L. Kissling & Co. AG is the leading manufacturer in the world of gear-reducers for all ropeway-systems, such as aerial tramways, funicular’s, gondola-lifts, chairlifts, and T-bars. This is not purely by luck. Where quality is involved, Kissling does not make any compromise, neither in design nor in production nor in customer service.

Safety and quality have top priorities.
- Bevel-Planetary gear-reducers
- Bevel-helical gear-reducers
- Special gear-reducers
We also manufacture the following products:
- Emergency drives for evacuation of passengers in case of break-down
- Stand-By Drives to continue full operation in case of power failure
- Hollow axles for a bull-wheel-arrangement independent of the reducer
- Disengageable coupling for the bull-wheel
All the components of each gear-reducer are composed of the assembly according to the customer’s specifications. Flexibility has for Kissling a high priority if there are special technical requirements. This is why Kissling enjoys the same good reputation as it did from the very beginning.
