Aerial cableway mast with two circulating gondolas, 2016One means of transport conquers the AlpsThe mast is equipped with articulated, cable-bearing sheave assemblies (arrays of grooved wheels). It also carries elements needed for its maintenance (e.g. the transverse struts) and to ensure the safety of those working on it. Usually, the cable passes over the sheave assemblies, which support the load. However, where a mast has to keep a cable down rather than up, the cable is made to pass beneath the sheave assemblies. Also possible are so-called compression assemblies that fulfil both roles.After 30 years of evolution, CWA’s fourth generation of Omega gondola with its ideal shape is seen by many as an industry standard. In 2015 gondolas could be found in over 60 countries – and increasingly in urban environments. Gondola development in Switzerland in terms of engineering know-how is focused on optimised aluminium profiles and connection technology.
