Systems for assembling a wind turbine without the assistance of cranes. According to some implementations a system is provided that includes lifting systems having lifting platforms arranged peripherally around the tower. The lifting platforms cooperate with different connection tools that can be supported on an auxiliary column and thus lift or lower the tower modules.
