ski lift wire rope made in china

Isn’t this the dream of every ardent skier: wedeling downhill merrily and then being taken uphill again within minutes in comfort and at ease by a ropeway or gondola?

Year after year, ski lift and/or ropeway operators are faced with this challenge: to take any number of winter and summer tourists from the valley up the mountain, safely and quickly. And not only in the mountains but in the cities, too, passenger ropeways play an increasing role in the daily transport of great numbers of people. To ensure that transportation is effected safely and fast, not only the appropriate lift systems are required, but also reliable ropeway ropes for passenger ropeways. And these very ropes for ropeways are one of the specialities of Teufelberger-Redaelli.

Our vast experience in steel wire rope manufacturing gained over two generations helps us create optimized products for all fields of use in the passenger ropeway segment.

Our high-performance steel wire ropes for passenger ropeways are developed and produced at two locations in Austria and two in Italy. We produce advanced steel wire ropes for the most spectacular ropeway projects all over the world. Our focus is set on the high requirements in terms of the rope’s service life as well as smooth running behaviour, which we meet through our special rope constructions and production technologies.

With our pioneering rope technologies such as SOLITEC® and SUPEFILL®, we can guarantee long maintenance intervals and thus less downtime, which constitutes a key factor for the success of a ropeway operator.

Our carrying ropes often do their duty throughout the entire lifetime of the ropeway system – and that with great reliability, low maintenance requirements, and the utmost riding comfort.

The provision of high performance steel wire ropes for your passenger ropeway custom-tailored to your specific needs is a fundamental prerequisite for a lasting and successful business relationship. However, TEUFELBERGER also provides additional services that render the construction or upkeep of your ropeway system significantly easier.

No matter which kind of ropeway you operate, we have the right rope for you in our product portfolio. Whether you need a rope for a funicular railway, a Funitel/Funitor, a bicable or tricable ropeway, a reversible aerial ropeway, a gondola ropeway, a chairlift or a surface lift, we have the appropriate hauling ropes, carrying ropes, tensioning ropes, as well as carrying-hauling ropes.

Wire ropes can be seen everywhere around us, they are made of strands or bundles of individual wires constructed around an independent core, suitable for construction, industrial, fitness, commercial, architectural, agricultural, and marine rigging applications.

Wire rod is made from high carbon steel wires(0.35 to 0.85 percent carbon) in a hot rolling process of a required diameter, usually from 5.5mm to 8 mm.

Wire rod is drawn to the required diameter by the 1st drawing machine after descaling dust and rust, adding mechanical properties suitable for application.

Positioning the wires different or the same size lay in multiple layers and same direction, or cross lay and diameter is maintained by one-third of the rope size.

So in theory, it is very simple to manufacture wire ropes. However there are many more details that must be closely monitored and controlled, and this requires time and experienced personnel since it is a super complicated project you cannot imagine.

It"s no secret that it"s hard to find specialists to keep resorts running. From top-level electricians and IT specialists to first-rate lift and vehicle mechanics, resorts have a tough time keeping up. But there may be perhaps no greater impending shortage in the next 10 years than that for rope splicers and inspectors.

The rise of the independent splicer/ inspectors illustrates many of the changes that have occurred in the resort business as it has grown and evolved. Many began their careers working for wire rope manufacturers where they learned the art of splicing. When liability issues became large in the 1970s and 80s, wire rope companies looked to shed risk. At the same time, liftbuilding slowed. Faced with layoffs, many splicers became independent operators.

Inspector/splicers are essential because they ensure the viability of the wire ropes that carry riders uphill. Not that wire ropes are prone to problems; there"s not much wear on ropes. But eventually they weaken from the bending that occurs as they go around the bullwheels. Such wear takes place slowly, over many years. On fixed-grip lifts, the ropes can last 30 to 40 years. On gondolas and detachable chairs, which make round trips (and go around the bullwheel) twice as often, the ropes last 15 to 20 years. "Cables don"t fail catastrophically," says Richard Ryer, a splicer and inspector with 45 years of experience. "They give you plenty of warning."

