Kurze Antworten
Welche lokale Behörde oder welcher Korridor zählt für diesen Typ?
Starte mit der lokalen Linse: Typzulassung, Betreiberlizenzen und Hubs — keine globale Checkliste.
Is this a buying guide?
No. Tool-Lifes /vehicles is an educational atlas. It explains history, systems and culture without affiliate rankings.
Are the scores official?
No. The six scores are relative editorial 0–100 marks across the 48 types on this site.
Where do the photos come from?
Lead images resolve from Wikimedia Commons via Wikipedia titles on the English masters, with licences recorded on the credits page.
Why metric units?
Metric is the default. Regional notes (US customary, local brand culture) appear in culture and market chapters.
How is this different from a wiki article?
Each type gets seven fixed-depth chapters, comparable scores and cross-type labs — structured for browsing, not a single freeform page.
Bei Seilbahn koppeln Antrieb, Struktur, Regelung und Sicherheit in derselben Betriebsgrenze.
Die Messwerte fassen strukturelle Reserve, Wartbarkeit und Human Factors relativ zusammen.
Systeme
Struktur
Seilbahn: Steel wire rope loops over drive and return bullwheels; tension maintained by counterweight or hydraulic tensioner.
Antrieb
Seilbahn: Detachable grips latch onto moving rope at stations; fixed-grip chairs stay attached continuously.
Energie
Seilbahn: Intermediate towers support sheaves that guide rope path over terrain gaps.
Regelung
Seilbahn: Electric motor with backup diesel drives bullwheel through gearbox and service brake.
Schnittstelle
Seilbahn: Rail or rope brakes hold carriers if overspeed or rope break detected.
Sicherheit
Seilbahn: Slow zones at stations allow passenger embark; interlocks stop rope if gate open.
Relative Meter
Hotspots
Seilbahn: Rope wear
Seilbahn: Broken wires and diameter loss mandate retirement per tramway code.
Seilbahn: Grip slippage
Seilbahn: Worn grip jaws slip on steep grades causing spacing errors.
Seilbahn: Sheave bearing
Seilbahn: Tower sheave seizure flattens rope and increases vibration.
Seilbahn: Line surge
Seilbahn: Sudden stop sends wave along rope, slamming carriers together.
Seilbahn: Door interlock fault
Seilbahn: False open signal halts line in high season queues.
Werkstoffe
Seilbahn: Improved plow steel rope
Seilbahn: High tensile wire with lubricated core resists bending over sheaves.
Seilbahn: Ductile iron grip jaws
Seilbahn: Machined jaws match rope diameter for detachable systems.
Seilbahn: Galvanized tower steel
Seilbahn: Lattice towers resist wind and ice loading over decades.
Seilbahn: Composite carrier shells
Seilbahn: Light cabins reduce rope load and tower sizing.
