THE LEITNER 2S SYSTEM

The exclusive new developments employed in LEITNER’s bi-cable unidirectional ropeway are a symbiosis of its 1S and 3S technology, so they combine the best of both worlds. The main advantages of the system are less noise, reduced maintenance requirements, and a longer service life.

An additional result of the symbiosis between the tried-and-tested 1S and 3S technology is the station design. The stations are tilted by three degrees to best harness downhill forces. As a consequence, less energy is required when accelerating and decelerating cabins. The stations can therefore be designed to be more compact and space-saving.

Based on monocable lift technology that has been tried-and-tested for many years, LEITNER has integrated the acceleration and deceleration mechanisms, hauling rope deflection, and drive and deflection units into the new 2S technology.

Another innovation is the mobile support for the hauling rope. These limit the slack in the hauling rope in very uncommon scenarios involving very long spans. The mobile supports are positioned along the line during the automatic garaging process and automatically returned to the magazine when the vehicles are taken out of the garage again and moved onto the line. This innovative solution has some major benefits for the operation and maintenance of ropeways.
