These chairlifts can seat up to eight people and transport skiers from the base lodge to either mid-mountain or the top of the mountain. Detachable Chairs Detachable chairs usually hold up to eight people and can be doubled, quad or six-pack. Some ski lifts have high-speed quads as the detachable chairs to make them faster. These high-speed quads have supportive towers and have a circulating rope cable. Breaking System on Detachable Each detachable chair’s has an electrically powered bull wheel. These bull wheels keep the cables moving, which will then redirect the detachable chair to the loading and unloading stations. The braking system of the detachable chair is a cam-braking structure, which is on the bull wheels and sheaves. The hydraulic rams create the tension, which constantly changes by weight, temperatur
