What is chairlift?
Most of the ski centers are in the form of a chair, the camps and the ones running between the settlements are mostly a small cable car type. The cabins are called Gondola or Telekabin in some countries. In some places both chairs and cabins can be located on the same line. The chairlifts are divided into 2 types with fixed and detachable clamps. Fixed clamp lifts are used with maximum 3 mt / sec speed and 2 / 4 / 6 seats. The high speed and capacity lifts with detachable clamps are available with 6 mt./sn speed and 4 / 6 / 8 seats.
