Jigbacks

Reversible ropeways or jigbacks operate with one or two carriers – comprising a cabin, hanger and carriage – traveling to and fro between two terminals. The carriage runs on one or two track ropes, with a haul rope used to supply the traction. The cabins can carry between 20 and 200 persons, depending on system requirements.

CWA cabins and hangers for reversible systems in customized designs for up to 200 passengers are in operation on ropeways worldwide.

CWA has demonstrated its capacity for innovative ropeway carrier engineering with the world-famous ROTAIR revolving cabin.

The ROTAIR first saw the light of day in 1992. A ropeway cabin with a revolving floor – what a sensation!

So passengers can enjoy 360° panoramic views on the ride up and down the mountain without having to turn their heads – that was something unheard of.

As a circular jigback cabin with a capacity of about 80 persons, the ROTAIR is always a big crowd-puller.

If you need a replacement cabin looking just like the old one in terms of style and color scheme, a REPLICA by CWA is the perfect solution.

REPLICA cabins are state-of-the-art ropeway carriers, combining modern standards of engineering and passenger comfort with traditional cabin designs.
