With the arrival of these two units, which are identical to the first crane shipped earlier, the terminal’s primary automated handling fleet is now complete. The equipment, dispatched directly from JSC “RIKON”’s own berth, has been safely positioned at the facility and is ready for the subsequent stages of on-site assembly, installation, and commissioning. These cranes represent the pinnacle of modern container handling technology, featuring fully unmanned operation and integration with the proprietary RROS (RIKON Remote Operation System) for high-precision remote control.
The Madrid-Vicálvaro Terminal is a flagship project for ADIF, representing a strategic investment of over €300 million. The delivery of all three RIKON A-RMGs is a critical milestone as the facility prepares for its operational launch. Once active, the terminal will function as the primary logistics hub for central Spain, bridging the Atlantic and Mediterranean rail corridors and handling an estimated 150,000 intermodal units per year.
The successful completion of this delivery phase further solidifies JSC “RIKON”‘s reputation in the European market and confirms its status as a leading provider of technological solutions for the next generation of intermodal transport. Building on past successes in Valencia and other major European hubs, this project demonstrates the company’s ability to execute complex, large-scale infrastructure deliveries. By providing cutting-edge automation, RIKON ensures that the Madrid-Vicálvaro facility will operate with maximum efficiency and safety from its first day of operation.
