Swiss Made Quality since 1926 2 Our Customers Our customers are quality conscious companies for whom the flexibility, continuous innovation and enormous cableway know-how are important facts. Thanks to the continuity and availability of machines and replacement parts over decades, we will continue to serve our large and ever increasing number of regular customers to their complete satisfaction. Logging Companies still constitute the core business of the company. More and more installations are also going to specialised Cableway Companies, who take over the often very demanding transportation of materials for the construction of mountain aerial tramways, gas pipelines, pressure lines for hydroelectric power plants, bridges etc. Ski Resort Companies use in addition to systems for avalanche conrol also skyline crane accessories or cable winches (Sled Yarders) for the maintenance work on their own cable cars or ski lifts, as well as retrieving winches. Owners of Mountain Cabins often find an economical solution for the transportation of material to their remote houses. Our Products Sled Yarders (cable winches) are used as traction or braking machines for driving cableways to transport the carriage of the skyline crane or cableway. Carriages are moved on the skyline cable by the sled yarder with the help of the mainline cable. In principle, the load that is being transported is suspended on the carriage and transported along the skyline cable. Motorised <strong>Skyline</strong> <strong>Cranes</strong> are equipped with a engine to move the hoisting cable, which is wound around a drum on the carriage. The standard model is pulled using a sled yarder. Motorised skyline cranes are used on construction sites. Single-Line Cableways are selfdriven units for smaller payloads in the range of 200 to 500 kg. Cableway Accessories for the installation, maintenance and operation of cableways, such as cable tensioning equipment, cableway intermediate supports, cable support saddles for intermediate supports, cable clamps, safety belts for climbing towers, pulley-blocks etc. Avalanche Control Systems are used for the artificial release of avalanches in order to safeguard ski slopes, roads, settlements or other installations. Special Installations In this section, almost everything is produced that has something to do with a ropeway, even in the remotest way. These include, for example a bungee-jumping ramp with a retrieval winch, which was installed on the wall of a dam, or a transportation cableway for the transportation of gravel in a gravel pit that shortens a long detour for trucks in an elegant way by crossing a river.