There are less than a dozen inspector/splicers who service the several thousand lifts in the U.S., from Randy Blenis in New England to Ryer in Tahoe. This cadre is highly talented; many have been in the business for 25 years or more. But that"s also the problem. Most of these old hands are nearing retirement, if their 401ks ever recover. And there are few younger splicers coming along behind them.

That"s an issue, because the need for quality is higher than ever. A poor, rough or bumpy splice causes faster rope wear and a bumpier, slower ride for passengers-the bumps add shocks to the rope, which can trip the system.

Inspections consume most of the time of the inspector/splicers. Ski lift haul ropes are inspected yearly. Mostly, this involves visual inspections of the ropes, but codes now require some electromagnetic testing. In both cases, though, inspectors check out the condition of the splice and of the rope itself at random intervals.

takes a practiced eye to do a proper visual inspection; damage, primarily broken wires in the rope, often occurs on the inside. That makes visual inspection as much art as science. "I look for anything that"s abnormal," Ryer says. "It"s hard to describe."

What sorts of abnormalities might turn up? "Occasionally you find a lightning strike that requires a repair right away," says Randy Blenis, who"s been building lifts and splicing wire ropes since the mid-1970s. "In bad cases, you might have to replace the rope, but often you can replace the strand that"s broken. On two occasions, I found a rope hit by a bullet."

Inspectors also note how the rope wears over time. "We keep a track record of the rope," says Blenis. "You get broken wires, especially in the tucks. The crown and length of lay will change slowly." This last indicates stretching.

The splices themselves are important, too. First, when a rope is installed, the splice is what takes a single long wire rope and turns it into a continuous loop. A smooth and strong splice provides for a longer rope life, smoother ride, and thus fewer stops. In addition, over the course of time, as wire ropes stretch, it is often necessary to shorten them by resplicing. This might be done up to four or five times over a rope"s life.

Splicing has been, for many, a family business. Of the the current splicers, Richard Ryer, Danny O"Connor, and R.J. Knight learned from their fathers. Bill Alsup learned from another father-and-son team, Poma founder Jean Pomagalski and his son Bernie. Norm Duke learned from Bill Diener, a contemporary of those early splicers. Dale Walters learned the trade at Paulson, an American wire rope company, and later taught Randy Blenis.

Today, the family tradition has continued. Walters has trained his son-in-law, J.T. Anderson, to do both inspection and splicing, and his daughter Whitney to be a wire rope inspector. R.J. has trained his sons, Justin and Jason. Randy Blenis is teaching his son, Brandon. One exception: Bill Alsup has trained Terry Zakotnik, VP of operations for the Palm Springs Tramway, to replace him as the 71-year-old Alsup scales back.

Danny O"Connor"s story is typical. "I started working for my dad when I was 14, 16," he says. "I"m now 62. My father was one of the old timers in the ski business. He got involved when they brought the first T- and J-bars from Europe, in 1936. I always thought I would do something else, because this work is way too hard." Instead, he inherited O"Connor Ski-Lifts, which he still owns.

They all have their strategies for dealing with the traveling lifestyle. Blenis simply chooses to keep his travel to a minimum. He limits his splicing and inspections to the customers of his Ropeway Construction company, which focuses on building lifts.

With so few splicers and so many lifts to work on, there"s competition among splicers-but it"s a friendly competition. "R.J., his family and mine have been in competition for 60, 70 years," says Ryer. "Our dads started up the business right after World War II. But we"re good friends. We talk to each other whenever we have problems."

That might not be the case in six, eight, or 10 years. "The industry will be screwed," says Duke. "There are lots of ropes 30 to 40 years old, a lot of them will have to be replaced in the next 10 years," Walters adds. The consensus is that some of the work will be done by splicers from Europe, where many are still employed by the rope manufacturers. "But when crunch time comes, they will be busy in Europe," Walters says.

Splicing is a combination of art and craft. The length of the splice and of the “tuck tails,” where the ends of the individual strands of the splice are tucked (woven) into the rope, are determined by the diameter of the rope: splice length is equal to 1200 times the diameter, and tuck length is 30 times the diameter (or up to 100 times, in the case of rope manufacturer Fatzer’s own specs). For a typical detachable, with a 1 5/8-inch rope, the splice must be about 175 feet long. That takes a “crew of 12 to 15 people, who we recruit mostly from lift maintenance and ops,” says R.J. Knight. Where possible, they also bring in students from Colorado Mountain College’s resort management program. The crew helps handle and maneuver the rope while the splicers handle the critical work.

