This Riblet has a fixed top drive terminal with tensioning at the bottom.It is also the newest lift at Mt. Waterman as of 2017.Breakover towers.Relatively short lift line.View up towards the top terminal.Bottom terminal with tensioning and bullwheel loading.View up from the base.Concrete counterweight.
When I went there in 2024 chair 2 didn’t have one either. The I realized that they have the operator buttons to stop the lift are in a box at the bottom terminal of chair 2 and 3. If you go to the second to last picture on here on this lift the white box right there is where the operator buttons are. They unlock it when they are using the lift and the operator control buttons are in there.
All lifts have operator controls outside. Code requires at least a stop button at anyplace an operator might be- the load board, the shack, and so forth.
I do find it odd that there’s not lift shack, definitely. Where is the op going to warm up if he or she gets a break?

Why is there no lift shack at the bottom?
