Overview
Double jib level luffing on an all-electric drive
The RPS series uses a double jib system for precise, efficient load handling. Boom luffing, hoisting and lowering, slewing and travelling are all electrically driven, and the RPS-300 adds an energy recovery system. The RPS-640 and RPS-1600 can also be built with a slewing bearing design.
The RPS-300 is the smallest model, made for port sites with limited space. Its boom reaches 8 to 30 m, extendable to 36 m, and it lifts 20 t in hook mode, up to 30 t as an option, and 10 t in grab mode. Output reaches up to 400 t per hour in grab mode, and the crane weighs 160 t on a 10.5 m gauge.
The RPS-640 sits in the middle of the series and adds spreader mode for containers. The RPS-1600 is the largest: its boom reaches 9 to 40 m, extendable to 55 m, and it lifts 63 t in hook mode, up to 200 t as an option, and 32 t in grab mode, up to 50 t.
RIKON grabs complete the cranes for bulk work: four-rope two-clamshell grabs for coal, iron ore concentrate, agribulk, pig iron and scrap, four-rope six-clamshell grabs for scrap, pig iron and limestone rock, and a three-clamshell timber grab.