Haul ropes on ski lifts consist of six strands of wire wrapped around a core. Splicing involves overlapping the ends of the rope, then entwining three of the six strands from each of the ends to marry them.

Alsup says that the hardest part of the job to learn is making a smooth tuck. While it can take time to unlay a strand from one end and replace it with a strand from the second end, once that process gets started properly, it flows along. “The tucks are hard, that’s where the craftsmanship comes in,” he says. “Starting the marriage is like putting a nut on a bolt. If you get it started right, it goes easy.”

Consider a 1 1/2 inch rope. By code, the splice length must be 1200 x 1 1/2 inches, which comes out to 150 feet (splicers often add an extra margin, but let’s ignore that for the moment). From the marriage, the center point where the splicing begins, “you run your splice 75 feet in each direction,” says Alsup. Out toward the ends of the splice, each of the strands are cut and tucked into the rope, with the tuck points staggered to avoid creating a weak point. “To get that tail into the rope, you remove the core and put the strand in. Where the strands cross, that’s the tuck point. And that’s where the craftsmanship comes in.” With a 1 1/2-inch rope, the tuck is 45 inches long. The core is cut and removed, the strand is straightened and fit into the void, and the other strands are laid over it.

Sounds simple enough, but the wire strands are not easy to work with. The larger the ropes, the harder they are to shape. “You have to get it right,” Alsup says. “If you have a lumpy tuck, you can’t just beat it into submission.” And getting it just right is the trick.

“The quality of the tucks are better than they have ever been,” says Richard Ryer. “Due to detachables, they have to be.” That’s because the higher speeds of detachables magnify the effect of any flaws and cause the rope to wear faster, and also cause more vibration and therefore more stops.

Life expectancy is 20%~40% higher than that of general point contact wire ropes, and even up to 1~2 times. Choose this kind wire rope in vertical well hoisting can save cost and reduce the frequency of replacement.

Shenwei can package the rope by plywood reels(500M-2000M), soft coils(10M-200M), plastic reels(100-300M) and other packages according to customer’s requirement.

They were in the process of splicing the steel cables of the haul rope to which the gondola cabins attach, weaving the ends together in an intricate and painstaking “marriage,” to use the term from Dave Hunter, vice president of mountain operations.

Stretching 3.4 miles long and weighing 157,000 pounds, the haul rope is among the most vital components of the gondola. Splicing the ends together requires near perfection not just to ensure its strength, but also to make for a comfortable ride up the mountain.

Only a handful of people in the country can perform the work, according to RJ Knight, owner of Knight Equipment Co., based in Missouri. His family has been securing the metal ropes of amusement parks and ski resorts since his father, Aubrey, founded the company in 1927.

Knight’s sons, Jason and Justin, oversaw the splicing of Steamboat Resort’s haul rope on Friday. They unwound three steel cables from one end and three from the other. One at a time, they then wound those cables into the empty spaces on the opposite end.

He directed an amalgamated constructing crew, consisting of employees from the Doppelmayr lift company and Steamboat Resort, to intermittently pull on both ends of the rope to settle the cables into a snug fit.

Hunter expects the splicing of the haul rope to be completed by Saturday. After that, crews will attach it back to the gondola towers and run the lift to test the tension on the rope.

Almost all of the new gondola cabins have arrived at the resort, according to Hunter. Each will offer free Wi-Fi to guests and a faster ride-time than the previous lift.

Final commissioning of the gondola is scheduled for the end of October, which requires the approval of the Colorado Safety and Tramway Board. After that, everything should be in place for the lift to be open by the start of the 2019-20 winter season.

