This relatively short bubble lift replaced an older Doppelmayr detachable in 2022.Loading area.Six seat bubble chair.View riding out of the bottom terminal.Tower 2.Tower 4.Support tower 5.Hold down tower 6.Breakover towers near the summit.Arriving at the summit of Camelback Mountain.Side view of the top terminal.View from the summit.Looking down the convex lift line.D-Line chair with red springs.Lower part of the lift line.View up the middle part of the line.Big combination assemblies on tower 3.Bottom terminal.Side view of the turnaround area.Lift overview.Downhill chair with closed bubble.View back down the line.Unloading area.A storage facility can house all chairs next to the top station.Side view of the return terminal.
Why is the seat design not the same as seen on other D-Line bubble lifts? Is it an add on to get the race shaped seats? Also assuming by the length of the terminals this does not have auto locking bars.
Much like Leitner, the ‘race’ or premium seats are an option. Kanc8 and Ramcharger have them but I can imagine they cost a fair amount more. As for the auto-locking footrests, the length of the terminal should not have anything to do with them.
The locking bar system does require a terminal extension to ensure space for the mechanism, generally, an additional 2m section is needed on top of whatever length was needed without it for a given lift.
This lift itself looks so nice; but what were they thinking with that text on the bottom terminal? Very ugly in my opinion, am I the only one who thinks this or?
Because this probably wasn’t 100% manufactured in Wolfurt. I might be incorrect, but these towers look like they were manufactured in North America, like you mentioned, an uncommon attribute for Doppelmayr D-Lines.
The conical towers are made at Gassner in Bürs, Austria, not Wolfurt. Correct these towers look North American in origin, at least the tubes. Doppelmayr has a bunch of different production facilities that produce parts for different lifts depending on demand. Often one lift has parts from different countries.
Peter, yeah I was referring to the tubes and thanks for clarifying where the conicals are made. No doubt Doppelmayr produces parts all over the globe(no differently than others) but it would be great to see them involve more North America manufacturing, especially seeing how much detachable business they do here.
If this is the start, I hope they keep bringing it on.

Probably shipping delays from Wolfurt, not sure about the rest

Does this lift have a Direct Drive?

Zooming in on some of the pictures, it doesn’t look like it. You can see the normal setup with the AC motor/high speed shaft/ service disc.

I’ve been seeing comments on their instagram that there is a crack in the foundation of this lift and they have not addressed it
