sustainable

Cable crane systems are in themselves environmentally friendly: They avoid the need for additional construction roads and are quiet and odourless. Additionally, they only require a narrow track to transport material and machinery to the site. So it stands to reason that environmental protection also plays a major role in other areas of our company.

Career at LCS

Our history

Strictly speaking, the history of LCS already begins in 1948. In this year, the mechanical engineering company GANTNER, specialised in winch technologies, located in Sulz, Austria, was founded. From 2004 onwards, LCS cooperated intensively with GANTNER on the development of new machinery, and in 2017 GANTNER Seilbahnbau GmbH merged with LCS Cable Cranes GmbH. Experience and know-how were efficiently utilised. Today, the winches are operated in more than 35 countries around the world – some of them since decades. They are considered to be among the safest and most reliable winches worldwide.
