How do operators’ needs influence the design of cableway installations?
The tailor-made strategy for sustainable success.
The theme chosen by OITAF aims to highlight the diversity of needs and applications that cableway technology can satisfy. In particular, the objective is to show how, using relatively standardised technology, it is possible to configure a facility or design additional provisions to meet specific and diverse operational requirements.
