26). Le procédé comprend en outre la fourniture d'une première grue (24, 36) et la fixation de la première grue (24, 36) à une première interface de grue (44, 46) sur la fourche de levage (38). Le composant d'éolienne (26) est suspendu dans l'air par la première grue (24, 36). Le procédé comprend en outre la fourniture d'une seconde grue (36, 24) et la fixation de la seconde grue (36, 24) à une seconde interface de grue (46, 44) sur la fourche de levage (38). Le support du composant d'éolienne (26) passe de la première grue (24, 36) à la seconde grue (36, 24) tandis que le composant d'éolienne (26) est suspendu dans l'air. Le support de transition du composant d'éolienne (26) comprend le déplacement de la première interface de grue (44, 46) et de la seconde interface de grue (46, 44). L'invention propose également une fourche de levage (38) pour manipuler un composant d'éolienne (26) à l'aide d'une première grue (24, 36) et d'une seconde grue (36, 24).
