Garaventa AK 400 Detachable Grip

Poma Omega Grip	This is the Poma Omega detachable grip on the chair rail.
Poma Omega Grip	The grip's two coil springs have been taken off from the grip and have been placed in the yellow canisters which you can see on the terminal floor in yellow.
Poma Omega Grip	Another view of the grip without the coil springs on the contour.
Poma Omega Grip	Here is a close up of the mobile jaw and principle rollers. Notice how the principle rollers are all chipped? We believe this is caused by the formation of ice on the wheels and when they grip enters the terminal, the rollers can't turn so they heat up do to frictoin and this causes the principle rollers to break up like this. Note: This is our assumption of why the grip's principle rollers break up like this, not an actual fact.
Poma Omega Principle Roller	Here is a better shot of one of the principle rollers from the Omega grip. Notice the coil spring in the back in the yellow canister!
Compression Rail	Off goes the grip down the compression rail after it's been cleaned and rebuilt.
Grip Detach Safety Switch	This device monitors the position of the cable in a horizontal and vertical plane.
Auxiliary Diesel Motor	This monster engine is the lift's auxiliary diesel motor and is used in case a power failure or the lifts main electrical motor isn't working properly.
PTO Assembly	This device is what accelerates and decelerates a carrier in the terminal.
Electric Motor	This is the electric motor which is the main power source that makes the lift work.
