UrbanOver the city roofs with the all-rounder

The innovative ropeway systems from Doppelmayr/Garaventa offer a host of benefits in the urban environment. They cross residential areas, rivers and existing infrastructure with ease and glide over every traffic hindrance. As well as lending themselves perfectly to integration into urban planning concepts, ropeway solutions offer infinite scope for creativity. Structures and equipment can be individually designed to cater for cultures, local circumstances and customer preferences. Passengers enjoy entirely new perspectives of the cityscape, top comfort and rapid connections while using the safest means of transport in existence.

Barrier-free loading and unloading make ropeways a positive experience for wheelchair users as well as passengers with strollers or bicycles. Environmentally friendly and efficient at the same time, ropeway systems provide an impressive answer to present and future traffic problems, and create added value for any city.

Roughly 55% of the world’s population currently lives in cities and that figure is expected to rise to 70% in less than a generation. As a result of the growing distance between home and the workplace and unregulated urban sprawl, residential structures are becoming ever more complex and existing traffic infrastructures are increasingly hitting capacity limits.

This makes it essential to find new solutions to address present and future traffic problems. Ropeways and CABLE Liners are innovative approaches which can make a valuable contribution towards resolving this challenge.

  • As the safest means of transport, ropeways are predestined for use as part of the public transport network.
  • Barrier-free loading and unloading along with the spacious cabins on an urban ropeway ensure a very comfortable ride for wheelchair users and passengers with baby strollers.
  • The benefits for the environment are a convincing argument in favor of ropeways for urban applications. The impact on natural surroundings as well as on city residents and visitors is reduced to a minimum.
  • Ropeways blend in easily with city life. No engine noise, no horns – no sound pollution.
  • Ropeways open up a whole new transport plane within a city. Space-saving and therefore exerting a minimal impact on their surroundings, ropeways glide above existing infrastructure and create added value for the transport network.
  • As attested by many successful projects, it is very easy to integrate ropeways into the existing public transport network or to link them up with other modes of transport at major transport hubs.
  • A great advantage of ropeways from the Doppelmayr Group is their high availability. In the context of passenger transport in urban areas, this is essential to ensure a fast, reliable service. A ropeway is virtually unbeatable in such cases.
  • Thanks to its well-conceived modular design, a ropeway can be installed within a very short time frame – with no lengthy disturbances to city life.
  • Riding on a ropeway is an experience for all the family. Adults and children alike can enjoy entirely new and unusual perspectives of the cityscape.
  • The design of a ropeway can be used to create particular architectural highlights. Whether built to cater for individual cultures or focusing on a given theme, a ropeway becomes the defining symbol of any city.
