Our Products
Wyssen Seilbahnen AG has been
working in the construction of
material ropeways since 1926. With
the introduction of the Skyline Crane
in 1939 by Wyssen, a new decade was
started in the way mountain forests
could be harvested economically
and ecologically. Still today Wyssen
Switzerland is leading the market in
the section of Skyline Cranes and
Material Ropeways. The latest models
Carriages of Wyssen are setting the
standards of todays developement
in this business. Top qualtity,
functionality, reliability, operational
and easy to use are the characteristics
of our products.
Our customers are quality conscious
companies for whom the flexibility,
continuous innovation and enormous
cableway know-how are
important
facts. Thanks to the continuity and
availability of machines and replacement
parts over decades, we will continue
to serve our large and ever increasing
number of regular customers to their
complete satisfaction.
Sled Yarders (cable winches) are
used as traction or braking machines
for driving cableways to transport
the carriage of the skyline crane or
cableway.
Our Staff
Our greatest strength consists of our
qualified and motivated employees.
The majority of these live in the
immediate vicinity, and have been
with our company for many years.
Logging Companies still constitute
the core business of the company. More
and more installations are also going
to specialised Cableway Companies,
who take over the often very
demanding transportation of materials
for the construction of mountain aerial
tramways, gas pipelines, pressure lines
for hydroelectric power plants, bridges
etc.
Ski Resort Companies use in addition
to systems for avalanche conrol also
skyline crane accessories or cable winches
(Sled Yarders) for the maintenance work
on their own cable cars or ski lifts, as
well as retrieving winches.
Owners of Mountain Cabins often
find an economical solution for the
transportation of material to their
remote houses.
Carriages are moved on the skyline
cable by the sled yarder with the help
of the mainline cable. In principle,
the load that is being transported
is suspended on the carriage and
transported along the skyline cable.
Motorised Skyline Cranes are
equipped with a engine to move the
hoisting cable, which is wound around
a drum on the carriage. The standard
model is pulled using a sled yarder.
Motorised skyline cranes are used on
construction sites.
Single-Line Cableways are selfdriven units for smaller payloads in the
range of 200 to 500 kg.
Cableway Accessories for the
installation,
maintenance
and
operation of cableways, such as cable
tensioning
equipment,
cableway
intermediate supports, cable support
saddles for intermediate supports,
cable clamps, safety belts for climbing
towers, pulley-blocks etc.
Avalanche Control Systems are used
for the artificial release of avalanches
in order to safeguard ski slopes, roads,
settlements or other installations.
Special Installations
In this section, almost everything is
produced that has something to do
with a ropeway, even in the remotest
way. These include, for example a
bungee-jumping ramp with a retrieval
winch, which was installed on the wall
of a dam, or a transportation cableway
for the transportation of gravel in a
gravel pit that shortens a long detour
for trucks in an elegant way by crossing
a river.

Yarders
Wyssen sled yarders are the traction machines.
Unsurpassed in quality, service life and performance.
Wyssen Sled Yarders
As a result of decades of experience
in the construction of sled yarders,
and thanks to the continuous further
development, high-performance machines
have been created that are characterised
above all by their mobility, excellent
quality, high performance, safety and
long service life.
Thanks to their lightweight construction
from high quality materials, Wyssen sled
yarders find a wide range of applications
in forestry and in the construction
industry. They are predominantly used
as the drive units of skyline crane
installations, as the traction unit for
heavy skyline cables, as drives for
sloping elevators and as installation or
retrieval winches. When fitted with a
circular drive disc, it can also be used as
a circular drive for material cableways.
The sled runners, which are available in
narrow or wide style according to your
wishes and the type of sled yarder, offer
a good cross-country capability; these
are therefore suitable as mounting
winches.
is free of wear, allows high-speed runs
with heavy loads.
Thanks to the wide range of options
available, Wyssen sledyarders can be
adapted to the individual requirements
of each individual customer. All spare
parts are always available for delivery
ex-stock.
The large drum diameter ensures a very
long service life for the mainline cables.
In the models with a hydrostatic drive,
the speed, traction and
the direction of the drum
rotation is fully adjustable
to the given circumstances
with a single control lever.
With the skyline crane,
loads can be hauled,
hoisted, carried uphill and
lowered using the winch.
Downhill runs are usually
controlled by the air
brake.

