Following the recent successful completion of the Isdemir Port project for OYAK Group \u2014 one of Turkey\u2019s largest and most influential industrial conglomerates \u2014 the company has moved without pause to a new stage of cooperation.<\/p>\n\n<p>Commissioning of two new portal cranes for one of Turkey&#8217;s top 100 industrial enterprises has been completed in the Port of Riga. The cranes will be delivered fully assembled by a heavy-lift vessel, just as was done previously for the OYAK project.<\/p>\n\n<p>The team&#8217;s dedication deserves special mention: despite one of the coldest winters Latvia has seen in the last two decades, RIKON specialists conducted assembly operations at the Port of Riga during winter without interruption to guarantee adherence to schedules and high assembly quality under challenging weather conditions.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Technological Bridge Between the Baltic and the Mediterranean<\/h2>\n\n<p>The new equipment is destined for a specialized terminal \u2014 a strategic hub that handles up to 14.5 million tons of cargo annually. The terminal serves as a vital gateway for the region, accommodating vessels with a deadweight of up to 110,000 DWT.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technical Specifications of the Delivery<\/h2>\n\n<p>The two RPS-1100 model cranes are high-performance units weighing 430 tons each.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Engineered for Longevity \u2014 The Classic Portal Design<\/h2>\n\n<p>A key technical highlight of these RPS-1100 cranes is their<strong> lattice-style portal design,<\/strong> echoing the legendary engineering traditions.<\/p>\n\n<p>This specific portal architecture is highly favored by port operators for its extreme durability and is <strong>engineered for a service life of up to 40 years of intensive operation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Easy and Cost-Effective Maintenance<\/h2>\n\n<p>The portal&#8217;s design allows for the replacement of the slewing bearing arrangement in just a matter of days. By utilizing high-quality standard bearings available on the open market \u2014 rather than custom-made, prohibitively expensive large-scale slewing bearings \u2014 RIKON ensures extremely low maintenance costs and eliminates long lead times for spare parts.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Versatility:<\/strong> Efficient operation in both hook mode and grab mode, up to 50 tons;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Durability:<\/strong> The design is adapted to the customer\u2019s climate, withstanding wind gusts up to 43 m\/s and operating in temperatures ranging from -10\u00b0C to +50\u00b0C.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Serial Cooperation and Unique Logistics<\/h2>\n\n<p>Successive deliveries to market leaders confirm RIKON\u2019s status as a reliable strategic partner for Turkey\u2019s port industry.The key advantage remains RIKON\u2019s signature logistical method: The cranes are transported from Riga aboard a heavy-lift vessel in a <strong>fully assembled and ready-to-operate state.<\/strong> This spares the client from lengthy on-site assembly and allows the equipment to be integrated into the port\u2019s operational cycle almost instantly.<\/p>\n\n<p><em>RIKON has been engineering and manufacturing portal cranes since 1991. We design fully electric, custom-built solutions for ports and terminals worldwide \u2014 from the Baltic to the Mediterranean and beyond.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img src=https:\/\/rikoncranes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2026-5-5-Mail-2.jpg alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1064\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RIKON continues its winning streak in Turkey&#8217;s port sector, completing commissioning of two RPS-1100 portal cranes at the Port of Riga ahead of delivery to one of Turkey&#8217;s top 100 industrial enterprises.
