Abstract: A main nacelle unit (22) for forming a nacelle (14) of a wind turbine (10) includes a main housing (28) having an outer wall (30a. 30b) and containing a base frame (52) configured to be attached to a tower (12) of the wind turbine (10). The main nacelle unit (22) also includes at least one support frame (56) configured to support a wind turbine component (54) external to the main housing (28). A portion of the support frame (56) is attached to the base frame (52) and movable between a stored position and a deployed position. In the stored position, the portion of the support frame (56) is configured to be positioned within the confines of the main housing (28), and in the deployed position, the portion of the support frame (56) is configured to extend through the main housing outer wall (30a. 30b) to support the wind turbine component (54) external to the main housing (28). A method of assembling a wind turbine using the support assembly is also disclosed.
