Our SCJ Cable-Propelled Transit Team recently completed the design certification of this detachable quad chair lift that was originally installed in Europe. The lift was disassembled, transported in 30 shipping containers to the Pacific Northwest, and reassembled on new foundations. The lift simultaneously received an upgraded drive, a new control system, and a number of mechanical improvements.
SCJ served as the Engineer-of-Record for the lift relocation, provided structural analysis for the tower and terminal foundations, oversaw the control system design and installation, and observed the lift commissioning. “This chairlift is going to be a dramatic improvement for Mission Ridge, our pass holders, and our guests,” the Resort said in a statement on opening day. “We have always had amazing natural beauty and exceptional skiing conditions, but this lift is going to be truly transformational.”
