Abstract: A cableway installation including a travel cable, a vehicle suspended therefrom, boarding and disembarking points, an aerial carrier configured to support and drive the travel cable, a mobile conductor disposed on the vehicle, a fixed conductor disposed on the aerial carrier adjacent to the travel cable and in an area proximate to at least one of the boarding and disembarking points, the fixed conductor including a first fixed contact element connected to a low voltage electric supply and a first plurality of flexible conductive contact wires extending from the fixed conductor along a longitudinal length of at least one side of the travel cable, where the mobile conductor is disposed so as to the contact the first plurality of flexible conductive contact wires and establish electrical contact with the first fixed contact element and with the low voltage electric supply when the vehicle is transported between the boarding and disembarking points.

Abstract: A safety system for a chair of a mechanical lift installation comprises a magnetic device able to occupy a retaining position of a passenger embarked on said chair when the chair is outside the unloading areas, and a released position when passing in an unloading area.

Abstract: The invention relates to a ski lift facility including, in particular, means for guiding and driving an overhead carrying and traction cable (5) from which vehicles are suspended, and including at least one boarding area and at least one disembarking area. According to the invention, the facility also includes a device for sequentially powering a vehicle including a stationary electrical conductor (20) connected to a low-voltage power supply, including a plurality of flexible conductor contact wires arranged on at least one of the means for guiding and driving the overhead cable and a mobile conductor on board the vehicle making it possible to establish electrical contact when the mobile conductor (20) comes into contact with the contact wires of the stationary electrical conductor.

Abstract: A safety system for a chair (10) of a mechanical lift installation comprises magnetic means able to occupy a retaining position of a passenger (17) embarked on said chair (10) when the chair (10) is outside the unloading areas, and a released position when passing in an unloading area. The invention also relates to a method for implementing the safety system.
