IA Study Concerning the Revision of the Cableways Directive Table 2.1: Descriptions of Types of Cableway Installations the line’ between terminals. Aerial Tramway: An aerial tramway uses large carriers or cabins and travels high above ground. The carrier(s) -- one or single reversible, two or double reversible travel between terminals, stop, reverse direction and travel back on the same, usually stationary and counter weighted, track rope. Carriers are said to reciprocate between terminals. These systems are commonly referred to as "reversibles". Funitel is a special type passenger cableway which is based on cabins supported by two ropes. Combined installations: combined installations unite elements of several cableway types, such as those of gondolas and chairlifts. Drag Lifts (also called Surface Lift): Surface lifts are largely used in ski areas to move skiers (although summer use is also possible) by means of an overhead haulage rope with attached towing devices. Further designation is by carrier type; e.g., disc, J-bar, T-bar, etc. Drag Lifts can be both fixed grip and detachable.

Table 2.3 below sets out the number of cableways installed in various world regions between 2001 and 2010 based on information available from www.lift-world.info. Although there are uncertainties associated with the accuracy and reliability of the data provided, it does highlight that the Alps account for the highest proportion of new lifts by volume. As can be seen from Figure 2.1, Eastern Europe and central Asia have become growing markets for cableway installations in recent years. Page 4

Data by OITAF (published in DARE, 2009) indicate that there are around 17,500 cableway installations in Europe; these make up around 60% of the estimated 30,000 cableway installations worldwide. The main European markets for cableways are France, Austria, Italy, Germany and Switzerland; together these markets account for over 50% of all cableway installations in Europe and are considered further below.
