Sinomach subsidiary Beijing Materials Handling Research Institute Co Ltd (BMHRI) has made great headway in cableway transport construction projects for the ski resorts in North, Northwest and Northeast China.

Adopting a vision of innovation-driven technological development, BMHRI has long explored the business of passenger cableways and developed internationally advanced technologies, which has elevated the core competency of China's cableway transport to a higher level.

As of now, BMHRI has built 89 detachable cableways across the country, 28 of them for ski resorts.
