URBAN CABLEWAYS
Cableways and mountain railways are not only used in the winter sports industry. They’ve also become a practical means of transportation in cities, which is why we decided to launch SI Urban Magazine. Here we focus on the various topics that are relevant to the urban sector, which are sorted into the categories city, tourism and airport. Each of them will provide you with exciting news about technology, maintenance & service, security, surveillance, city and landscape planning and much more. Innovations, new types of projects and optimal solutions from all over the world should encourage reflection, help in finding ideas and reveal new opportunities.
Cable oiler – Automatic lubrication for cable car cables
What is true for bicycle chains and roller bearings also applies to the heavily strained cables of urban and Alpine cable cars. Effective preservation protects the wire cable from corrosion, reduces internal friction and thus makes it more durable. With the automated cable oiler and the right oil, NK-A from ELASKON, this is possible even in ongoing operation. This is proven in the example of the “PisaMover” MiniMetro from LEITNER in Pisa.
Cable car service – On urban cable cars in particular, relubrication is essential

Environmentally sensitive Management – What is it and how can it help urban transport?
Mobility is changing and many different measures promise to put city-centre traffic on the right track. Whilst experts know that there cannot be one solution to all the problems, we need first to find our way through the jungle of options. One of these steps is explained briefly here.
The marketplace for urban cable cars
Cable cars are on the rise. More and more cities are incorporating the cable-drawn transport system into their transport planning. Yet, because the cable car is new to the urban sphere, there is still a lack of key interconnections. Specialist trade fair with integrated congress CABLE CAR WORLD hopes to tackle precisely this issue and to bring together a broad range of stakeholders and decision-makers from politics, administration, planning, science, economics and urban society in Essen, and so to achieve widespread knowledge sharing. On 7th and 8th February 2022 at Essen exhibition centre, it will therefore be all about the subject of the cable car.
