Detachable Ropeway Systems

6–8–10 Person Chairs & Cabins

Detachable ropeway systems are high-performance transport solutions where carriers detach from the haul rope within stations, allowing high speed on the line and reduced speed during boarding and unloading. They represent the standard for high-capacity, high-efficiency transport in both alpine and urban environments.
