Single-span mobile aerial ropeways, formed by two autonomous self-propelled units connected by a single rope system on the basis of wheeled chassis of high load capacity and cross-country ability, are a promising type of transport equipment for the sustainable development of hard-to-reach territories that do not have the necessary transport and logistics infrastructure. They can also be effectively used for rapid deployment during transport operations in the foci of natural or man-made disasters. The chapter presents the main promising types of structural design of autonomous units (with a central, end and remote locations of the end tower; with lifting of the end tower by means of a hydraulic cylinder, folding rod and two-stage installation) and options for placing multi-axle wheeled chassis on the bearing frame of the main technological equipment of the ropeway for various installation options and fixing in the working position of the end tower. The principles of operation of these units at the stage of deployment from the transport position to the working position and the stage of regular operation are described. A comparative analysis of the functional advantages of the considered types of autonomous units is carried out. The chapter will be of interest to researchers and production specialists in the field of design and operation of transport rope systems.
