A ski lift is operated by a pulley; they need them to operate the lift; without them, there would only be a cable and chair lift floating in mid- air
T Bar That is a kind of ski lift. You often hear it being called a chair lift but this name does not apply to magic carpets, platter lifts or t bars, so the best name would be simply a lift, as this applies to all types of ski lifts.
Electricity is used in ski lifts to power the motors that move the lift chairs or cable system. This allows for a more efficient and reliable transportation system for skiers and snowboarders to access the slopes. Additionally, electricity can be used to power lights and heating systems in ski lift stations and shelters.

the ski lifts seat is placed on several different cables or wheels which are turning at different speeds. when the seat comes to pick u up it isn't actually fixed on the cable you see, but on a steel wheel placed next to the cable. the seat will then change the place of grip ( releases from the wheel) and passes to the cable which is travelling at a higher velocity) at the arrival the same action will be done. it will again pass from the cable to a wheel, then back to the cable and then it will travel back to the bottom station. the longer your pick up area wants to be the bigger your wheels will need to be. apparently in some place this wheel has been replaced with another cable or chain which also creates a second parallel circuit, but the principal stays the same
