Mobile support
Another innovation is the mobile support for the hauling rope. These limit the slack in the hauling rope in very uncommon scenarios involving very long spans. The mobile supports are positioned along the line during the automatic garaging process and automatically returned to the magazine when the vehicles are taken out of the garage again and moved onto the line.
benefits for the operation and maintenance
- The mobile support can be serviced or inspected in the magazine. You don’t need to work on the line.
- Inspection of the track ropes is not hindered by permanently mounted suspended haul rope supports.
- No more periodic relocation of permanently mounted suspended haul rope supports.
- The mobile supports consist of standard carriages. They can also be used as carriages for the vehicles. Inspection activities on the carriages can therefore be done during passenger operation, which is especially beneficial for year-round ropeways
