Abstract

A rope guide system and for an aerial ropeway includes a haulage rope that travels along a path between two stations, and comprises two driving wheels 4.sub.1, 4.sub.2 disposed at one of the stations and laterally offset with respect to each other, which convey the haulage rope. Two inner deflector wheels 6.sub.1, 6.sub.2 direct the rope to cross over itself at a predetermined location to form inner and outer rope loops, and cooperate to direct the inner rope loop toward and away from the two driving wheels. A first reversing wheel 5.sub.1 is disposed at the other station, and the inner rope loop passes around it. Either two additional reversing wheels 5.sub.2, 5.sub.3 or a second, larger reversing wheel 5.sub.2, about which the outer loop passes, is/are disposed at the other station. Two outer deflector wheels direct the outer rope loop toward and away from either the two additional reversing wheels or the second reversing wheel.
