Automatic rope saddle lubrication with simalube

 

Grindelwald Pfingstegg cable car

The deputy technical director of the Pfingstegg cable car, Daniel Vanhove, explains why he swears by simalube.

The six 60ml simalube lubricators are mounted directly on the suspension saddle and ensure constant lubrication. For this reason, the suspension cable glides smoothly back and forth, which in turn improves the riding comfort of the passengers. Thanks to the continuous lubrication, wear is kept to a minimum.
