Random Lift Pictures Number 3

KZ's Photo KZ 18 May 2004

I think it might be a Minor Denver, or maybe a heron because the Jigback tram had original chairs sort of like those.

The towers and chairs seem like they match with a triple at Silver Star that was posted earlier. Towers don't seem like a poma. My guess would be mueller.

If you look closely the chair's main carrier arm is a lot thicker on the Bigwhite Mueller. Also the supporting arm is alot shorter and is bent different on meuller chairs of similar design.

(sorry if i didn't make sense as the terminoloogy might be flawed)

Carriers appear to be rare Muellers. Grip looks like a different version of the Riblet clip. Towers look like SLI models, while the sheave assemblies look like Heron or earlier Poma. In short- I don't know what it is. Maybe a Staedeli?

Can a lift still have floating bullwheels or is that not allowed by the government anymore

Now that would certainly be banned by the government for stupidity as well as safety.

There's still code entries for floating bullwheels - so they must be allowed still.

haha, no offence but that is pretty crappy, looks like my work. Only one minor flaw: its the thunderbound lift at Mammoth. I did a pretty crappy one awhile back of the Disney lift at Sugar bowl put into the Silver Star village. Funny how long it took to guess, but thats the magic of negative colors.

I've actually done some photoshop stuff in the past to see what a lift would look like if a high-speed quad went it. I also did some lift trivia placing the Saddleback lift at The Canyons at Deer Valley. Tyler actually got it, be he was confuesed.
