Surface Lifts

%urface lifts are products of decades of e$perience seeing a lot of installations worldwide. They can operate in almost

any weather condition and are characteri&ed by low maintenance cost. They are popular especially in smaller ski

resorts for short and flat slopes. In ma'or and small ski resorts they are mainly used for beginner areas with ski

schools.

robust engineering, their life operations in combination with relatively convenient investment costs. Today fi$ed grip

chairlifts are mainly available for * and + passengers.

Pulsed Gondola rope a!s

ulsed gondola ropeways are also fi$ed-grip installations. They operate with one or more sets of vehicles lined up

one after another. /s the sets pass through the stations the rope speed immediately slows. ulsed (ondola

ropeways operate in both summer and winter season and because of their limited transport capacity they are suitable

for short ropeways.

"etacha#le installations

Detachable installations are characteri&ed by the possibility of detaching the vehicles in the stations from the rope.

This enables a higher speed on the line, a lower speed in the station and makes the boarding and de-boarding more

comfortable for the passengers. /ccording to this, a significantly higher transport capacity as well as more comfort

for the passenger can be achieved. Detachable installations are on the market since the 023s and are considered to

be the 4state of the art5 technology of modern ropeway systems.

"etacha#le Chairlift

Detachable chairlift are representing the most popular, comfortable and fastest transport system for winter sports

enthusiasts. The bubbles protect skiers against any weather condition. They can be taken down at any time during

the drive. 6oreover they are available in different colors to offer a pleasant view even in bad weather conditions. In

cold temperatures the seat heating warms the bench to offer a more comfortable ride.

available in different designs such as rectangular and round designs always having an aluminum structure frame . The

large windows are offering the passenger a panoramic view. They are also available with seat heating. The cabins of

this type of installation are transporting up to 82 passengers per cabin. In addition to classic winter sports tourism,

ropeways are increasingly in demand for alternative purposes such as transport to tourist sights, city commuting, and

as attractions themselves.

Telemi$ is the name given to what today is the combination of two vehicle types in one installation system - chairs

and gondolas. This type of installation combines the advantages of both ropeway systems. E$perienced skiers may

prefer the comfortable chairs as they don3t have to take off their skis. 9n the other hand beginners, children or non-

skiers en'oy the gondolas.

These detachable ropeway systems take their names from the number of their ropes. / bicable gondola lift has a

carrying and a hauling rope. / tricable gondola lift has two carrying ropes and one hauling rope. ;% installations can

achieve a transport capacity of over s ? so they are able to

transport many satisfied passengers. These systems are an attractive alternative for urban transportation because of

their low energy consumption, high transport capacities, highest standard of operating safety, the possibility of an

e$tremely wide span between towers and they perform e$tremely well in windy conditions - even at high wind speeds

of over 822 km>h.

Aerial tra% a!

/erial tramways are very attractive ropeway systems. They are ideal for e$tremely steep terrain, high levels of

availability and good stability in wind. /erial tramways have one or two carriers running to and fro either on one

carrying hauling rope or on one or two track ropes, with a haul rope providing the traction. The biggest cabins for

aerial tramways can accommodate up to *22 people.

can be combined to form train sets. #uniculars are the fastest ropeway system with line speeds of up to 8+ m>s and

high levels of availability they are often used as public transportation means in cities.

The cable-drawn automatic people mover is a detachable ropeway system on rails for both short and medium

distance operations. It is perfectly suitable for the public transportation for e$ample as connections to airports, in

towns and small cities for different transit systems like park and ride or busy locations like shopping malls. This

system offers outstanding fle$ibility for the integration within the already e$isting urban infrastructure.

The cable cars, unlike the two previous types of gear are devices continuous motion. +abins, lowcapacity (from 2 to 09 people , are both supported and hauled through a single cable forming a closedloop driven with a constant speed (up to 9 m ? s .
