Here put links or info about the first prototype of a type of lift Ex: Saas Fee Alpin Express (first official 3S) http://www.remontees...-roll-3235.html

Also I am sorry for so many posts, but I really want to know about this.

The general principal of a 3S lift is basically a tram, where the cabins complete a full circuit instead of going only back and forth.

The concept of track cable is essentially identical, and the concept of the haul cable is also not much different ...

The difference is in station design where the cabins are detached from the cable and moved through the station, then reattached for the journey back up (or down) the route.

It's a natural marriage of a mono/bi-cable gondola design, with a tram type design.
