Ropeway classification:

1. Single-line type, using a steel cable to simultaneously support the weight of the crane and the towing crane or chairlift.

2. Multi-line type, using multiple steel cables. One or two cables used to support the weight of the crane will not move, while the other cables are responsible for pulling the crane.

3. Reciprocating type, there is only a pair of cranes on the ropeway. When one of them goes up the mountain, the other one goes down. After the two cars arrived at the station, they walked in opposite directions.

4. Circular type, there will be multiple cranes on the ropeway, and the steel cable pulled is an infinite circle, which is set on the driving wheels and detour wheels at both ends. When the crane or chairlift reaches the end point from the starting point, it will return to the starting point through a circuitous cycle.

5. Fixed rope type, the crane or chairlift will not release the wire rope during normal operation, so the speed of all cranes on the same wire rope will be the same. In some fixed-cable ropeways, the cranes are evenly distributed on the entire steel cable, and the steel cable travels at a fixed speed.

6. Detachable type, also known as detachable type. The crane is held by a spring-controlled clamp on the pulling wire rope. When the crane arrives at the station, the crane's clamps holding the wire rope will be released, and the crane will slow down to allow passengers to get on and off. Before leaving the station, the crane will be mechanically accelerated to the same speed as the steel cable. The clamps on the crane will then tighten the steel cable and leave in a cycle.

Among them, Zhongtianmen Cableway, Houshiwu Cableway and Taohuayuan Cableway are single-loading and double-traction reciprocating passenger cableways.
