I will get some up ASAP. I should have attached some when I posted this.

I am building a large ski resort with multiple fixed grip chairlifts and one detachable. I am having problems with the fixed grip and I haven't done more than the frame on the detachable. the problems I am having with the fixed grip are simple, but I cannot figure out how to fix them. the chairs jam up a lot and the rope derails easily, both of which can damage the entire lift. on the detachable I need a small grip that can detach and reattach at the terminal, but flow easily through support and hold down sheaves. I am trying not to spend too much, but I want all of the lifts to work right. I am using power functions XL motors to power them. the detachable will be mostly technic (the frame anyway, I will use regular bricks for the outside), but the rest is made with classic bricks. My lifts with a lower capacity (one or two place chairs) work better, but I would like to have a triple and a quad, and the detachable will be a 6 seat (the first for LEGO?). Also building two manual T-bars, but nothing has gone right on those. Of the six motorized lifts, two are working, one is close, one isn't working, and two are incomplete (including the detachable).

I am working on a ski resort myself, and the problems with the string slipping on the bullwheels has happened to me too. I fixed it, and the problems I found were the material for the string and the chair weight to steepness ratio. the steeper the slope, the harder it will be to carry the chairs, so I recommend either decreasing the slope or making the chairs lighter. Also, put rubber liners on the bullwheels, using either LEGO parts or rubber bands.
