JSC "RIKON" has announced the successful commissioning of a new RMG gantry container crane at "First Dry Port Terminal" LLC in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. With a maximum lifting capacity of 41 tonnes under spreader and a working outreach of 7 meters, this new modern crane will enhance container cargo handling in the newly constructed terminal expansion zone.
Operating since 2019, the "First Dry Port Terminal" specializes in complex terminal services and logistics. Spanning an impressive 22 hectares, the terminal features eight railway tracks totaling 5,300 metres, a covered customs warehouse, an open customs area, customs control zones, and efficient loading and unloading facilities.
Strategically located at the crossroads of international transport corridors "East-West" and "North-South", the terminal serves as a vital logistics hub. It links Europe to Asia, playing a crucial role as a part of historic Silk Road while providing an essential route for goods from India, Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Middle East to Europe, bypassing the need for transit through the Suez Canal.
This dry port is a significant player in the realm of international and domestic multimodal transport, underscoring the strategic importance of developing trade routes in Central Asia. The installation of the "RIKON" crane is set to significantly expedite logistics processes at the terminal, ensuring high performance and reliability. This advancement is anticipated to contribute to the region’s economic development and improve customer service levels.
JSC "RIKON" continues successful serial production of container gantry cranes for ports and container terminals.
