Drag lift is more generic - both t-bar and platter (and rope_tow) are subtypes of drag lift. The distinction between t-bar, platter and rope_tow is very important to some people (particularly inexperienced skiers). In some areas like Austria the t-bar is more popular whereas in France you see only platters.
