Absolutely amazing all of the hardworking and effort put into these incredible machines! Love those drive sounds!

[@Seilbahn3]

Really impressing how silent ist inside the station

[@speLe0log]

This is now my favourite channel. Thank you, I am always amazed by the lift technologies.

[@LiftTech]

Thanks for watching!

I saw it yesterday. I am getting a lift terminal tour at Sunday River this weekend but I loved having everything exposed in that monster bottom terminal!

[@NortheasternP.T.S.]

I just got one of Ramcharger 8 today!

[@LiftTech]

A good opportunity to visit the equipment :)

[@tuphanlp]

Does 5000 represent 5000kg clamp pressure?

[@onarolldan]

Out of interest what do the bus bar rails charge or power when the chair is in the station ?

[@LiftTech]

Good question, at this station the power rails are used for powering a bus rail on the carrier of which heating elements are connected. 1 heating element per seat.

[@SimonBauer7]

@@LiftTech yes it is for heating the seats. the seats get heated in the stations/(s) and the remaining heat is enough to keep you warm for the rest of the journey

[@beet3870]

What are the pros of a double position grip? And how is the force of the clamp tested (for safety)?

[@LiftTech]

This design allows less actuation cycles saving on service life compared to other detachable grips. The grip force is measured as deflection measurements on a steel plate for the contact surface of the actuation roller.

[@aklrailfan2278]

The tires are a bit deflated

[@NortheasternP.T.S.]

Is that why it makes the squeaking noise?

[@LiftTech]

No. The tires are fine, its actually new rubber and wet traction plates on the grips. It was raining in November.
