ACCUMAR CABLE LIFTS

Traditional Accumar Cable Lifts have extremely low visual impact to neighborhood views & recreation areas and offer a great variety of gondolas to fit many different steep slope situations. The biggest advantage of the Cable Lift is its ability to span a great length without having to build any supports on the slope itself. Cable Lifts are generally less expensive than track systems because they usually do not need to include any construction on, or alterations to, the slope. They have very little environmental impact when compared to trails, steps, and track systems. 


The Low Profile Tram deck and all of the rigging & mechanical components are kept below the railing height on the deck. This keeps the appearance low and uncluttered. Owners tend to utilize the deck to enhance the property.


Cable Lifts are electric, almost invisible, and very quiet. The gondola rides on two large galvanized support cables (typically 5/8" diameter) that are anchored at the top and bottom. Two other galvanized aircraft cables (from the winding drum hoist) drive the gondola up and down. The cables visually disappear from view a short distance away, unlike staircases and tracks that can be seen for miles. Accumar uses no hydraulics…that means no hydraulic oil messes
 

Controls for starting and stopping are in the car and on the entry decks. They are key controlled. Only low-voltage is present at the controls. The car starts and stops with smooth, gradual acceleration. The ride is whisper-quiet.
