Titlis Bergbahnen relies on Schindler
Titlis Bergbahnen lässt auf dem Titlis eine neue Bahnlinie plus Aussichtsturm und Bergstation bauen. Schindler wird dafür acht Aufzüge und sieben Fahrtreppen liefern. Der Luzerner Aufzugbauer verfügt über Erfahrung mit Projekten am Berg.
The Titlis is to receive a new railway line, a new observation tower and a new mountain station by 2028. Schindler is involved in the project, the globally active Lucerne-based specialist for lifts, escalators and moving walks announced in a press release. Specifically, Titlis Bergbahnen has commissioned Schindler to supply eight lifts and seven escalators.
“We took great care to involve local and regional companies from Central Switzerland in the project,” said Norbert Patt, CEO of Titlis Bergbahnen, in the press release. Escalators and lifts were awarded to Schindler. “The experience, many years of collaboration and the offer convinced us.”
In the press release, the Lucerne-based lift manufacturer emphasises the challenges of a construction site on a mountain. “The experience of our employees in such demanding projects is a decisive factor,” explains Schindler project manager Jonas Wyrsch. It is not only the work that is more difficult due to the weather and altitude. The logistics also have to be considered more carefully, as missing parts or tools have to be brought up the mountain in a time-consuming process. “The planning has to be perfect and every move has to be right,” says Wyrsch.
