Which component stops the chairlift at top and bottom landings?

• A. Directional Limit Switches
• B. Final Limit Switch
• C. Swivel Seat Check
• D. Chairlift Clearances

Answer: (A)

End-of-travel stopping is handled by limit-switch devices in the chairlift drive control. When the chairlift moves toward a landing, a directional limit switch is activated by a sensing mechanism along the track. This switch interrupts power to the drive and typically engages braking so the chair stops precisely at the landing. Because there is a switch configured for each travel direction, the same mechanism reliably stops the lift at both the top and bottom landings. Other options aren’t responsible for this stopping action: a swivel seat check relates to seat orientation, chairlift clearances refer to spacing to avoid contact, and a final limit switch may exist in some systems but doesn’t specifically govern stopping at landings in both directions.
