Colombo ReviGondola®

Fast, cost-effective and climate-friendly

Roller battery revision

With the Colombo ReviGondola®, no helicopters, trucks or snow groomers are needed to overhaul roller batteries.
This means no dismantling of the roller batteries, no removal, no space required for storage in parking lots and no overhaul in the workshop. There is also no need to transport the roller batteries back and reassemble them, and there is no need for laborious walks to the supports in rough terrain.

This is also good news for tourists and for our climate. Without helicopter noise and without kerosene consumption, inspections can be carried out even in the high season and in a climate-friendly way.