HY-2 Carriage
The perfect carriage for your mobile skyline crane.
The latest development is the extremely
compact, remote controlled Wyssen
carriage HY-2.
The patented system is fabricated from
high strength steel, 4 times stronger
than common steel.
Thanks to the remote control, the
operator in the forest can stop and
secure the carriage at the exact right
location.
The carriage travels over the heavyduty Wyssen support saddles.
The mechanical mainline safety feature
activates an emergency stop if the
mainline is parted. In the event that
severe swinging motion causes the grip
to clamp to the side of the skyline, the
clamping process would be repeated
until the carriage stops.
An unintentional release by slackening
of the mainline while passing a tower
is prevented by the control system
The mainline clamp allows the carriage
to be released while the load is raised
or lowered, permitting movement to a
new location and re-clamping to the
cable.
This facilitates the sideways pulling of
the load and protects the remaining
timber growth from damage.
As soon as the hook is drawn tight
into the carriage, the skyline grip
automatically releases, allowing travel
of the unit. When under tension, the
hook is secured against rotation,
preventing damage to the mainline.

HY-4 and HY-7 Carriages
The ideal unit for long-distance cableways.
The HY-4 and HY-7 carriages are
characterised by 4 guide pulleys and
a pendulum to support the load hook
and to relieve the mainline cable while
travelling. As a result, the mainline
cable will not be damaged, even by the
heaviest impacts due to long timber
loads.
Various options are possible:
- Remote radio control of the
clamping to the skyline cable
- Mainline cable clamp in the
pendulum
- 3-cable drum slack-pulling device
- Motorised slack-pulling device with
the power unit as trailer
For the transportation of long and
heavy goods, a trailer with a transport
bar is installed.

Wyssen Motorised
Skyline Crane
The new Wyssen motorised skyline
crane models are equipped with a
hoisting winch with increased cable
capacity and lifting force.
The remote radio control can be
expanded from two to any number of
transmitters.
The hydrostatic drive is powered by a
diesel engine.
The cable drum is locked at standstill
using a spring loaded hydraulic brake.
The Motorised Skyline Crane is fitted
with a hydraulically-driven slackpulling pulley, whereby the lifting
cable is always wound in under tension
without danger of cut in.
The minimum and maximum filling
level of the drum is monitored with
limit switches.
The carriage is equipped with cable
derailment guards.
The upper end position is controled by
a hoist limit switch.
The carriage travels over the Wyssen 2.5
and 5 ton skyline cable support saddles.
The 2.5 m long transport bars can be
used without a trailer carriage.

Wyssen Skyline Crane
The productive and economic material transport and logging in the mountains.
Our system
can be used to harvest
timber from entire valley
slopes with the minimum of
development costs and the carriage,
which transports the load, requires
only one Skyline cable with a single
mainline cable.
Loads are yarded in one easy operation from either side over the entire
length of the Skyline, are raised to the
clamped carriage on the Skyline where
they are transported up or downhill
and then lowered to the roadside
landing. Note that since the logs are
directly yarded to the carriage, the
Felled and bucked timber
(1) Yarding logs
(2) Yarding bundled
smallwood
high upward lift (as
applied from the mainline
cable) aids to raise one end
of the logs and lift them over obstacles so that „hang ups“ are generally avoided.
The Sled Yarder is used for both the
installation and operation of the
Wyssen Skyline Crane. The mainline
cable, which is stored on the drum of
the sled yarder, hauls the loaded or
unloaded carriage uphill.
The Wyssen Carriages can be remotely
controlled by radio or
work automatically
as soon as it comes
to a stop and clamps
to the Skyline cable.
Then, by providing a
„slack“ mainline cable
from the sled yarder,
the carriage load hook
is lowered where it
can be attached to
the load. The load is
then raised to the carriage and when the
load hook is engaged
inside the carriage, the
clamp mechanism will be
released from the Skyline.
The load can then be transported up
or downhill as required.
Environmentally, the forest
ground and most residual trees
are protected by the Wyssen
Skyline Crane, while still providing a
sound economic alternative for the
harvesting of timber on steep mountainous slopes.
The Skyline is usually anchored
and tensioned to trees or buried logs (deadman anchors).
Under its own power the
sled yarder pulls itself to
the top operating station
on the mountain. It can
also be transportet by
helicopter.
During downhill operation the carriage is braked by the mainline cable
with the air-brake supplying the necessary retarding force to regulate the
speed. Fitted inside the drum of the
sled yarder is a another large braking
system which acts to stop, or slow the
mainline cable drum and carriage as
required.
