The company has launched its RMH series of \u201cFully electric mobile harbour cranes\u201d, focusing initially on the midrange in the market by crane size and capacity.<\/p>\n\n
RIKON is offering MHCs with a lifting capacity of up to 200t and a maximum outreach of 60m. The first base models in the series offer a maximum load lifting capacity with a grab load of 75t at an outreach of 10-29m, and 42.9\u201324.5t at an outreach of 20-48m. In container mode with a single-lift spreader, lifting capacity is 41t at boom reach of 11-34m, and 42.9-24.5t at boom reach of 35-48m.<\/p>\n\n
The base design is a 4-rop variation for container and grab operations. Crane operating classifications according to IOS 4301\/1 are A3 for high load capacity mode, A6 for hook handling mode and A7-A8 in grab mode.<\/p>\n\n
RIKON\u2019s design has no luffing cylinder, which RIKON said \u201csignificantly reduces service requirements by eliminating hydraulic mechanisms. This ensures a more service-friendly approach while optimizing efficiency.<\/p>\n\n
The crane is also \u201cfully electric\u201d. This means electrical drives for the lifting, luffing and slewing mechanisms, and also for the gantry travel on rubber tyres and the wheel steering system.\u00a0 The only hydraulics on the crane are the cylinders for extending and then raising the crane on the outrigger pads. RIKON says removing hydraulics enhances energy efficiency and protects the environment, and is a key part of its commitment to sustainability.<\/p>\n\n
Along with the new MHC range, RIKON has developed new branding for its products and a new corporate style. These have been launched along with a new website and updated brochures for RIKON\u2019s port handling equipment. This brings together information on RIKON\u2019s approach to crane design and manufacturing, its production resources and products.<\/p>\n\n
The RIKON port handling equipment range now spans double jib level luffing cranes, single jib level luffing cranes, yard gantries (RMGs and RTGS), remote operation and automation systems, mobile harbour cranes, the N-series vessel-mounted cranes and grabs and other attachments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
