A PERFECT MULTIPURPOSE CRANE SYSTEM: FOR CARGO HANDLING AND SHIP ASSEMBLY WORK.THE TUKAN:

THE EFFICIENT CRANE.

The seaports of this world are the relaystations for the flows of goods which, in the age of global business operations,are continuing to grow rapidly. Shippingunits are becoming ever larger, turna-round times ever shorter and cargohandling operations ever greater. This is an enormous challenge for all thoseresponsible for the loading of goods,and for those who build the ships.

Cranes, as high-performance instru-ments, play a decisive role in this process.Cranes in dockyards and ports, in all possible climatic zones, must alwaysfunction correctly and fulfil the mostvaried demands with regard to handlingcapacity, geometry and ground pressurelimits, etc.

Q INFO

What constitutes the best harbour and dockyard cranes?What does it depend on?

Q Essentially, on:

– low operating costs – high productivity rates

Q More precisely, on:

– efficient and safe handling of bulk goods, general cargo and containers– precise, careful handling of materials and efficient assembly of

ship components in dockyards– maximising the handling capacity and, consequently, short turnaround

times for the ships– economical unloading and loading– low costs for maintenance and operating materials– long working life

The Tukan has all these features.

DOESN’T EVERY INVENTOR DREAM OF CREATING A NEW STANDARD?THE ARDELT DOUBLE JIB LEVEL LUFFING PRINCIPLE.

As early as 1932, Ardelt had inventedthe double jib level luffing principle –and since then has implemented furtherdevelopments. The jib system or doublejib level luffing system comprises fourelements: A-frame, jib boom, tie-backand jib. The crucial point about this special geometry: it allows the desiredhorizontal load path to be realised bymechanical means without havingto expend energy through the hoistinggear. Characteristic of this design is the downward-pointing jib: it decisivelyshortens the length of the free-swingingrope.

This means (above all, in comparison to single jib cranes): the horizontal loadpath and the closeness of the jib to theload allow excellent productivity rates.Thanks to short free-swinging ropelengths, positioning becomes very simpleand precise, even in wind and bad weather conditions – a great advantagefor all types of operation.

In addition, the short free-swinginglengths make the double jib level luffingcrane ideal for semi-automatic operation,especially in the integrated bunker version.

Q INFO

Typical features of the Tukan

– extremely productive: short load paths, short rope and free-swinging lengths, improved centre of gravity position: the double jib level luffing principle

– clear design concept: large-diameter tubular column– very flexible: thanks to the slewing bearing– very economical: recovery of braking energy

A further advantage of the Ardelt doublejib level luffing system: the jib cannotcrash to the ground, even in the event of failure of the luffing gear. It is heldabsolutely secure by the tie-back.

And: optimum guidance of the ropeminimises the bending load on the ropesand increases the life of the rope – therefore reducing the operating costs.

The special double jib level luffing concept of the Tukan provides a coun-terweight balancing lever. The movablecounterweight ensures that, in everyposition, the centre of gravity of thewhole jib system remains close to theslewing axis. This minimises the torquesacting on the slewing bearing and alsoreduces the luffing energy required. In both cases, this means reduced wearand therefore lower costs.

The Tukan, with its slewing bearing andlarge-diameter tubular column, has a cleardesign concept providing great flexibility:– The slewing bearing allows the crane

to be mounted on many different types of portal. The Tukan can there-fore be very easily adapted to suit the prevailing local conditions.

– The machinery house platform is compact, modular and low-mainte-nance, and arranged on the counterweight side of the crane.

Moreover, the Tukan is an extremelyenergy-efficient crane. Its primary ener-gy consumption, already low, is furtherreduced by means of the latest convertertechnology. Through recovery of thebraking energy fed back into the powersupply system the Tukan exhibits asignificantly better energy balance thana comparable mobile harbour crane.

THERE ARE MANY REASONSFOR CHOOSING THE TUKAN.THE MOST COMPELLING ARE:

01 THE DOUBLE JIB LEVEL LUFFINGSY STEM

Decades of experience pay off. Ardeltbuilds what is not only the most robust,but also the lightest double jib level luffing system in the world. The Tukan is manufactured in three size classes,each with specific characteristics relatedto the lifting capacity: Tukan 750, Tukan1500, Grande Tukan 3000.

02 THE HOISTING GEARWe have optimised our hoisting gearthrough decades of development, so we are able to guarantee highest performance and best availability. Theyare equipped as standard with com-pact, high-performance planetary gearsof modular construction. In this way we achieve weight and cost savings.

