Pneumatic tensioning? Do you mean hydraulic?

Most cylinder-based tensioning systems I've seen are hydraulic with a nitrogen accumulator.

So the Norway Yan is height adjustable. That seems to be somewhat common among Yans of the same design.

It could be pneumatics, but I know hydraulics to be more common in lift tensioning systems.

It's been bugging me lately because I really want to find out if the Lenawee Mountain has footrests :censored: . I also am curious to find out more about the Pallavicini lift (as I've only ridden on it once).

Norway, Exhibition, and moly hogan are all height adjustable.

-Pneumatic
-Bottled nitrogen
This design profile has very little active carriage travel.
Often this style of lift is run with the chain dog bottomed to save on nitrogen.
Chain dog is hidden in 90 degree turn of the chain.
Also-
Pure Nitrogen will displace Oxygen, quite lethal if you breathe it for any length of time.
Nitrogen should not be confused with nitrous oxide the gas your dentist uses.

Palvicini, also a 1979 Yan.

I believe there are five towers on this lift which only support the heavy side; very even profile for a lift.

Exhibition. This is the fourth or fifth lift to use this line; there are at least two different types of towerbases visible when the snow melts.

What different kinds of lifts were there along the line of Exhibition?

The original single chair was there an I belive a t-bar and a poma. At least one of the surface lifts was there at the same time as the single chair.

Actually when Brad and I were there this summer, we went into the lodge and looked at some of the old pictures from the area. It appears that there were two Miner-Denver lifts that run up the same lift line at Exhibition.

Oh ok, where did the single run then?

Or was the single replaced by the miner-denvers?

The Miner-Denver's probably replaced the single and POMA.

It's a Yan thing. Old B-1 had one, as do chairs 1 and 2 at Loveland.

At one point the Basin had two parallel Poma platters along the Exhibition line; one was replaced by the single.
