Is this a double loading system, or something else?

I think that's the maintainance rail on Doppelmayr high speed quads from the late 80s

[spunkyskier01]

but that lift is from 96-98

I think you are right floridaskier?

There is an other post topic some where about this. It is an integrated grip mantinace facility. The mantinace rail is simply inclosed by the terminal skin to provide a small shop for grips to be serviced in. The most recent lift equiped like this is the 8-pack at Puriser Blue, a 2004 Uni-g, only its at the top terminal.

those lifts at telluride were installed b/w 1999-2001

the top terminals are normal though

I'm planning to get a ski day in while i'm in Australia later this year, so hopefully i'll remeber that and snap a photo of the rail. I plan on Skiing Perisher Blue.

World's shortest 8 seater?! I rode it....they have an extended terminal as well. There is an office and a grip maintenance bay in the extended part of the terminal...pretty neat machine! Lots o' room

I just remembered seeing that on the HSQs at Vail

OK- the first Telluride photo is of the Village Lift #4 that was built in 1999. The Ute Park Lift #11 was constructed in 2001.

Lift 4 does indeed have a small maintenance bay built onto the rear end of the bottom return terminal for grip and carrier maintenance.

most of vail's doppelmayr HSQs were built in the mid to late 1980's

Neat idea on the grip service bay. I built one this year but it's sort of slapped together and barely has enough room for what I need to do. I'd never seen one integrated into the terminal construction before these photos.
