Peak Line: Premium
quality meets design
Modular, maintenance-friendly and compact: With the Peak Line, Garaventa is
presenting an innovative tramway station concept that sets new benchmarks in
terms of user friendliness and faster completion.
The Peak Line is a station concept for
reversible aerial tramways. What distinguishes
the Peak Line from a "conventional"
tramway is the ingenious modular
system with its clearly defined interfaces to
civil engineers, architects and planners. This
enables rapid planning and completion of a
Peak Line project.
Versatile
The Peak Line is available in a small (for 30-
to 55-passenger cabins) and a large version
(for 60- to 100-passenger cabins) and is suitable
for twin-track reversible tramways without
track rope brake and with fixed track rope
tensioning. When developing the Peak Line
concept, provision was made for the incorporation
of autonomous operation (AURO).
Modern design
Modern architecture and innovative technology
merge into one in the station structures.
The buildings are bright and open with clear
design lines. The consistent design concept
runs all the way through from the loading
platform to the station cladding and cabins.
The open front section – which does not require
a supporting structure – provides an
unhindered view of the line and the surrounding
landscape.
Modular concept
The Peak Line offers an extensively optimized
structural and mechanical station concept. All
ropeway components are built and positioned
on and around central concrete masts. The
masts therefore become the central element
linking the electro-mechanical equipment and
the building. This arrangement, which separates
the components from the track, enables
the gauge width in the stations to be optimally
adapted to the requirements of the tramway.
Despite the standardization, the Peak Line offers
a high level of individualization with a host
of design possibilities.
Individual styling
The standard version of the Peak Line features
mesh cladding for the station facades.
This creates a wide range of options for individual
styling of the tramway installation.
