I'm just wondering if anyone knows how a "Floating Bullwheel" Works.
Thanks!

- -Poma may be the new Quad, and Doppelmayr may be the last single, but Yan will always be the superior in detachables.
If in doubt, don't fall and roll unless you're in a Von Roll.

In contrast to Poma's chairlifts, where the floating bullwheel was rarely used, this type of top station was standard on Poma surface lifts.

There is at least a couple left in the US. Such as the blue lift at Nubs Nob.

The frankenstein Bull Lift at Lutsen might also have a floating return on the top terminal. I have forgotten.

Repeat of what happened at Keystone in 1985?
Neither the tensioning cables nor the haul rope snapped at Keystone in 1985.

One big reason for their demise is that it is impossible to do bullwheel unloading with them. They also make access difficult.
