Overview
AMBAT ICONCRANES partners with Ardelt Kranbau (Germany) to bring ship-to-shore cranes, slewing cranes and goliath port cranes to Indian ports, terminals and shipyards, alongside the Tukan M double jib level luffing crane covered on its own dedicated page. Where Kroll's strength is heavy tower and luffing cranes for construction and power projects, Ardelt's is port and marine cargo handling.
Key Features
- Ship-to-shore cranes for container and bulk cargo transfer between vessel and quay
- Slewing cranes for rotating-boom cargo handling where a fixed-jib crane's reach or arc is too limited
- Goliath port cranes on rail-mounted gantry structures for yard and stockpile handling
- Tukan M double jib level luffing crane
Benefits
- Covers most of the specialised port lifting equipment a large marine infrastructure project needs, from one partner
- Goliath port crane range applies the same freestanding-leg principle as AMBAT ICONCRANES' own Goliath Crane product, scaled up for port duty - familiar operating and maintenance principles for customers already running AMBAT ICONCRANES goliath cranes
- Local coordination and AMC support reduces the after-sales risk of dealing with a German OEM directly
