The aerial cable transport system includes a cable clamp which has a pair of jaws (13,14) which grip the cable and a control lever (17) for opening and closing the clamp (16). A spring (23) which is tensioned when the clamp is closed (16) is attached to a point on the lever (17). A control ramp (28) extends along the trajectory of the clamps control lever and cooperates with it so as to control opening and closing of the clamp jaws (13,14). A measuring unit (24) made up of parts (31,34,35) is connected to the lever (17). A sensor (31,35) is mounted in fixed position, at output of the lower station in relation to sense of displacement of the cable clamp to cooperate without mechanical contact with a preset point (33,37) on the lever (17) between the spring (23) anchoring point and the moving jaw (14). The sensor delivers, during passage of the clamp, a signal which represents the relative position of the preset point (33,37) with respect to the sensor. A processor receives the signal and deduces the elastic deformation of the control lever under the action of the clamping force.
