Rope Railway

A ropeway is a transportation system with a suspended vehicle that travels between two distant places, connected on one or several steel ropes stretched in the air. Rope Railways work with the principle of elevator, but they can rise to very high points from the ground, just like a helicopter, especially as crossing over valley.
The rope railway is set up between difficult-to-reach heights. There are also those that exist over a sea or a strait. The places where the rope railways are installed are the regions that are very difficult or very expensive to reach by land, rail and sea. The rope railway established between two certain points in such regions is used for the transmission of people or materials. The aerial tramway that people are transported consist of passenger cabins that are suspended on steel ropes.
Aerial ropeway systems, which are generally single-direction and single-rope circulation, are also designed with two or more steel ropes. Here, one rope puller and other rope(s) act as carrier rope.
