Cable transport refers to the broad class of transport modes that rely on vehicles pulled by cables, rather than having an internal power source. The use of pulleys and balancing of loads going up and down are sometimes elements of cable transport.
Infrastructure includes the transport networks (roads, railways, airways, canals, pipelines, etc.) that are used, as well as the nodes or terminals (such as airports, railway stations, bus stations and seaports).
The growth in transport would be impossible without communication, which is vital for advanced transportation systems, from railroads which want to run trains in two directions on a single track, to air traffic control which requires knowing the location of aircraft in the sky.
Transport is a major use of energy, and transport burns most of the world's petroleum.
A device for the transporting of cable sections is provided where cables (19), with a length of up to about 10 meters, are transported step by step from processing station to processing station along a cable-processing line with a processing station disposed on the two sides of the cable-processing line.
A cable (19), gripped on one side by a stationary gripper (15), is discharged with a cable feed device with the aid of an insertable deflector (49) into a receiver provision (11) for forming a cable bundle (20).
The two cable ends 21, 22 of the cable bundle 20 are gripped by grippers 15', 16' of the stationary gripper module 13', 14' and by the gripper 18 of the transfer module 17.
