What is the maximum number of persons per lift?

• A. Slack-Chain Device
• B. Code Data Plate
• C. Clearance Requirements
• D. Chairlift Capacity

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is the passenger capacity rating for a lift—the number of people the lift is approved to carry at one time. This maximum is set by the chairlift’s design and safety rating, and is usually shown on the equipment’s data plate or specified by the manufacturer. That rating is what we call the chairlift capacity. The data plate may include the exact figure in terms of number of persons or total weight, but the concept you’re identifying is how many people the lift can carry at once. The other items don’t define this limit: a slack-chain device relates to tensioning, a code data plate is where important data is posted, and clearance requirements deal with space around the lift.
