The ski lift / ropeway industry requires unique brake systems as the variables are typically different for each project. The length of the ski hill dictates the length of the Ski Lift and thus the capacity of the equipment. The brake systems require gradual soft stopping to avoid having people fall down or become injured. The recent designs we have provided include the soft stop on Ski Chair Lifts to avoid excess swing in the Chairs.
Drive Systems
Our brakes can be utilized for dynamic stopping, emergency stop, or both. Johnson caliper disc brakes can be electric, air, or hydraulic. The stopping time can be adjusted to suit any application where a gentle soft stop is required.
