The València-Font de Sant Lluís terminal is operated by ADIF, Spain’s state railway infrastructure operator, and serves as a key logistics hub on Europe’s Mediterranean coast. The terminal specializes in container cargo handling (up to 150,000 intermodal units annually) and multimodal transport, providing efficient connectivity between the Port of Valencia — Spain’s largest container port with a throughput of 5.4 million TEU in 2022 — and inland rail routes, including the strategically important Mediterranean Corridor.

The installation of the two new RIKON gantry cranes featuring the RROS remote control system represents a significant technological advancement for the terminal. Each crane is equipped with its own remote desktop, allowing operators to monitor and control the equipment with maximum precision and comfort. This solution not only substantially improves operational efficiency and safety but also enhances working conditions by reliably protecting personnel from adverse environmental factors.

Furthermore, RIKON continues its active operations in Spain’s capital, currently executing a project to supply three fully automated A-RMG gantry cranes with a 40-ton lifting capacity for the Madrid-Vicálvaro terminal. These projects demonstrate RIKON’s strong commitment to – and successful implementation of – cutting-edge technological solutions in container handling and multimodal transportation.

The completion of crane installation in Valencia marks a new phase in the development of the València-Font de Sant Lluís terminal, enhancing its operational efficiency and strengthening its position as a strategic international transport hub.
