Maintenance work on the “Zeller 1” ski lift in the Feldberg ski area highlights how early repairs can extend the service life of a haul rope and avoid costly rope replacement. Specialists at Jakob Rope Systems check ski lift haul ropes for damage and repair them.

Jakob Rope Systems is expanding its production site in Vietnam in a second construction phase. The expansion will create additional production and storage capacity, improve manufacturing efficiency, and lay the foundation for the company’s continued growth.

Greening courtyards with trellis structures is an effective way to enhance the quality of urban spaces. The need for green courtyards often arises in cities. Courtyards of office complexes and administrative buildings, as well as atriums in banks, hospitals, and other healthcare facilities, are locations where we have already had the opportunity to design and install numerous trellis structures for greening.

Jakob Rope Systems installed a fall protection system for the old Lorzentobel bridge using stainless steel Webnet structures. The project scope included the engineering, assembly, and installation of the vertical net systems. The result is a discreet safety solution that preserves the bridge’s historic character.

Due to increased transport costs, Jakob Rope Systems will be introducing a 5% price surcharge on the sales prices of its architectural product range, effective June 1, 2026. Services, existing offers, previously negotiated prices, and hoisting and lifting equipment including Habegger rope hoists are excluded.

Jakob Rope Systems developed a discreet fall protection system using Webnet for the pedestrian bridge to the Sion Hospital. The solution meets the highest safety requirements with minimal visual presence and blends unobtrusively into the architectural design of the bridge.
