Solitec® ropes offer a multitude of advantages. The preformed support profiles between the strands ensure a perfectly uniform rope geometry and consistent rope properties throughout the entire life cycle. The movable support profiles prevent stress peaks in the core when the rope runs around bullwheels, and discourage fretting corrosion due to the defined spacing of the strands. Solitec® ropes are used as hoist ropes in unidirectional monocable ropeways and as haul ropes in unidirectional multicable ropeways, reversible aerial ropeways, and funicular railways.

Advantages

• Uniform spacing of the strands

• High dimensional stability under high lateral pressures

• Perfectly round rope geometry

• Robust multi-component plastic core

• Permanently lubricated fiber core without loss of lubricant

• Very long service life

• Very low elongation during operation

• Little vibration and low noise level

• Little vibration due to perfect and uniform rope geometry

• Stable clamping characteristics for ropeway vehicles

Solitec® Max7 Additional Advantages

• Significantly improved comfort due to the reduction of vibrations: very smooth running behavior, less noticeable operating noises

• Longer service life: better bending fatigue strength due to smaller strands, reduced load and wear in splice areas, better load distribution at cleats, grippers, and pulleys

• Very good field experience with more than 160 ropes sold
