Royal Van der Leun is, in collaboration with Bonn & Mees, working on a significant upgrade of biggest floating crane Matador 3.
The upgrade involved replacing all existing drives. A task completed under tight time constraints. Notably, the Matador 3 is the largest in its series, towering over 80 meters. Royal Van der Leun has previously handled similar projects for Matador and Matador 2.
Given its unique specifications as a substantial floating crane, the Matador 3 required specialized attention for its electrical systems to ensure optimal performance.
We thank Bonn & Mees Floating Cranes for the pleasant cooperation and the trust mutual trust.
In 1920, Jan Cornelis van der Leun opened his shop at the harbor of Sliedrecht. Radios and electric lighting were still new and remarkable at the time. What began with providing light and sound soon grew into creating solutions for the shipping industry and the emerging dredging sector.
That hands-on, problem-solving mentality is still at the heart of our work today.
Stores are constantly evolving: new concepts, updated interiors and smarter technologies. But who makes sure all those plans are actually carried out behind the scenes?
In 2025, Royal van der Leun is responsible for the maintenance and renovation of over 500,000 m² of retail space across the Netherlands. A task that goes far beyond simply pulling new cables.
From June 24 to 26, 2025, Royal Van der Leun will be present at the Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo Europe at RAI Amsterdam. At this leading trade fair in the maritime sector, we will showcase our latest solutions in intelligent electrical systems and sustainable innovation.
