The train has a strong climbing ability with a maximum inclining in an altitude up to 100 meters over a length of 1,000 meters.The monorail system is suitable for passenger transport in scenery areas, mountainous regions and urban areas where road traffic is heavy.

CRRC Sifang based in Qingdao city, Shandong province, East China, is undertaking China's first suspended monorail project in Hancheng city, Northwest Shaanxi province. The construction of the line designed to stretch 55 km began in November last year.
