What are the advantages of aerial tramway?

Simple, inexpensive yet powerful technology. One of the most energy-efficient forms of transporting goods and people. Relatively easy and quick to set up, operate and take down again.

Despite their good characteristics, aerial cable cars also have certain limitations:
  • Speed limited to 12 m/s or 43,2 km/h.
  • Capacity limited to 4,000 persons/h.
  • Suitable only for distances up to 7 km (gondolas with intermediate stations)
  • Wind resistance, normally up to 18 m/s (65 km/h), bi-cable systems 90 km/h.

A disadvantage of mono-cable gondolas is that the weight of the carrying-hauling rope is quite high. The weight ratio of cargo, empty cabins, and carrying-hauling rope is somewhere around 30:30:40.

The mitigative impact on climate is also significant: use of the cable cars has led to a reduction of 121,029 tonnes of CO2 between 2010 and 2016.

MORE DETAILS

One apparent advantage of the cable car is its relative energy efficiency. This is due to the economy of centrally located power stations, and the ability of descending cars to transfer energy to ascending cars.
