Aerial Ropeway, cargo cable car

Instead of minecarts or trains I propose an Aerial Ropeway like this.

The way it could work would be a two terminal system and require two beavers to operate one end would be the receiver from haulers and the other end would be the pick up. The beaver on the receiving end would load the gondola and the beaver on the pickup end would unload the gondola.

If the receiving end is above the pickup end at a ratio 2 blocks up for every four horizontal or steeper then the system operates for free.

If the slope is shallower than that or even flat than it requires 50 hp.

If the Pickup end is above the receiver than it should require 100 hp for the first two blocks up and an addional 50 hp for each addional verticle block regardless of how steep it is.

The receiving end can also be the location that accepts power.
