A [**monocable detachable gondola**](/entry/tc-monocable-gondola) (**MDG**) is a common type of [aerial lift](/entry/tc-aerial-lift), with a single steel cable strung between two or more stations, supported by intermediate towers. Many gondola cabins hang from the cable via a detachable grip, which allows the cabins to detach from the cable and slow down at each station. The cable provides both support and propulsion for the gondolas.

In an [aerial lift](/entry/tc-aerial-lift), the **haul rope** is the [wire rope](/entry/tc-wire-rope) that provides propulsion for the vehicles. It moves either continuously or in a reversing fashion (for [tramways](/entry/tc-trnsprt-aerial-tramway)). In [monocable lifts](/entry/tc-monocable-gondola), the haul rope also provides support for the vehicles, whereas in other systems such as [3S lifts](/entry/tc-trnsprt-cable-3s), the vehicles are supported by separate [track ropes](/entry/tc-track-rope).
