Norsjö cable car
The Norsjö aerial cableway is a 13.613 km long small cabin lift in the municipality of Norsjö in the Swedish province of Västerbotten . The Norsjö cable car was in operation from 1989 to 2018. It concerns section IV of the former Linbanan Boliden - Kristineberg material ropeway (see below) between Örträsk ( 65 ° 0 ′ 29.3 ″ N , 19 ° 36 ′ 42.3 ″ E ) and Mensträsk, which has been converted into a gondola lift for passenger transport ( 65 ° 4 '25.3 " N , 19 ° 22' 2.1" E ).
Like the earlier material ropeway, it has a carrying cable and a revolving traction cable with which 28 detachable cabins (14 in each direction) with four seats each are moved, covering the one-way distance at a speed of 11 km / h (3 m / s) covered an hour and a half. A total of three kilometers of the journey lead across streams, lakes and moors.
In 2018, operations had to be shut down after age-related damage to the 73 concrete pillars was discovered. The system was for sale in early 2020.
Linbanan Boliden – Kristineberg
The Linbanan Boliden - Kristineberg was a material ropeway between Boliden in the municipality of Skellefteå and Kristineberg in the municipality of Lycksele in the province of Västerbotten , which was the longest cable car in the world at 96 kilometers . It was opened in 1943 to transport ore from the Kristinebergsgruvan , a mine of today's Boliden AB , to the town of Boliden and on to the port in Skellefteå by rail . It was divided into eight sections. The ore buckets had an empty weight of 200 kg and a payload of 1,000 kg. Until it was closed in 1987, a total of 12 million tons of copper, lead, zinc, silver and gold ores were transported in conveyor baskets on this material ropeway. The Örträsk - Mensträsk section was then converted into a passenger ropeway for tourist purposes and could be used until 2017.
