Product descriptionThe KONDOR/SOKOL is a double jib crane designed for handling heavy loads, containers and general cargo in port and shipyard environments. It uses the patented double‑link (double‑sink) principle introduced by Robert Ardelt (Eberswalde, 1932). This kinematic reduces pendulum motion and ensures a horizontal load path during luffing while enabling short load paths and energy recovery to lower operating costs. The block column with base‑point bearing allows installation and maintenance without special tools.
Advantages- Energy recovery for reduced operating costs
- Horizontal load path during luffing
- High positioning accuracy
- Durable, robust construction for simplified maintenance
- Grab depth control
- Transportable by rail
- Actively controlled pendulum damping
- High handling and working speed
Typical applications- Container handling terminals
- General cargo and bulk handling in ports
- Shipyards for outfitting and repair
- Heavy lift operations at quaysides
Design and featuresDouble jib layout with block column and base‑point bearing; patented double‑link/double‑sink kinematic (Robert Ardelt, 1932); integrated energy recovery; short load paths that reduce cycle times; minimized pendulum movements with active damping; installation and routine maintenance possible without special tools when delivered with block column.