The 6x19 Classification of wire rope is the most widely used. With its good combination of flexibility and wear resistance, rope in this class can be suited to the specific needs of diverse kinds of machinery and equipment. The 6x19 Seale construction, with its large outer wires, provides great ruggedness and resistance to abrasion and crushing. However, its resistance to fatigue is somewhat less than that offered by a 6x25 construction. The 6x25 possesses the best combination of flexibility and wear resistance in the 6x19 Class due to the filler wires providing support and imparting stability to the strand. The 6x26 Warrington Seale construction has a high resistance to crushing. This construction is a good choice where the end user needs the wear resistance of a 6x19 Class Rope and the flexibility midway between a 6x19 Class and 6x37 Class rope.

The 6x36 Class of wire rope is characterized by the relatively large number of wires used in each strand. Ropes of this class are among the most flexible available due to the greater number of wires per strand, however their resistance to abrasion is less than ropes in the 6x19 Class. The designation 6x36 is only nominal, as in the case with the 6x19 Class. Improvements in wire rope design, as well as changing machine designs, have resulted in the use of strands with widely varying numbers of wires and a smaller number of available constructions. Typical 6x37 Class constructions include 6x33 for diameters under 1/2", 6x36 Warrington Seale (the most common 6x37 Class construction) offered in diameters 1/2" through 1-5/8", and 6x49 Filler Wire Seale over 1-3/4" diameter.

Although Wire Rope used under various conditions can be found in many different places, people do not think very much about Wire Rope and may not think that they come in different shapes and categories. For most of the people, they look the same to each other. However, they are not all the same, and you must choose the right one for each use. In order to choose a wire rope that suits your needs, you must have thorough understanding of its structure and characteristics.

Many think that rope is an expendable part of crane and tend to handle them rather recklessly. However, a handler"s lack of knowledge in rope and such reckless handling have often led to a serious disaster.

Recently, elevators, such as super high-speed elevators in high-rise buildings like those in Landmark Tower, Tokyo Metropolitan Government Buildings, and TAIPEI 101 (in Taiwan), have become indispensable in our daily lives. Elevators are also installed in small-scale condominiums and personal homes, and the number is increasing. However, rope used in those elevators involves human lives: thus the building-cord regulates its classification and standards.

Due to the regulation on logging to alleviate environmental destruction, cableway used in forestry has been gradually replaced with helicopter yarding. In addition, log imports have slowed down the domestic industry, greatly reducing a demand for rope. However, a great number of ropes are still used as wire to carry logs.

An aluminum alloy heterogeneous tube is attached to the connecting parts of a rope and is compressed from the outside. The plastic deformation gives a strong binding power to the wire.

At present, cableway in Japan is one transportation industry, which 470 million people use per year. They are indispensable for skiers and sightseers among mountain sites. Above all, ski lift and cable car have the greatest number of installation in the world. We supply wire rope to many companies for their cableway facilities.

This extremely comfortable and modern lift system with 8 seats enables a very high transport capacity of up to 4,000 passengers/hours. This system is especially popular in winter sports areas because skis, snowboards, etc. need not be removed to board the lift again for repeat runs. The coupling technique perfected by Doppelmayr, enables safe boarding and exiting at a very slow speed in the lift station and up to 5 m/s on the lift route. There are Bubbles (weather protection covers), Bubble Orange, chairs with seat heating and automatic closing available. Since the 1997/1998 season, the first 8-person chairlift in the world has been in operation in Vradal (Norway). The world’s second 8-person chairlift went into operation in the Alps in Nauders in the 1999/2000 season. In Ischgl, the first 8-person chairlift with weather protectors has been in operation since the 2001/2002 season.

This lift system with 6 seats enables a very high transport capacity of up to 3,200 passengers/hour and is extremely comfortable and modern. The first detachable 6-person chairlifts have been in operation since the 1990/1991 season. The first one went into operation on Mont Orignal (Canada). The first detachable 6-person chairlift with weather protectors opened in 1994/1995 in Flachau (Austria) and a fixed-grip 6-person chairlift first opened in Hintertux in 1995/1996.

This comfortable ropeway system is especially suitable as a feeder lift in winter sports areas, for tourism centers and for urban applications. A particular highlight is the family and senior friendliness of the Doppelmayr installations of this system. Due to the closed cabin, passengers are also protected from wind and weather. The cabins, with a capacity of up to 20 passengers, are connected to the haul rope by detachable grips.

