flexible, efficient, and sustainable solutions support modern planning needs while creating more connected, liveable cities.
The company’ s new Ropera gondola system showcases the new era of ropeways.“ Ropera combines the best aspects of three worlds. Together with the other ropeway manufacturers within the HTI Group, we have developed a detachable monocable ropeway platform that brings together the proven strengths of each brand in a future-oriented solution,” Markus explains.“ The platform is designed with a strong focus on efficiency, ease of maintenance, and long-term operational reliability. Its powerful and energy-efficient technology sets new standards while also ensuring particularly quiet operation.
“ One of its major advantages compared to existing systems is its strong focus on workplace safety and efficient maintenance. In addition, the modern and durable tensioning system as well as the modular
design provide a high level of flexibility for planning, operation and servicing. The concept is complemented by an optimized station roof design created in cooperation with Design Studio F. A. Porsche, combining functionality, protection, and aesthetics.”
Another of Bartholet Ropeway’ s innovations is its new RopeTwin system. RopeTwin is the company’ s latest-generation aerial tramway, designed to provide efficient and reliable access across challenging terrain, from steep slopes and deep gorges to wide cable spans. This technology has already been effectively delivered in Bartholet Ropeways’ first-ever RopeTwin systems in Rodi-Tremorgio and Fidaz, Switzerland.
“ These are particularly important because they are the first RopeTwin platform installations. With these projects, we successfully introduced an innovative and modular platform for aerial tramways into real-world operation,” Markus elaborates.“ They demonstrate the flexibility and
