Reciprocating passenger ropeway: mainly used to cross large rivers, rivers and canyons, the span can reach more than 1000 meters, and has a certain wind resistance. It can adapt to very complex terrain, crossing rivers, ditches and streams in a long span, and has a strong climbing ability of more than 45 degrees.

Its principle is composed of sealed steel wire rope track cable (bearing cable), by the traction cable drive two (or two groups of) car on the track cable reciprocating operation.

Reciprocating ropeway in the line left and right sides each have a car, two cars in the same traction cable traction along their respective load cable up and down the reciprocating operation. As one car moves from the next station to the next, the other car moves from the top station to the next.

Reciprocating rope-way has the bearing cable, so its span can be large, can adapt to the complex terrain conditions. But this kind of ropeway, wire rope, high cost, reciprocating ropeway company transport can be smaller, and the transport volume and the length of the line is inversely proportional, these factors limit its development.