The coupling technique enables a very comfortable and secure boarding and exiting of the lift at very slow speeds in the lift station and up to 6 m/s on the lift route. Depending on the cabin size, transport capacities of up to 3,600 passengers/hour can be achieved.

This innovative ropeway system combines the advantages of a detachable gondola lift with those of a detachable chairlift. Gondolas and chairs are used simultaneously, whereby the boarding and exiting areas are separate and the requirements of the individual lift types are met.

In the summer, the combined lift offers wheelchair users comfortable transportation by gondola. In the winter, the gondolas are much appreciated by families with children, while the “speedy” winter sports fans prefer the chairs because they need not take off their skis, snowboards, etc.

3-S ropeway lifts combine the benefits of a gondola lift with those of a reversible aerial tramway. These are detachable circulating ropeway lifts with a capacity of 30 passengers per cabin and a transport capacity of up to 6,000 passengers/hour. This system features high wind stability, low energy consumption and the possibility of very long rope spans. It can travel at speeds of up to 7.5 m/s. The first 3-S lift went into operation in Saas-Fee (Switzerland) in 1991.

The Funitel - State of the Art ropeway technology. This system, perfected by Doppelmayr, is extremely wind stable and can withstand wind speeds of over 100 km/h. Due to the special feature of two haul ropes at a distance of 3.2 m, very long rope spans can be overcome. Thanks to a special pneumatic suspension system, the 24 passenger cabin offers a very high level of comfort. Transport capacities ranging from 3,200 – 4,000 passengers/hour are achieved at speeds of up to 7.5 m/s.

The Funifor ropeway lift is a patented system from Doppelmayr. The special feature of this lift is the wide rope gauge of the haul rope. The haul rope is connected to the cabin with 4 horizontal cable sheaves.

The classic reversible aerial tramway/aerial ropeway lift features one or two carriers, consisting of a track rope, hangers and cabins, which travel back and forth between the stations. They are transported by a haul rope along one or two track ropes. These are anchored at the mountain station and led along the route via rope saddles on the supports and are either anchored in the base station or tension is provided with weights. The cabins travelling along the track ropes are connected to each other via the upper and lower haul rope. In one of the stations, the rope is propelled by a drive system; in the other station, it is weighed down by a counterweight in order to achieve the necessary tension.

The transport capacity of the aerial ropeway lift ranges from 4 to 200 passengers (depending on the cabin size), the speed is up to 12 m/s and capacity along the lift length ranges between 500 and 2,000 passengers per hour.

Funicular railways are particularly unaffected by weather conditions and very wind stable. One or two vehicles travel on a stationary carriageway (predominantly on tracks). The vehicles are propelled by a haul rope, usually via a reversible system. On short routes; it is possible to have two parallel track lengths, while on longer routes, a single track with a passing track in the middle is often used.

The vehicles travelling on the track are connected to each other by the haul rope, which is usually powered in the mountain station. Depending on the steepness of the route and the location of the propulsion system, sometimes systems with a counter rope are implemented. This is then weighted in the counter station with a hydraulic cylinder or with a tension weight in order to achieve the required tension level.

Cog railways are trains with racked railways that are used to overcome inclines of up to 48%. These trains are normally used as feeder lifts across long routes in ski resorts. The individual trains can be moved independently of one another.

A Cabriolet is an open gondola lift and is the successor model of the basket lift. The Cabriolets of today are modern lifts that slow down during boarding and exiting and usually transport winter sports fans from the parking lots or from one part of the village to another. Cabriolets are also very suitable for crossing over roads or streams in order to shorten travel distances.

The list of single chairlifts is constantly becoming shorter because they are usually replaced by lifts with higher performance levels. The transport capacity of a single chairlift is usually very low and is therefore no longer economically feasible. There are (almost) no more single chairlifts being built at this time.

A basket lift/cage lift is a reversible ropeway with a reversible haul rope upon which fixed-grip baskets (sometimes with a roof) are fastened. The basket usually offers space for two passengers and (usually) does not slow down during boarding or exiting. For this reason, it is not very suitable for children or the elderly. Basket lifts are being replaced by lifts with higher performance levels and there are (almost) no more being built.
