Instance

Ritten/Renon Cable Car

A [**3S gondola lift**](/entry/tc-trnsprt-cable-3s) or **tricable detachable gondola (TDG)** is a gondola technology that uses three steel wire ropes (*drei Seile* in German, giving the name "3S"). Two of the ropes support the weight of the gondola cabins, while the third rope provides propulsion.

**LEITNER AG** is a manufacturer of ropeways, including chairlifts, gondola lifts, surface lifts, aerial tramways, and funiculars.

In an [aerial lift](/entry/tc-aerial-lift), a **track rope** is a fixed (stationary) rope that provides support for the vehicles. That is, track ropes play the same role in a ropeway as rails do in a railway. Unlike the [haul rope](/entry/tc-haul-rope), the track ropes do not move. Usually one or both ends of the ropeway have devices that can be used to maintain the tension over the rope's lifetime.

track rope

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).

Route Capacity (passengers)

The route length refers to the actual distance travelled by passengers or goods on the route of a specific means of transport. (For example, on a chairlift, the route length refers to the "inclined length" going up the mountain, which is longer than the distance "as the crow flies" from the starting point to the end point.)
