The vehicles are detachable, indeed. We call it the "pinched loop system" - you can find more info here: www.doppelmayr.com/en/systems/automated-people-mover/
@@Delibro Maybe their reason for asking was because they are significantly heavier trains instead of gondola cabins. My thinking was maybe it's possible for that to cause too much immediate load on the system. What do I know though, all just opinions :)
If Doppelmayr is so good, when do they invent Tripplemayr?
Is it possible to create one that has detachable vehicles from the haul rope so they circulate like a gondola?
Lol, that would be their main business :D You never went skiing?
The Oakland one operates like that, and switches rope midway.
