Ropeway conveyor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A ropeway conveyor is essentially a subtype of gondola lift, from which containers for goods rather than passenger cars are suspended.
Ropeway conveyors are typically found around large mining concerns, and can be of considerable length. The COMILOG Cableway, which ran from Moanda in Gabon to Mbinda in the Republic of the Congo, was over 75km in length. The Norsjö aerial tramway in Sweden had a length of 96 kilometers.
In Ethiopia the Italians built a ropeway in 1936, which was 75km long as well.
