ARDELT delivers major crane to Rhenus Weserport – a milestone after the company’s restart
Eberswalde / Bremen, October 2025 – At the end of October, ARDELT successfully handed over a new Tukan K double-jib luffing crane to Rhenus Weserport. The crane will operate continuously in steel plant service, unloading a wide range of vessels, and is designed for maximum availability, efficiency, and durability.
With a lifting capacity of up to 63 tonnes and a maximum outreach of 55 meters, the new Tukan K ranks among the largest cranes in ARDELT’s current portfolio. Its robust structure and precise control system ensure top handling performance even under demanding conditions. Thanks to its integrated bunker system, the Tukan achieves a handling capacity of up to 2,300 tonnes per hour, seamlessly integrating into the plant’s conveyor systems.
The successful handover marks an important milestone: ARDELT has once again demonstrated its ability to design, manufacture, assemble, and commission complex harbor cranes on schedule and to the highest quality standards. After restarting in 2023, ARDELT has since grown to more than 70 staff and developed into a highly specialized medium-sized company with a global focus.
A special thanks goes to Weserport GmbH for its trust and close cooperation—particularly during a time when ARDELT was still a small and newly formed team.
Today, ARDELT’s mission is to meet highly specific customer requirements and set new standards in modern harbor crane construction.
