A **multi-segment aerial lift** is any combination of aerial lifts in a linear route, where passengers who wish to continue on the route need to change vehicles at intermediate stations. (A lift with intermediate stations where passengers can remain in the same vehicle to continue is just a "multi-station aerial lift", and is excluded from this category.)

Mérida Cable Car Segment 2 (La Montaña-La Aguada)

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).
