Abstract:

Being as a simple style of passengers ropeway,strop ropeway is very popular in modern travel sites,especially in high mountains,rivers and deserts travel sites.The design of Maoershan strop ropeway is introduced from steel rope, poles, line parameters and running-car and the construction and utilization of it is described in this paper. Maoershan strop ropeway is designed according to the theory of parabola and the principle of gravity sliding. The construction is simple and the cost is lower by using the natural conditions. The results of Mao'ershan strop ropeway design and utilization would be a practical experience for other ropeway design.

Key words: Maoershan, strop ropeway, design, construction and utilization
