Instead of containers on a track, have a horizontal spinning wheel, suspendedoff the ground by cables, to a central pillar. At the top of the pillar would bea set of very large bearings to bear the load.No rolling friction or wear & tear on any wheels or track. There would be wear& tear on the bearings of course. There would also be balance issues.
