In recent years, J-bars are no longer used in most ski areas. Some operators have combined T-bar and platter lifts, attaching both types of hanger to the cable, giving skiers and snowboarders a choice. Hangers designed to tow sledges uphill are installed on some slopes by operators, and some operators convert hangers in the summer to tow cyclists uphill. Available from accredited GALINTEL® distributors, the J-Bar™ is a convenient alternative to custom-made beams such as PFC and flat plate, which have to be fabricated and galvanized. The J-Bar™ was developed in response to demand from builders for an economical substitute for built-up steel sections such as parallel flange channel and plate. Similar to a T-bar but with a special top flange incorporated into the upright section, the GALINTEL® J-Bar* provides an off-the shelf solution for cavity walls and is hot dip galvanized.

The fixtures are strong and durable plus the thumb screw nuts means you don’t need special tools to put the bars on or take them off when not needed.

They are far easier to load, no less secure and support the boat adequately. Cradles may be preferable if you want to carry a boat supported on the hull, but I've never had any damage carrying boats sitting on the roof bars on their side - and that includes lightweight WWR race boats. As with all quality GALINTEL® products, the J-Bar™ Shelf Beam is provided with a full product warranty and safe load tables. Typical Uses Magic carpets are limited to shallow grades due to their dependence on friction between the carpet and the bottom of the ski or board. Their slow speed, limited distance, and capacity confines them to beginner and novice areas.Some other notable examples are the nearly 240-metre (800ft) carpet in Burnsville, USA, which has an overpass over a ski run, [17] We designed the roof bars with foam padding spacers to help reduce the risk of the kayak touching the steel bars and getting scratched.

( August 2022) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) The hull of a sea kayak is a bit too wide for V Bars which makes the boat sit a lot higher off the roof. The first T-bar lift in the United States was installed in 1940 at the Pico Mountain ski area. [14] It was considered a great improvement over the rope tow. An earlier T-bar was installed at Rib Mountain (now Granite Peak Ski Area), Wisconsin, in 1937. I found I was chipping gel coat from the bottom of my Taran against the top of my uprightsSounds like badly designed uprights, Jim! There are some with the loop on top running parallel to the roof bars - which means you can put straps round them from both sides without jamming one under the other - but if the loop is welded on the outside of the upright it can touch the boat unless the upright is well padded out. The solution is to have the loop parallel to the boats, and for two boats run one strap round both, going through the loop and under the roof bar. I prefer to do that even with one boat - if the upright fails, the boat is still strapped to the bar. (Another reason not to like J bars - the boat is only strapped to the J bar).Espacenet – AT145894B Schleppseilanlage für Skiläufer und Fußgänger". European Patent Office . Retrieved 2021-03-20. A magic carpet is a conveyor belt installed at the level of the snow. Some include a canopy or tunnel. Passengers slide onto the belt at the base of the hill and stand with skis or snowboard facing forward. The moving belt pulls the passengers uphill. At the top, the belt pushes the passengers onto the snow and they slide away. They are easier to use than T-bar lifts and Poma lifts. [15] Jeremy Davis.

The first surface lift was built in 1908 by German Robert Winterhalder in Schollach/ Eisenbach, Hochschwarzwald, Germany, and started operations February 14, 1908. [2]With J's (and indeed uprights) you'll get more boats on. I also find it easier to load off my shoulder onto J cradles on most cars. And it's easier to use the straps. But, for rear loading, the V is the answer, perhaps with a roller system. Tie down is more awkward though, and even more so on a tall MPV or van. Some form of ladder becomes necessary, which adds to the faff factor. The adjustable angle makes them extremely versatile and suitable for carrying a wide range of different craft from kayaks, SUP boards, surf boards, wind surfers and so much more. The Conwy Kayaks Folding Roof Bars are the perfect solution for when you want to regularly move Kayaks, SUP boards and more

A development of the simple rope tow is the handle tow (or pony lift), where plastic or metal handles are permanently attached to the rope. These handles are easier to grip than a rope, making the ski lift easier to ride. The longest carpet lift is a Sunkid carpet lift, 400-metre-long (1,300ft), installed at Alpine Centre, Bottrop, Germany. [16] The modern J-bar and T-bar mechanism was invented in 1934 by the Swiss engineer Ernst Constam, [10] [11] with the first lift installed in Davos, Switzerland. [12] J-bars were installed in the 1930s in North America and Australia, with the Ski Hoist at Charlotte Pass in Australia dating from 1938. [13] Platter lifts are often referred to as button lifts, and may occasionally feature rigid poles instead of recoiling cables.
