The Doppelmayr /Garaventa Group iss the incomparable leader in cable transport technology having thousands of installations worldwide. Their portfolio of products is extensive and we invite you to explore them at http://www.doppelmayr.com/. There are few key technologies which are revolutionising the materials transport business like this RopeCon system. As Doppelmayr Transport Technology's Southern Africa's representative, we highlight the technology on this page and welcome your inquiries.
 The Ropecon system is a continuous conveyor for all types of bulk material. The systems can be short as well as extremely long distances of up to 20 km in one section. The track ropes are the supporting elements and the ropes run over towers in a similar way to a ropeway and are anchored at the ends. A conveyor belt with corrugated side walls runs on wheels on the ropes. The distance between two towers can be up to 800 m. This system can be built to cross over impassable terrain, rivers, motorways and buildings with out any difficulty. The maximum span on an operating system is 1,200 metres in Mexico.
The Ropecon system has several distinct advantages over traditional systems:
The first three RopeCon units to be installed in South Africa are in manufacture and the foundation work for the first unit is in progress. Installation is planned to start in late 2018. For a list of successful projects and more information about RopeCon worldwide, please visit this page. Doppelmayr is the technology leader in the field of Rope-ways and is distinguished by top - class product quality and safety standards. Material Ropeway systems can transport up to 1500 tons/hour or single loads of up to 40 tons even in rough and difficult terrain and have only a very minimal impact on the environment. Spans of up to 1,500 m and gradients of 90 % can be surmounted without any problem. The Ropeway system provides an alternative for Unit Material handling - such as containers, cars etc. These systems are purpose designed but provide a significantly reduced foot-print and interface with other surrounding infrastructure.  People transport using cable-supported systems have been used worldwide for centuries.
