Installation for transporting vehicles between stations, has intermediate section subdivided into sections, and grouping units, transfer units and drive units comprising single actuator synchronized with advancing speed of cable

摘要

The installation has a grouping section (S3) located between a slowing-down section (S1) and an intermediate section and equipped with a regrouping unit to constitute groups of a predetermined number of vehicles (10). A separating section (S4) of vehicles is located between the intermediate section and a speeding-up section (S5). The intermediate section is subdivided into two sections equipped with unloading stations (12) and loading stations (13), respectively, where the grouping units, transfer units, and drive units comprise a single actuator synchronized with advancing speed of a cable.
