Devices, systems, and methods for a multi-winch lifting apparatus and load movement are disclosed. The lifting apparatus includes a mounting base. At least two lateral winches are attached to the mounting base. Each of these lateral winches includes its own lateral line. A lifting winch is also attached to the mounting base. The lifting winch also includes a lifting line.

An apparatus for moving ropeway vehicles in a ropeway system includes at least one conveying wheel being adjustable in height relative to the vehicles by a lifting device to be brought into abutment against the vehicles for displacing the vehicles along a track using the conveying wheel. An electric lifting device has an electric drive motor with a threaded sleeve or the like to be retained in its height position and rotated by the drive motor and a lifting spindle to be adjusted in height by the threaded sleeve for adjusting the conveying wheel in height. Upper and lower end surfaces of the threaded sleeve and the lifting spindle have stops located approximately in planes normal to the direction of rotation of the threaded sleeve or the like which, in upper and lower end positions of the lifting spindle, abut one another preventing further rotation of the threaded sleeve.

A lift system and method includes a first clamp assembly, a second clamp assembly, and a gear assembly including one or more gears. The lift system includes a lift housing having a housing cavity with a spool assembly disposed within the housing cavity. The spool assembly is coupled with the gear assembly that controls a direction of rotation of the spool assembly. A first strap extends between a first end coupled with the first clamp assembly and a second end coupled with the spool assembly. A second strap extends between a third end coupled with the second clamp assembly and a fourth end coupled with the spool assembly. The lift housing moves in a first direction responsive to the spool assembly rotating in a first direction of rotation, and the lift housing moves in a second direction responsive to the spool assembly rotating in a second direction of rotation.
