- Height differential: 550.89 m
- Diesel engine incl. frame with 129 kW drive power
- After starting, automatic ramp-up of the diesel engine from idle to full operating speed
- DANFOSS POWER SOLUTIONS closed circuit, high pressure variable displacement axial piston pump
(controlled by a SIEMENS control unit in the driver's cab)
- Hydraulic joystick for emergency operation in the machine room
- Open brake circuit pump (as soon as the operating speed of the diesel engine increases due to a lack of
braking power, the system is automatically and gently brought to a halt by hydraulic means using a proportional pressure limiting valve)
- REGGIANA RIDUTTORI planetary gearhead in cable car design and DANFOSS POWER SOLUTIONS axial piston fixed displacement motor (engaged in the cable car sprocket during emergency operation)
