Doppelmayr, established in 1892, has over a century of experience in pushing the boundaries and opening the way for new forms of transport by rope. The combination of proven ropeway technology at the highest level and visionary developments enables us to expand horizons for bulk material and unit load handling. RopeCon®, one of Doppelmayr’s material transport systems combines the benefits of proven ropeway technology with those of conventional conveyor belts. | More than 3,000 employees in 50 countries around the world are part of the Doppelmayr Group. They plan, develop, design, manufacture, build and support innovative projects. These include high-performance ropeways for passenger and material transport, efficient intralogistics systems and creative experience concepts. This means that customers worldwide receive everything from a single source. | Doppelmayr Transport Technology provides material transport systems for a wide range of applications. Bringing material from point A to point B is only a small part of the entire production chain. Sometimes, however, this part presents serious difficulties for conventional conveying techniques. Restricted accessibility of the site due to rugged terrain or existing infrastructure and other obstacles might hinder the material flow. Also, the importance of a system’s footprint increases, especially in environmentally sensitive areas or close to residential zones. Alternative solutions have to be found to overcome the difficulties conventional conveying technologies experience under such circumstances. Doppelmayr Transport Technology provides solutions for all types of bulk material and unit load transport requirements with a wide range of technically proven material transport systems. Its systems are especially well suited for difficult terrain and allow to span existing obstacles. The company is a 100 percent subsidiary of the Doppelmayr Group. Doppelmayr is technology leader and pioneer in ropeway engineering and has built more than 15,400 passenger and material transport systems in 96 countries. The Austrian family enterprise was founded in 1893 and has established a long tradition of excellence in ropeway engineering. Customers from all over the world rely on Doppelmayr systems to transport their bulk material and unit loads. Within the Group, Doppelmayr Transport Technology specialises in material handling solutions. All from one source: Doppelmayr acts as a one-stop provider: from planning, design, production and installation to operation and after-sales service – all comes from one source. The company works closely with its customers right from the start in order to achieve perfect integration of its systems into the natural landscape or existing or planned infrastructure. Its production plants use cutting-edge manufacturing structure and work to the highest quality and safety standards. Highly skilled specialists ensure a swift and effective installation work on site and, thus, keep the impact on the environment and the customers’ day-to-day operations to a minimum. After handing over an installation, a closely knit network of service points provides reliable support in all countries where Doppelmayr installations are in operation. Product range: Doppelmayr Transport Technology offers various types of ropeway systems. Ropeways are capable of spanning valleys effortlessly, crossing obstacles and transporting their load safely and reliably. They make use of natural topographies and the different types of ropeways allow choosing the perfect answer for a wide range of transport challenges. Ropeways can transport different materials at the same time. It is even possible to combine freight and passenger transport. They also enable different loading and unloading points as well as simultaneous transport in both directions. Being elevated systems, ropeways occupy little ground space and minimize environmental impact. RopeCon® is Doppelmayr’s innovative concept for conveying bulk material. It combines the advantages of proven ropeway engineering with continuous conveyor technology. This enables RopeCon® to easily cross obstacles such as roads, valleys, rivers and buildings. RopeCon® achieves high conveying capacities, while having a minimum structural footprint as it is an elevated system.
