A large CTEC drive station.Loading area at the bottom.Another look at the bottom station.View up the lift line with CTEC tower heads on Carlevaro-Savio lattice supports.Unloading ramp.Return bullwheel.A lattice tower and a tube tower.View down at tower 15.Middle part of the line.Lower lift line.Tower 3.
I’ve never seen a quad running over old lattice towers designed for a double. I’m surprised that structurally that is okay. Are there others like this?
I’m pretty sure this lift actually has Garaventa-CTEC high speed quad line gauge, because it is wider than other fixed grip quads from the same manufacturer but slightly narrower than six-pack gauge.
Likely so the bails don’t clip the lattice tower heads. I wouldn’t be surprised if when the lift was built they intended on a high-speed replacement. The fact that they didn’t invest in new tower tubes or footings could be a sign of this, perhaps also the rather large mast on the drive could’ve been used as a support for a detachable terminal

This lift was the first and only Garaventa CTEC FG that has six-pack line gauge.
