edit: a little pic to help
the catch car is the blue line and in fact it's just a normal chain that can move in the two direction.

I have no idea what this does either.
Those are just gears for the cable to run on but don't really do anything but keep the cable in line with the lift.
it's basically a long catch cable atachted to a really long wire that runs on a wheel that rotates to drag the cable up and down.

Nope...I'm pretty sure Superman Ride of Steel in SF New England has one. I love hw we're all naming off coasters with cable lifts.

The reason why MF/inventor of the cable lift used one is because a chain would be extremely heavy and costly. A cable is a lot lighter and doesnt add strain to the structure.

Which is the basic idea of statics.It may not add notable stress, but anything that applies a force to the structure affects the structure.
