PENTASI has been producing wakeboard cableways since 1993. In Hungary alone, they have built 9 of the current 12 cableways in operation — holding the leading position in the Hungarian wakeboard cableway market.

More than three decades of combined production and operational experience have allowed PENTASI to refine every detail of the system: maximising reliability while continuously keeping pace with the growing technical expectations of both riders and park operators.

WakeStation together with PENTASI covers the full spectrum of cable wakeboarding and skiing — from site consultation to finished, operating park.

PENTASI system control

Cable speed can be set instantly by selecting from memorized presets on the touchscreen. Each of the 4 adjustable presets can be changed by entering any value between 0 and 50 km/h. The speed can also be adjusted manually via joystick at any time. Elevator speed is controlled by a potentiometer — since the optimal speed depends on factors such as wind strength, wind direction, and how many riders are on the cable, the operator can lock in the best speed at any moment by pressing and holding the potentiometer for 3 seconds. A short press at any time returns the elevator to that saved speed. The pneumatic cylinders operating the fork and the magazine are controlled through heavy-duty industrial joysticks built to withstand years of daily use.

PENTASI drive

PENTASI cableways are engineered for both performance and efficiency. When selecting the drive motor, our primary focus is on power where it matters and economy where it counts. The system is capable of pulling all riders out of the water even after an unplanned stop, while keeping energy consumption low. We use 30–45 kW electric motors sized to the track length, each guided by a sophisticated frequency converter that ensures smooth, consistent operation under any conditions. Power is transmitted through custom-manufactured, heavy-duty cardan shafts and differentials built to last.

PENTASI pulleys

Pulleys are cast from a special aluminium alloy — engineered to be lightweight without sacrificing longevity. The running cable contacts a dedicated HDPE lining inside each pulley, protecting the wire cable and ensuring consistently smooth running. We specify only the highest-grade SKF bearings throughout, so the pulleys keep spinning reliably for years of intensive commercial operation.

PENTASI columns

Columns are fabricated from structural steel and hot-dip galvanized for lasting corrosion resistance — keeping the installation looking sharp and performing reliably season after season.

PENTASI piers

PENTASI full size cableways include spacious 100 m² piers. Each pier is assembled from 4×4 m prefabricated segments designed to complement the cableway’s overall aesthetic. Like the columns, the pier frame is constructed from hot-dip galvanized steel tubing. The deck surface is finished with painted anti-slip pine wood laths for safe, comfortable access in all conditions.

PENTASI fork

The fork is equipped with a photocell sensor and closes automatically once the ball cable passes through — ensuring reliable, hands-free operation and reducing operator workload during busy sessions.

PENTASI brake

Rider safety is our first priority. PENTASI uses a powerful pneumatic negative brake that brings the system to a complete stop immediately whenever needed — including in the event of a power failure. The park keeps running confidently, and so do you.
