CDC Chain Drive Crane GmgH developed Air Bridge innovative passenger, cargo and cargo-passenger ropeways. Air Bridge represents a cost-effective and technological solutions which can serve as an alternative to bridges, ferries, crossings, winter roads and traditional ropeways.
In comparison with traditional circulating and reversible ropeways, economic efficiency is achieved in particular by reducing the number of linear poles, reducing energy consumption and adjusting the rolling stock wherever necessary.
The construction and operation of Air Bridge requires on average 3 times fewer capital expenses (CAPEX) and up to 70% lower operating expenses (OPEX), when compared to other ropeways with similar characteristics.
