A funicular system including a vehicle (21) supported for movement relative to a support surface (22), an endless haul rope (23) mounted in a plurality of support sheaves (26, 27, 28), and a grip assembly (24) coupled to the vehicle (21) and the haul rope (23), and formed for the passage of the grip assembly (24) over the support sheaves (26, 27, 28) without significant relative displacement between the haule rope (23) and the support sheaves (26, 27, 28). The grip assembly has a linear array of band assemblies (41a-n) which encircle the haul rope (23) and have a relatively thin thickness dimension, and are clamped to the haul rope by a clamp (32) and coupled by a flexible link (56) to the undercarriage (59) of the vehicle (21). |
