It does, in fact, it appears that most of the tension carriage at the return is also yan. Curious as to where all the parts came from.

So if this is a portable lift how do they do it with the towers? Are there foundations poured at both locations?

Isn’t there a CTEC in the rotation that sometimes goes to the LA and San Diego county fairs?

I went this weekend and it said Garventa CTEC on it. It looked pretty similar to my memory though.
