The MCP station, “Montaz Counterweight,” is a power station for large CATEX systems,
especially for firing over roads. They are equipped with counterweights to automatically
regulate cable tension. “M” stands for Montaz, and “CP” for counterweight. The motorreducer chassis, positioned on rails, moves horizontally according to the cable’s elongation. The 5-meter-long rails provide a wide range of cable elongation. The MCP has spacious access walkways for the placement of descenders and access to equipment structures.
These stations are used in very large CATEX systems, for example, the two largest CATEX systems globally (8 km and 5.5 km) over the access road to Isola 2000 ski resort, on the approach to the Vaujany Alpe d’Huez ski resort (7 km of cable), and on the road to Col de Tende for access to the Castérino ski resort (almost 10 km of cable), etc.
