Focus Friday – Aerial Tramways

An aerial tramway or cable car or aerial tram is a type of aerial lift which uses one or two stationary ropes for support while a third moving rope provides propulsion. The grip of an aerial tramway is fixed onto the propulsion rope and cannot be decoupled from it during operations.
