Hey guys, I figured I would go ahead and take this time to introduce myself, my name is Sam Adams and I was recently brought on board to help with the development of a new straight-line cable system manufactured in the United States called CableBahn. The CableBahn system was designed in Germany and then brought to the United States for manufacturing. The system utilizes all United States components except for the physical running cable, which still comes from Germany. However, I am sure many of you are aware how critical and specific the running cable is.. It is simply not manufactured in the United States to the proper specifications.

The major differences between the CableBahn system and other systems on the market is..
-all aluminum tower construction
-hinging tower feet
-larger diameter running cable
-larger diameter pulley
-heavy duty industrial type components (bearings, coupling, pulley shaft, etc.)
-the system comes standard with a phase converter that allows operation from regular household 220v 2Phase Power
-digital operation display (allows operator to change turn-around points, max speed, and other functions without hooking up a computer)

Trophy Lakes in Charleston, South Carolina was the flagship site for the first public CableBahn systems to be in operation. If you have the chance, I would really encourage you to visit. They have a wonderful facility, helpful staff, and great riding conditions. They have been operating their 3 CableBahn systems for almost 5 months now. The video posted above was actually filmed at Trophy Lakes in Early November.

Thanks for the interest! If you guys have any questions, I would be happy to answer them!

Thanks,
Sam Adams
