Interesting facts about deep-drawn parts for cable cars & revolving cabins
Thermoformed plastic components offer an optimum combination of low weight, high stability and cost-effectiveness for ropeways and revolving cabins. The reduced component weight reduces the load on support and drive systems, while at the same time ensuring high impact strength and dimensional stability. The thermoforming process enables cost-efficient production with consistently high quality – even for complex or large-format components.
Plastic parts are used in numerous areas of cable cars and revolving cabins. These include panoramic glazing, protective windows, roof and side panels, interior panels and technical covers. Transparent and dimensionally stable components in particular play a key role in the visibility, comfort and design of modern cabin systems.
In alpine use, components are permanently exposed to extreme weather conditions. Thermoplastics are corrosion-free, easy to clean and resistant to UV radiation, moisture, ice and temperature fluctuations. This reduces maintenance costs and downtimes while maintaining the long-term functionality of the components.
Safety is a top priority for ropeway systems. Plastic glazing and protective panes from swissplast are impact-resistant, break-proof and dimensionally stable. They help to maintain the structural integrity of the cabins while ensuring a clear, distortion-free view – even under demanding operating conditions.
The thermoforming process allows several functions to be integrated into a single component. Reinforcements, fixing points or design details can be integrated directly into the plastic component. This reduces the number of individual components, simplifies assembly and sustainably lowers production and system costs.
Swissplast supports manufacturers and operators of cable cars from development to prototypes to series production. With many years of experience in material selection, production technologies and quality assurance, we create customized plastic solutions for the highest technical and safety-relevant requirements in alpine applications.
Whether gondola lifts, revolving cabins, reversible aerial tramways or special solutions – swissplast manufactures plastic components for a wide variety of ropeway systems. Our solutions can be flexibly adapted to cabin geometry, design and operating conditions and offer maximum design freedom with consistently high quality.
Thermoformed plastic parts combine low weight, high stability, optical quality and weather resistance. They make a significant contribution to the safety, durability and cost-effectiveness of modern ropeway and cabin systems and offer a wide range of applications in ropeway construction.
