A chair lift is made up of two stations, one departure and one arrival, as well as pylons, a load-bearing cable, and chairs. Each chair is equipped with a “grip” that pinches the cable. Then, when the lift is in operation, the cable is pulled along by the motor in the station and the chairs are moved along the line.
How does a ski lift work?
A ski lift uses an electric motor to drive around a steel cable that is mounted at the bottom, on the way up, and at the top of the slope. Ski lift chairs, gondolas, cable cars, or t-bars are connected to the steel cable and transports the skiers up to the top.
