That's the same style of terminal as L-lift- it's unique in that the I-beams that the motor house sits on are not fixed to the support pylons as they are on other lifts; rather, they move on rollers as the carriage rather than supporting the carriage.

I found it especially amusing that poma esentially repossessed the lift when Pikes Peak defaulted on their payments to poma. It would be amusing to be there when the repo men came up and knocked on the office door.

Theres a place for all of God's creatures, right next to the mashed potatoes.
"You could say that a mountain is alot like a woman, once you think you know every inch of her and you're about to dip your skis into some soft, deep powder...Bam, you've got two broken legs, cracked ribs and you pay your $20 just to let her punch your lift ticket all over again"

All lifts have a tensioning system.
Do you suppose the repo men show up with a helicopter and a bunch of cutting torches? :---:
