Our main product group consists of rail-bound transport systems in both monorail and floor-mounted configurations. Also part of our portfolio are chairlift systems for both the coal mining sector as well as the non-coal sector. We also provide support to our customers in developing and installing rail and cable guidance systems. These are needed for supplying power to the transport equipment and machinery.

Our rail systems are used mainly in underground coal and ore mining, transporting payloads of up to 48 tons and climbing gradients up to 35 degrees. With our fast global service, we are never far from our customers and can provide support from anywhere.
