It was very good for it's time, 1989

@@nielsdaemen 1985 actually, they appeared on this lift(Kanzelwandbahn) in 1989 during it's grand restoration

Osman Safian Baharuddin Right! Imagine what would happen if it was somehow pushed up while hanging on the cable!

@@nielsdaemen no one can do this :) maybe "superman" :))

@@nielsdaemen why not ? maybe a vulture or an eagle

@@user-pt2ln7fe3e To open such a grip there are much higher forces necessary than any bird can generate. 😉 E.g. to open the "DT" grip or the "Grip-D" of the Doppelmayr company one has to put a ton heavy weight on the detaching lever - so an unintentional opening is almost impossible.

@@npljojo *almost* impossible...

It has proven itself to be extremely reliable😁

But I wonder what kind of force it takes to push the knob up. Could you bring a long stick and push it up from inside the cabin? The gondela would then roll down freely on the support cable and crash into the next gondela😱

@@nielsdaemen no it would not, there are automatic brakes which engage on the rollers on the support cable. But on single-cable cablecars the units would simply fall down

@@RandomUser2401 I highly doubt there are brakes on these rollers. I am sure the bigger cable cars have roller brakes but thesse small ones don't. And even if they did, The next car would still run into it and it would probably "decable" and fall down

@@nielsdaemen there are, it is mandatory for when the pull cable ruptures, in which case the emergency breaks of all units will trigger.

Erik Schernthaner Gut gesehen!

Then the cable car would roll down the cable and crash into the next one😰

🦊? 😂

Yes, most modern ones Have a single cable and they can have up to 10 persons per cabin

@@nielsdaemen I absolutely loathe modern 10-seater ones. They do nothing but promote extremism against and destroy already perfect old ropeways... and they take away all mechanical variety between ropeways. Modern corporate global Devilmayr/Leitnazier/Pomaleficent/Bartholet trash ropeways have nothing different to them and are all the same. Old ropeways from the 20th century are far more important and interesting because they are different due to how many manufacturers there were then. They're far simpler than modern crap as well actually and are more respectful to nature because of their more basic mechanical designs(less parts need to be remade) and they are not as wide as modern ones are. The old ropeways will last forever too... in Germany there are some 60+ year old ropeways still going strong.

@@CBF1 Still I like the mordern one's Better, they are faster higher capacity and smoother!

@@nielsdaemen I could care less about that, that's no excuse for extremism against the old ones. I have actually ridden a 1980's Doppelmayr lift that is smoother... made barely any noise crossing over the pylons. But whatever, I cannot control one's opinion. I do intend to in the future control which ropeways exist and which don't...

@@CBF1 The new Nebelhorn banh in Oberstdorf is great!

When the black knop is pushed up, it releases from the cable, what don't you understand?

@@nielsdaemen show me

When the cable car arrives in the station a rail pushes down on a lever wich opens the clamp to release the cable ( like a pair of pliers) then once detached rubber wheels slow the cable car down and push it round the station whiles rolling on rail, as it leaves the station the process repeats in reverse. The tractor cable is hauled with a big haul wheel and is powered at the top station. The rubber wheels are usually powered by a drivetrain connected to a wheel which spins using the cable.
