The Satellite terminal was only used in Europe, it's completely different from the Omega. Since the Leitner-Poma merger, they might only b using the Leitner style that Cameron posted above

I think that they are somewhat similar. They do use the same chair and grip, right? I'm pretty sure that Poma only uses the Satellite terminals in Europe. The Omega is in North America. I bet they could cross-order, but that probably wouldn't benefit much.

Isn't it odd that "politics" is made up of the word "poli" meaning many, and "tics" meaning blood-sucking creatures?

Well from what cameron has said since the merger it is almost all leitner ideas and designs for their new lifts over in europe. Its always easier to just have one product than 2.

Is the terminal over in europe that looks like it has a flying saucer on top of it a satellite? Or even a poma for that matter? I saw a pic a while back but havent seen any since.

It's the only terminal that I have seen like that. I think the resort had it customized because there is one resort in Austria that does have alien and UFO stuff and they epxress it on their lifts.
