Cable Cars And Ropeways Market

Report Description
A cable car, ropeway or aerial tram can be defined as a type of aerial lift which uses one
or two fixed (uniform and stationary) ropes or cables for supporting the transporting
vehicles, trolleys, tram, pallets etc. and a third moving rope or cable for proper
propulsion. By getting this lift, the grip of an aerial cable car or ropeways is fixed onto the
rope or the cable and cannot be decoupled from it during the operating conditions. Cable
car is a simple, cost effective and a powerful technology. Relatively easy and quick to set
up and construct, operate and disassemble again. It has been the most effective form of
transportation of goods and people in the past, it has been also a very important means
of transportation across hills and cliffs, such rivers, snow covered areas, mountains and
unequal terrains lands etc. The common materials used for construction of cable cars and
ropeways earlier was wood/fiber but steel has emerged as a common choice. The
advancement of technology has allowed introduction of electric motors and steel cables
which provides increased efficiency. The various industry sectors where cable trays are
used includes mining, urban transportation, tourism industry and material handling
industries.

ropeways are underutilized in urban transportation industry due to performance and cost
constraints and the relatively unending demands and solutions for transportation sectors
