Swiss Cord

This model is a low profile lift with a low rope guidance. The re-feeding of the support cord is approximately 3.7m (146'' in) height above the site. The Sunkid Swisscord is used for different applications such as beginner-lifts, logistical or shuttle services solutions in ski areas.

A 16 mm (0.63'' in) polyamide rope with welded rubber grips is used as haul rope.  The gearboxes of the drive- and outstations are built into almost enclosed boxes; height can be adjusted mechanically to 2.8 m (110'' in) on a vertical square pole. This enables the simple adjustment of the tow rope to the current snow conditions on the route.
