Section 7.463. Location

The location of T-bar lifts, J-bar lifts, platter lifts, and similar devices is subject to the requirements specified for single and double reversible aerial tramways in § 7.423 (relating to location). In addition, the location shall be selected so that the ski track will always have, or may be made to have, a level or an upward slope. No reverse slopes are permitted except for very mild inclines at loading and unloading points. Selection of the site shall also involve consideration of the maximum permissible slope of the ski track. In no case shall it be steeper than a grade of 100% for single towing outfits, or 80% for double towing outfits. Surface water which might make icy tracks shall be avoided. The site selected shall avoid the intersection of the lift line with possible ski trails.
