POMA: Gondola lift for some areas in the city of Medellin

The municipal council of Medellin has chosen the gondola lift solution to connect the hillside district of Santo Domingo to the city's overground metro network.
The MetroCable project, as it is called, is cofunded by the city and the mass transit company, Metro Medellin. The contract with POMA was signed on March 31, 2003 and concerns the supply of an ARIANA 8-10 gondola lift from the SATELLIT range, equipped with aluminum DIAMOND gondolas made by SIGMA.

With a ceiling height of 2.10 m, the gondolas are the largest made by SIGMA so far. Each of the 93 gondolas have room for eight seated or ten standing passengers, and include a radio and battery- or solar-powered lighting for nighttime operation. The line runs 18 hours/day, all year round.
It is 2 km long, with a vertical rise of 400 meters, three sections and four terminals, including two intermediate stations, the first of which includes a 15° turn.
Located in a built-up area, construction of the lift required the issue of a number of compulsory purchase orders on various properties. In addition, the ground on which the lift is built calls for extremely deep anchoring for the single-shaft towers, each of which rests on four piles, with a diameter of 2 m, driven down to a depth of 8 meters.

Also die Bahn ist definitiv mal geil
