Anyone know why only some modern Doppelmayr Alpenstar’s have those chairlift catchers (for a lack of a better word) right before the top bullwheels? I see them all of the time on European Doppelmayr fixed grips but seem somewhat rare in North America

I work at Mont-Bechervaise in Gaspe. We have the same chairlift and it`s for measuring the speed and wind direction.
