We Build Cranes – And Their Most Critical Components: RIKON Supports MIP (France)

RIKON successfully completes a project with MIP (France), delivering a critical Travel Mechanism. This project underscores our core mission: we build cranes, not only as complete machines but also as a trusted partner for the industry’s most complex components. Our expertise in heavy, precision engineering, backed by extensive facilities and a strategic location at the Freeport of Riga, enables us to provide reliable, end-to-end solutions for global crane manufacturers.

At JSC “RIKON”, our motto “We build cranes” means exactly that. It’s a commitment to the entire craft of crane building. This is why, alongside manufacturing complete cranes under our own brand, we dedicate our expertise and decades of experience to supporting other crane manufacturers by producing their most complex components and structures.

We believe partnership is key to a stronger industry. A recent example is our completed contract for MIP (Track Solution Group) in France, where we delivered a critical Travel Mechanism. This project, involving full-cycle design and fabrication of a core subsystem, showcases our role as a reliable industrial partner for European leaders.

Our specialization lies in heavy, precision-engineered components that form the backbone of any crane – including travel bogies and complete travel mechanisms, boom sections, portal legs, other major welded structures, and custom-built sub-assemblies.

These capabilities are supported by our extensive industrial base: a total site area of 35,000 m², which includes over 10,500 m² of dedicated production, assembly, painting and testing facilities, equipped for the complete cycle starting from metal plate cutting. A key logistical advantage is our facility’s location at the Freeport of Riga with a private quay, allowing us to manufacture, test, and load large components directly onto vessels for efficient global delivery.

If your project requires a trusted partner for complex crane components or structures, RIKON is ready. The successful project for MIP in France proves what we can achieve together.
