AS RIKON (Riga, Latvia), which manufactures lifting and trans-shipping machinery for ports, shipyards and industrial enterprises is celebrating after completing a factory modernization in Riga Freeport.
The company which designs produces, assembles and installs gantry cranes, mobile harbour cranes, and gripping devices like grabs and spreaders, completed the renovation installing a new line of Italian and Finnish equipment.
The factory is located on an area of 21,000m2 , where it handles cargoes of up to 50t inside the plant and up to 70t outside the plant, with metal processing and welding equipment, including universal metal cutting machines, computer-controlled plasma and gas cutting devices, including sheet metal bending press with capacities up to 350t and matrix length up to 6m.
“A modern lifting equipment is a complex technological structure ‘with eyes and brains’. Its work is controlled and regulated not only by humans, but also by IT solutions and countless sophisticated sensor systems, which provide for smooth and safe handling. Our ability to adapt, create innovative solutions and a quality product is our competitive advantage,” said Mihails Baškankovs, commercial director, AS RIKON.
The company recently signed a contract with First Dry Port Terminal in Uzbekistán for one gantry crane, 41 ton under spreader; and in June, it partnered with Spanish government company, ADIF, which operates across all of España’s railways, where it received an order for two gantry cranes, 41 ton under spreader.
At the end of last year, it signed a contract with the Port Of Brcko, Bosnia and Herzegovina for a 27 ton double jib level luffing crane; and it supplied a level luffing crane to Marseille-Fos Port (Grand port maritime de Marseille), which is used in the repair and painting of cruise vessels.
The crane has a smart anti-collision system, which takes into account not only the position of the cranes on the tracks, but the crane’s degree of rotation and boom outreach and modernized an existing old crane of Marseille-Fos Port.
In 2021 it supplied an electro-hydraulic Grúa RTG to LM Wind Power, Polonia, (part of General Electric, Estados UNIDOS). The crane is equipped with special traverse, the length is 70 metres and the weight is 40 tons and handles wind turbine blades.
