 J-bar, T-bar, and platter lifts are employed for low-capacity slopes in large resorts and small local areas.These consist of an aerial cable loop running over a series of wheels, powered by an engine at one end.Hanging from the rope are a series of vertical recoiling cables, each attached to a horizontal J- or T-shaped bar – which is placed behind the skier's buttocks or between the snowboarder's legs – or a plastic button or platter that is placed between the skier's legs.
