A conveying installation that is positionable over an oblique slope of an opencast mine pit may be used to convey raw materials from a lower height level on an extraction level of the opencast mine to an upper height level at a ground level adjacent to the opencast mine pit. At least one conveying container can be loaded with raw materials at the lower height level and unloaded at the upper height level. At least one bearing cable for load-bearing and control and one traction cable for moving the conveying container may be provided. At least at the upper height level, a support element may be disposed, to which the bearing cable is attached and on which the traction cable is guided.

A load transport system having a load carrier and at least one load receiving device which for receiving the load is fastened to the load carrier, and at least three positioning cables and at least three suspension devices, each suspension device has at least one positioning cable winch for winding and unwinding one of the positioning cables. The load carrier is suspended from the suspension devices by the positioning cables. The load carrier and the load receiving device fastened thereto are relocatable by activating the positioning cable winches, and the load carrier has at least one multi-cable suspension to which at least two of the positioning cables are connected via cable connectors. Each of the cable connectors is mounted on the multi-cable suspension to be pivotable about at least two pivot axes aligned to be mutually orthogonal, and all pivot axes of the cable connectors intersect in a common intersection point of this multi-cable suspension.

An aerial movement system and method for calibrating same includes, generally, registration points and wireless position transceivers proximate the registration points and the object that communicate with a computer and allow for the computer to determine the appropriate amount of support lines to draw in or release.

A trolley for lifting and/or moving a load on lines and an installation and method using it are disclosed. The trolley includes first and second side plates and sheave assemblies. Each sheave assembly includes a sheave axle with an axle shaft projecting from the first plate, a sheave cartridge on the axle shaft between the plates. Each sheave cartridge includes a pulley wheel rotatable on a bearing around an axis of the axle shaft. The axes of the shafts are parallel to one another. Retention fasteners extend thought the second plate to secure the second and first plates through the axle shafts. An installation includes a trolley and main line extending between two fixed anchorages. In use, the main line passes between the plates of the trolley, the main line contacts a sheave or pulley wheel of the trolley whereby the trolley can travel along the main line.

The present disclosure refers to aerial systems for cameras, typically for stabilized cameras, and also called suspended camera systems, which allow to move a camera through a three-dimensional space by means of cables. The present disclosure includes an aerial system for a camera, which comprises a main axle and at least three arm axles, the arm axles being perpendicular to and independently rotatable around said main axle. The arm axles are coupled to arms which in turn couple to a cable which is fed and reeled from a main reel for feeding and reeling a cable, and, upon coupling of a cable to each arm, the cables support a camera head coupled to the said means for coupling. The solution of the present disclosure enables, including through the provision of arm axles which rotate in relation to a main axle and independently from each other, to reach a wider area.
