How are rope-propelled systems operated?

A motor provides the central drive for all carriers. Neither brakes, gear unit nor motors are required in the individual carriers as these are propelled, accelerated and braked exclusively by means of the rope. This technology is therefore very energy-efficient, eco-friendly and cost-effective.
