skylift
Mountain cable car
A skylift is a mechanical device that raises people or materials to elevated positions—typically an aerial lift, cherry picker, or similar equipment used in construction, maintenance, or rescue operations.
The term also applies to certain ski lifts or gondolas that transport passengers up mountains.
Workers used a skylift to repair the power lines.
