When two parts of the same industrial site are separated by a motorway and/ or a river, when the daily routing of materials between these two zones necessitates a rational and successful choice; the movement by air becomes a long-lasting alternative to road transport.
Seduced by its economic asset and its weak environmental impact, the VICAT company chose the POMA material ropeway solution.
