Attached! You can't see the electric motor though, which is out of the frame at the bottom of the pic.

IMO, the only good looking terminal Poma ever made.
Ski Instructor at Thunder Ridge... 300 vertical feet 45 minutes north of New York City. 3 Borvig chairs from the 60s and early 70s.

Least favorite - long quad detachables. With a big electric motor, big diesel, and little diesel evac there is little room to do anything in the terminal.
Anything is possible when you don't understand what you are talking about.

My drive terminal. No equipment save the conveyors and brakes, since everything else is in the vault. The vault itself is big enough to use as a workshop even with two electric motors, their drives, a gearbox, and a massive aux engine. Other than that it's a toss-up between the Poma fixed-grip drives (Delta or Alpha) and the standard YAN box-on-rails. The Poma gets the edge simply because of aesthetics.
