Do any other lifts have this chair design, as it appears to be unique for Poma. The chairs are shaped with the sides angled in like Doppelmayr chairs instead of vertical like the rest of Poma chairs of this era.
No, those date from before Poma and Leitner merged. I don’t recall exactly when they got them, but it was definitely before ’02 as it had them when I moved to CO. Think I remember the guys there saying it was in the late 90s.
Usually. if you’re just moving the carriage a little, say for a resplice, it doesn’t make much difference. If you’re replacing the haul rope or working on the bullwheel, it will need support.
How do the huge depression assemblies on base of these terminals work? Are they hinged and depress the rope purely based on the weight of the assembly? And if so, how does de-tensioning the lift work?

Why is the lift marked as a Yan if there are Poma parts with it

Terminals, towers, and tower heads are Yan. Only the chairs are Poma.

If there is a dictionary for ski lift terminology, the drive on this lift should be the illustration for “depression sheave assemblies”

Absolutely. J6 at June is very similar.
I’m curious. If you wanted to de-tension the lift. Would you have to put support under the end of it so it wouldn’t drop straight to the ground?
