How does a cliff lift work?

A cliff lift, also known as a funicular or inclined lift, operates by using a cable system to transport passengers between different elevations on a steep slope. It typically consists of two carriages that are connected by a cable, with one carriage ascending while the other descends, utilizing gravitational forces to balance the load. The system is powered by a motor that controls the movement along a track, ensuring a smooth and safe ride. Cliff lifts are often used in hilly or coastal areas to provide easy access to elevated locations.
