Drone-Based Rapid Mini-Tramway Construction Service for Logistics.
The post introduces an intriguing idea: using quadcopter drones with robotic arms to build short aerial tramways for small package delivery. This could open up a B2B service opportunity for quick and specialized infrastructure deployment, especially in logistics, remote areas, or places where traditional construction is tough. The service would use custom-designed drones and robotic systems for setup. The expected benefits include faster, potentially cheaper, and more adaptable installation of light-duty package transport systems for niche industrial or commercial uses.

Drones could be used to build a small package tramway
Posted by u/pauljs75•05/31/2025
It should be possible for a quadcopter drone with the right kind of robotic arm attachment to build a short haul (as less than a mile or 2.2Km) aerial tramway. It would require finding points

Misremembered the rough conversion... My bad. Thought it was 2.2, when it apparently is 1.6.
Meh... Might have had nautical rather than standard when doing that?

What is the usecase of this tramway that couldn't be accomplished either by constructing it without drones, or directly delivering packages with the drones?

1. Drones cannot securely attach pulleys to random objects.
2. The thoroughput of pulling items along a paracord is tiny.
3. Any significant distance would either require two high points and

A cable transport may be efficient and quick, but I don't see one attached by drones being anywhere close to the capability of one constructed via traditional means. My rough guess is anythin

2.2 is pounds to the kilo, maybe you were thinking of that.

Ok so, I see a few issues here.
First, the drone would need to be capable of hauling a spool of material, which won't be light.
It needs an end effector that can accurately interface with w

Potential use case: fly by wire drones being used in Ukraine. Limited by the mass of the wire you could have "pylon" drones along the length supporting it. Of course to extend your range you

I would think it would be pretty efficient for a fixed delivery between two locations. And depending on the construction it may be able to carry more than a drone. It would just be somewhat q

1. Drones cannot securely attach pulleys to random objects.
2. The thoroughput of pulling items along a paracord is tiny.
3. Any significant distance would either require two high points and

The robotic arm you speak of is really difficult. What you are perhaps imagining only works in cartoons.
Perhaps if every box where identical you might find a way.

A cable transport may be efficient and quick, but I don't see one attached by drones being anywhere close to the capability of one constructed via traditional means. My rough guess is anythin

What is the usecase of this tramway that couldn't be accomplished either by constructing it without drones, or directly delivering packages with the drones?

Misremembered the rough conversion... My bad. Thought it was 2.2, when it apparently is 1.6.
Meh... Might have had nautical rather than standard when doing that?

Ok so, I see a few issues here.
First, the drone would need to be capable of hauling a spool of material, which won't be light.
It needs an end effector that can accurately interface with w

2.2 is pounds to the kilo, maybe you were thinking of that.
