Abstract
A cable transportation system bogie extends along a longitudinal axis and has a main frame defining a supporting surface; a platform configured to support at least one car; and an articulated mechanism connected to the main frame and the platform, and configured to transmit pulling force between the main frame and the platform, and to permit movement of the platform with respect to the main frame in any direction.
Claims21
A cable transportation system bogie extending along a longitudinal axis, said cable transportation system bogie comprising:
