English term or phrase: rope train
I am translating a document translated from German and here is another pearl I cannot find anywhere: "rope train" e. g. "Farther the customer places at disposal the assembly aids, as for example forklift truck, crane, compressed air, rope trains and so one.." Have you got any idea what it could be?

Thank you!

Explanation:
A literal translation back to German would be Seilzug, I believe, which is a wire rope hoist in English. According to the context that you provided, we are looking for lifting equipment to assist in erection, so this could be it.
