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. 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. Technical Information for lifts". SkiLifts.org. Archived from the original on 2007-02-06 . Retrieved 2007-04-16. Loop parallel to boat, but the uprights are too short so the tops end up on the flat section of the bottom of my Taran. They work for all my other boats.

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. 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]

GALINTEL® Galvanized Lintel J-Bar™

In the simplest case, a rope tow is where passengers grab hold of a rope and are pulled along while standing on their skis or snowboards and are pulled up a hill. The grade of this style of tow is limited by passenger grip strength and the fact that sheaves (pulleys that support the rope above the ground) cannot be used.

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 first surface lift was built in 1908 by German Robert Winterhalder in Schollach/ Eisenbach, Hochschwarzwald, Germany, and started operations February 14, 1908. [2] Our J bars are made from robust tube steel and are factory painted for a long life. 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.As with all quality GALINTEL® products, the J-Bar™ Shelf Beam is provided with a full product warranty and safe load tables. Typical Uses 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.

Some other notable examples are the nearly 240-metre (800ft) carpet in Burnsville, USA, which has an overpass over a ski run, [17] 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 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. Jeremy Davis. "The History of Vermont Skiing: One Hundred Years of Growth".

A rope tow consists of a cable or rope running through a bullwheel (large horizontal pulley) at the bottom and one at the top, powered by an engine at one end. Jeffries, Jane (Jun 5, 2015).
