The early Doppelmayr detachables quads are able to run at which speed ??? I know that the ForeRunner Quad at Stowe is pretty fast for a 1986 HSQ. Looks like it goes over 4.5 meters/sec

What about Poma

Today, what is the fastest speed that a UNI-G Doppelmayr could go ?

[SkiBachelor]

The fastest speed which a Doppelmayr HSL can travel is 6 m/s or 1181 f/s.

What about Poma ???

[edmontonguy]

i don't know if 1990 is early but the Eagle express @ marmot runs at 1000 ft/min while the early 90's angel express @ sunshine runs at 984 ft/min

I would consider 1990 early,its 14 years ago and we've come a long way since then

I thought that the Angel Express Quad @ Sunshine was build in 1988

[edmontonguy]

yeah i got it wrong i beleive its the oldest HSQ in Alberta

[SkiBachelor]

A line speed of 5.08 was used on many lifts in 1988 from looking at my installation sheets.

[Eric]

What about today ? How fast a Poma-Leitner could run ?

[edmontonguy]

I don't think any faster than 5.5 m/s is used. Thats getting prety fast for a chair! Though the Phatboy Sunshine gondola runs @ 6.1 m/s which i beleive is probably the upper limit of these terminals.

Poma, at least, used that as their design speed from the early days. The Flyer (1986), Summit @ WP (1985) and Pioneer @WP (1986) all have 5.08 in their profiles. Just for convenience's sake- 5.08 m/s = 1000 FPM.