03 THE MACHINERY HOUSE LAY OUTTypical of the extremely easy-mainte -nance machinery house layout is theexcellent accessibility of all components.The rope entry funnel into the machi-nery house roof is provided with excel-lent protection against rain or spraywater by means of floating guide rollers(with reliable sealing).

06 THE TRAVELLING GEARFor the Tukan we use only tried andtested components from well-known sup-pliers because we believe that reliability is a cardinal virtue. Travelling gear systemsfrom Ardelt characteristically have anextremely robust construction with onevery special feature: the driving dogs be-tween drive and drive shaft have involutetoothing. This makes it possible to easilyreplace the drive units. Ardelt travellinggear units are modular in design and – asmodules – can be combined on travellinggear balancers. In this way they can easilymeet all the requirements that the infra-structure of the respective installation sitedemands. Moreover: in comparison to rubber-tyred travelling gear, rail mountedtravelling gear is less expensive to pur-chase and maintain because the high cost of tyres is eliminated.

04 THE LUFFING GEARThe Tukan luffing gear is extremely safe, simple to maintain and independentof climatic conditions. Depending on size class, we install either single tooth-ed rack luffing gear or double toothed rack luffing gear. This provides muchlower operating costs in comparison tohydraulic or spindle drive luffing gear.

05 THE SLEWING GEARThe Tukan slewing gear systems arecompact, low-maintenance drive unitswith planetary gears. The slewingbearing is secured with Superbolt con-nections which prevent any uncontrolledloading of the bolts. No special tools are required for checking the pre-ten-sion settings. Furthermore, the centrallubrication system contributes to theease of maintenance. Which means simply: Tukan slewing gear lasts longer.

THE TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS.

O Reliable and safe – Rack and pinion luffing gears O Spaciousness of the machinery house grantsgood accessibility and easy maintenance

O Travelling gear from construction kitO Proven hoisting gear block O Rope pressure device for safe hoisting rope winding

08 THE ELECTROCONTAINERWe only install first-class components in the modular-designed Tukan electro-container. We manufacture the controlcabinets, for example, in Eberswalde,install them completely, test them meti-culously and then deliver them as a compact unit together with the opera-tor cabin.

The benefits:– well-arranged structure thanks to

the modular design– high-quality components and

functional testing– low freight costs thanks to reduced

dimensions– less installation work during assembly.

09 THE OPERATOR CABINArdelt operator cabins are individuallymanufactured to specially developed, standardised designs. We design andbuild the cabins to order, or to suit the relevant on-site operating conditions.

10 THE PORTALSTukan portals are also precisely engi-neered. We manufacture them to exactlymatch the prevailing on-site conditions.With these, gantry gauges of 2.5 – 90 mare possible, as well as asymmetricalportals. We have already produced cranes with hook heights of up to 60 mwith corresponding tubular columnheights of up to 50 m.

07 THE CONTROL SYSTEMArdelt is the only manufacturer of double jib level luffing cranes able torefer to an established and integratedknowledge chain: right from the electri-cal design stage through to program-ming and as far as manufacture andtesting. Something which – apart fromagreeable operation of the crane – alsogives the customer the satisfaction ofalways having state-of-the-art equip-ment. Whether this concerns the compo-nents or forward-looking functions suchas remote maintenance.

THEORY:HIGHEST HANDLING CAPACITY WITH SPOT-ON OPERATING PRECISION.SOLUTION: THE TUKAN.

THE TUKAN IN OPERATION.

The Tukan is at home in any locationwhere there are loads to be moved.

In the port, for example, it is the ideal, economical machine for handling bulkgoods, as well as other cargos. In theso-called “kangaroo operation” it achie-ves peak handling capacities. With this method, besides the short loadpaths and swing lengths arising from thearticulated jib design principle, there is a second decisive benefit: the handlingoperation is carried out essentially by the luffing movement. The slewing

Q INFO

In general cargo, heavy load andcontainer handling too, the Tukanis able to make full use of itsinherent advantages:

– highly accurate positioning

– horizontal load path (mechanical principle)

– high working speed

movement therefore becomes secondaryand the effects of braking and accele-ration processes which normally occurduring the trolley travel movements of ship unloaders are eliminated. One of the reasons crane drivers simply love the Tukan.

It is highly regarded in the dockyards for the assembly of ship components.This is due to the short rope lengths, the short load swings and the ability to make very fine and precisely-control-led movements.
