The Double Loading Six Person Ski Lift
|
In 1999, Poma was contracted to install the first double loading lift system
in the United States. The new six-person ski lift replaced the Quick Silver
Quad chair, which was the first high-speed quad in the world.
Quick Silver Super Six Stats: Speed 1,100 FPM; Length 5,600 feet;
Vertical Rise 632 feet

Here is the side view of the chair terminal.

It passes through 2 depression sheave trains and
enters the terminal.
|
This is the point where the chairs are queued to
either one of the two loading docks.

Here is a close-up of the Poma detachable grip.

The chair rounds the station

The chair enters the terminal and the black metal
strip at the top of the picture pushes on the coiled
springs and the chair detaches from the cable.

Here is a view of the two loading areas.

Next, the chairs alternate between two loading
stations.

The old Poma detachable grip still found
on many ski lifts in Colorado!
