China/France: Poma Supplies Tri-Cable Detachable Grip Aerial Tramway for Chimelong Ocean Kingdom Zhuhai

France’s Poma company, specialized in aerial tramway and cable car technology, manufactures a new triangle ropeway for Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in Zhuhai, a leisure complex operated by China’s Chimelong Group featuring one of the world’s largest visitor aquariums, to connect the park with two nearby business areas – the installation of the new transportation system is foreseen for 2020.

The new cable car system will feature Poma’s tri-cable detachable grip technology, guaranteeing wind stability up to wind speeds of 90 km/h, according to the manufacturer. Up to 32 passengers per gondola will be able to travel along the 4.5-kilometer long cable car route; the total capacity of the transportation system will reach up to 5,775 persons per hour. For an unobstructed view on Macau Bay, the gondolas, which are designed by Italy’s Pininfarina design company, will feature panoramic glass panels, equipped with LED strips to light up the sky at night and dusk.
