Turnkey Project – New “Prada-Costabella” Basket Lift
GRAFFER designed and constructed the new “Prada–Costabella” basket lift, a fixed-grip two-seater system developed entirely with new components and safety devices. The installation features a bottom return station with hydraulic tensioning and a fixed top drive station, both constructed with steel structures and equipped with maintenance walkways, access stairs, enclosures, and integrated safety systems.
The hydraulic tensioning system includes an alarm and control unit to ensure safe and stable operation. The lift is equipped with fixed forged-steel grips, two-seater carriers approved for the transport of disabled passengers and bicycles, and anti-derailment roller assemblies to enhance safety along the line. A comprehensive suite of signaling and safety systems, along with differentiated braking systems—electric, mechanical, and hydraulic—ensures maximum operational reliability. The electrical control and supervision panel provides full monitoring and system management. To support ongoing operations, rescue and maintenance equipment, including service trolleys and spare parts kits, are also supplied. The executive design, managed entirely by GRAFFER, includes structural verifications, technical drawings, and compliance documentation for approvals by ANSFISA and DTT. Fully aligned with current regulations, the project guarantees high standards of reliability, accessibility, and safety, contributing to the efficiency of local public transport services.
