Oh ok thanks. Loveland's Chair 2 has an interesting looking grip at least from what I remember, Are they a type 3?
The hanger of the carrier looks like it curves above the haul rope before attaching to the grip. I have not seen anything like it before but it may just be that I didnt pay much attention.
This isnt the best pic to display it but it gives the idea:

Were the type 6's widely used?
If I see any at other resorts I'll get as close of pics as I can and I'll be at Loveland the last week of the month and I'll get the best pics I can.

So no they aren't really widely used today but they may have been a bit more common in the late-80s to the mid-90s. They are very unique qrips the type 6's.

Here's a pic of a T. It's easy to tell the difference... D=Double chair grip, T=Triple chair grip. They look the same though.

My first post here, hi guys. Yan T grips are usually brown, D's are black. My hill has a Yan double with T grips. The lift was designed as a triple with double chairs, the idea was to upgrade to triple chairs later but it never happened.

All the Dopplamyear grips up at Snowbird are just gavenized steel and are not painted at all. Is this universal in Dopp grips or did some get painted like Yan's?

Is Anyone still using type 3 grips? We had to replace them all on the one lift we had that used them as they were failing NDT inspection. The cast Stainless had started to fatigue.

The TB-81 carrier. Yan didn't galvanise these; he did 'bright finish' instead. The surface of the steel is slightly rainbow-hued as a result.

Isn't that Copper's Rendesvous lift?

The type 3s are still in use - maybe you guys had a bad batch?

Actually, according to the Yan Product Manual, the grips' colours are indicative of the rope size they are designed for. I forget what colour goes with what rope, but that's what it says.

We have two remaining; R-lift (1982) and S-lift (1983) We had another, triple-E (1984) but it was removed in favour of Excelerator in '98. We use the grips as spares on R and S. When we run out I don't know what we'll do as you can't repair those grips. Steamboat also has at least two lifts with type 3s.
Which of your lifts had the type 3s? I was under the impression all of your Yans were older than that.
Boeinglover- yes, that carrier is from R-lift.

I wa looking for something else and found this, so I figured I wuld add to it.
Black = 1 1/4" rope
Green = 1 3/8"
Brown = 1 1/2"
Gold = 42mm?
There are 1 3/8" grips for doubles and triples, as a matter of fact we have both here. To tell the difference between the two you look at the width of the mobile jaw by were the grip bolt passes thru. The triples are about 1/2" thicker. As for the type 3's we run about 220 of those also, they are ok and not 'outlawed' or anything like that. They did require 100% NDT a few years ago but we have never had any unusual problems with them. I like the d/t style better just because they are more maintencne friendly, and cheaper. (need replacing less)

Which part of the T is maintenance friendly?? The grinding off of the rivet heads and beating them out? haha! They're great aside from that :)

Yeah, that can be a pain in the ass, but here at least we have to do it a lot less than replacing the type 3 mobile jaws, the annual maintenance we do on the type 3's takes alot longer too with removing cleaning and measuring the spring washers (20% annually).
