| - Cars hang from a steel cable which runs continuously from one end of the chairlift to the other and around large turnaround wheels at each end.
- Depending on carrier size and loading efficiency, a passenger ropeway can move up 4000 people per hour, and the fastest lifts achieve operating speeds of up to 12 meters/second (27 mph, 43 km/h). The two-person double chair, which for many years was the workhorse of the ski industry, can move roughly 1200 people per hour at rope speeds of up to 2.5 m/s. The four person detachable chairlift ("high-speed quad") can transport 2400 people per hour with an average rope speed of 5 m/s. Some bi and tri cable elevated-ropeways and reversible tramways achieve much greater operating speeds. Fixed-grip lifts are usually shorter than detachable-grip lifts due to rope load; the maximum vertical rise for a fixed grip chairlift is 300-400 meters and a length of about 1200 m, while detachable quads can se

| - Depending on carrier size and loading efficiency, a passenger ropeway can move up 4000 people per hour, and the fastest lifts achieve operating speeds of up to 12 meters/second (27 mph, 43 km/h). The two-person double chair, which for many years was the workhorse of the ski industry, can move roughly 1200 people per hour at rope speeds of up to 2.5 m/s. The four person detachable chairlift ("high-speed quad") can transport 2400 people per hour with an average rope speed of 5 m/s. Some bi and tri cable elevated-ropeways and reversible tramways achieve much greater operating speeds. Fixed-grip lifts are usually shorter than detachable-grip lifts due to rope load; the maximum vertical rise for a fixed grip chairlift is 300-400 meters and a length of about 1200 m, while detachable quads can service a vertical rise of over 600 m and a line length of 2000 m.
