My ski area is getting a fixed Partek quad, so I thought I would try to find a web site, and I found one, sure enough. http://www.partekski...s.com/index.htm :)

Wow, Partek finally got a website.

I wonder if their detatchable system will take off in the market.

Interesting. Not very customizable, but the lifts dont look too bad. I also wonder about their detachable systems. Only time will tell.

the new partek triple at bradford is nice, the towers seem to have more catwalk then your average tower, which i assume would help out alot in maitnence

[edmontonguy]

Alright i didn't Get to skiing there since they have added the chairs but from what i have gathered is that the chairs are POMA though if they are new or used i do not know

[SkiBachelor]

I will find out this summer when I visit Sunshine Village. :)

[Dr Frankenstein]

Partek lifts needs redesign.

[ODDfreakPERSON]

why i like their chairs?

or do you mean the site? because then i would agree with you

[Dr Frankenstein]

Chairs. And maybe the website.

[edmontonguy]

The chairs resemble the older Doppelmayr's and in a way The hanger arms seem to attach like Leintner's

[ODDfreakPERSON]

if you look at an empty partek chair from the side it looks like an upside-down question mark :)

[iceberg210]

I totally agree on the upside down question mark thing

Partek has committed to the development of a detachable quad lift system. We are currently in the design phase and will have prototypes ready for testing by spring-summer of 2005. The decision to enter this market has arisen from requests by Ski Area operators and the consolidation of existing manufacturers. Our objective is to broaden our product line and to be as competitive in detachables as we are in the fixed grip market. The development of such a complex system is a monumental undertaking for Partek. Our focus will remain on safety, functionality and reliability of the equipment. As this project evolves, updates will be posted to our web site. Upon successful testing we will offer our detachable product to the market.     
All inquiries are welcome and we would greatly appreciate an opportunity to quote on your equipment needs.
Sincerely,

Hagen G. Schulz
President

That will be interesting to see another detachable manufacturer. I wonder if they will use the same style 'question mark' chairs (good description)

[Dr Frankenstein]

I hope not.

[edmontonguy]

I wonder what the terminal design will be? A Completely new design or an extention of the current Fg design.

[SkiBachelor]

Maybe we could e-mail Partek and see if it has any concept drawings for the new hsq design?

[CAski]

Let's just hope that they have better PR than the other companies.
