Technical Information & Safety

Fact sheet of the installation

The Nations Park Gondola Lift is a continuous unidirectional motion Aerial Lift with monocable technology, in other words, the cable moves always in the same direction at a constant speed, powered by an electric motor and the same cable has the function to carry and support the weight of the vehicles and their passengers. Vehicles are detachable closed cabins (also called gondolas), in other words, the cabins are connected to the cable by means of a grip that disengages from the cable when it arrives to one of the stations and engages again when leaving the station. This feature allows a reduction of the speed of the cabins in the stations regardless of the speed on their course to facilitate boarding and disembarking of passengers.
