In the track vehicle 4, a fixed clip 6a and a movable clip 6b hold the rope 7 in between and the clip 6b receives the weight of the housing part 4b of the track vehicle 4 while also being subjected to the action of the elastic force of a combinedly provided spring body 19. And, a guide rail 22 for opening the clip 6b to take out the rope 7 is provided on the arriving area of each of two terminal stations while providing a guide rail 25 for closing the clip 6b to interposingly hold the rope 7 is provided in the starting area. Also, the track vehicle 4 from which the rope 7 is removed on the arriving area is introduced to the starting area by means of introducing chain devices A-C.
