Customised cable crane systems for challenging terrain

Page last modified
August 4 2023

Cable crane systems consist of one or two fixed track ropes, towers, a hauling rope, a winch and a crane unit. This is how cable crane systems work: The crane unit moves on the track rope by releasing or alternatively by tightening the hauling rope with the winch installed at the top or valley station. The crane unit can lift the loads and transport them to any desired position along the track of the system. It is equipped with its own diesel engine and can be easily controlled by the personnel via remote control. The system can be customised for any needs of the customer.
