4.2.3. Braking

Regulation (EU) 2016/424 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2016 on cableway installations and repealing Directive 2000/9/EC (Text with EEA relevance) · European Union

4.2.3.1. In an emergency, it shall be possible to shut down the cableway installation and/or the vehicles at any moment, under the most unfavourable conditions in terms of authorised load and pulley adhesion during operation. The stopping distance shall be as short as the security of the cableway installation dictates. 4.2.3.2. Deceleration values shall be within adequate limits fixed in such a way as to ensure both the safety of the persons and the satisfactory behaviour of the vehicles, cables and other parts of the cableway installation. 4.2.3.3. In all cableway installations there shall be two or more braking systems, each capable of bringing the cableway installation to a halt, and coordinated in such a way that they automatically replace the active system when its efficiency becomes inadequate. The cableway installation's last braking system shall act as close as possible to the traction cable. These provisions do not apply to drag lifts. 4.2.3.4. The cableway installation shall be fitted with an effective clamp and locking mechanism to guard against premature restarts.
