A rail mounted slope traversing system is provided that accommodates varying angles of slope along the path of its movement, while maintaining a level transportation platform without the need of mechanical leveling devices or systems. As desired, the platform may be tilted for loading or unloading, as may be desired. The platform (2) may be connected to the rail (1) by means of wheels, the closest of which to the platform (2) is above the rail, and the other below the rail (1). Accordingly, the platform (2) is torqued downward to maintain contact between the wheels and the rail (1). As the slope of the terrain, and thus the rail (1), increases, the rail (1) is widened to maintain the platform (2) at level. As the slope decreases, the rail (1) is narrowed to the same effect.

L'invention concerne un système de transport monté sur rail destiné au transport en pente, pouvant être adapté à différente inclinaisons de pente le long de son chemin de déplacement, et permettant de conserver une plate-forme de transport à niveau sans nécessiter de dispositifs ou de systèmes de nivellement mécaniques. La plate-forme (2) peut être inclinée pour être chargée ou déchargée. La plate-forme (2) peut être reliée au rail (1) par des roues, la roue la plus proche de la plate-forme (2) étant située sur le rail et l'autre roue étant située sous le rail (1). Ainsi, la plate-forme (2) est soumise à un couple vers le bas pour conserver le contact entre les roues et le rail (1). Au fur et à mesure que la pente du terrain augmente, et que par conséquent l'inclinaison du rail (1) augmente, le rail (1) s'élargit pour maintenir la plate-forme (2) à niveau. Au fur et à mesure que la pente s'adoucit, le rail (2) rétrécit pour maintenir la plate-forme (2) à niveau.
