This detachable surface lift is a true part of POMA’s history since Jean Pomagalski invented the world’s first system, installed in 1936 at the Alpe d’Huez (France).
This detachable surface lift can be adapated and installed as close as possible to the shape of the ski slopes, thanks to its possibility of having angles in line. It is also popular for avoiding to have towhangers runing empty on line, which is really usefull out of operation with a empty line cable for snow grooming or wind case. The system has become a ski-area essential. There are thousands of POMA installations all over the world, especially in North America where it is still called the “POMALIFT”. It has also been installed in indoor ski domes over the past few years.
