that would be great if we could see any concept drawings

We just got this dropped on us yesterday- we may be building a Partek this summer. Take this with a VERY large dose of skepticism, because nothing is confirmed yet, but we've got bids out to rebuild or replace C-1 lift (the one we bought from A-Basin). The lift would be lengthened to about twice its current length, along with added snowmaking and a warming hut. This is primarily to increase our early/late season beginner terrain, as we currently have about nothing for those times. As I said, skeptical at best, but we might actually be doing something out of the ordinary this summer...

Alright, lets keep an eye on Partek's installation sheet for the lifts planned to be installed this summer. It's interesting that Intrawest would buy a Partek lift, but I guess Itrawest has when it took over Mountain Creek, NJ.

I'm not certain what may be going in- it may be that we find a couple dozen Heron carriers and either find a Heron drive terminal or build our own (my personal favourite idea). We don't want to use the existing one because it's downright scary to work in. I don't know if you can see from this shot, but there's lots of places to fall through into the bullwheel spokes. Yan, while doing the relocate/modification, convinced Copper it would be better if he built an all-new drive instead of using the original Heron structure, and this is what we got.

It may be that Partek comes in cheaper than Poma or DoppelmayrCTEC- we'll have to see. My bosses are leaning towards an all-new lift rather than trying to extend our existing one. No matter what happens, it could be an interesting late summer up here.

Well It doesnt surpise me that Mountain creek bought a partek, since geo-graphically, the company is less then 30 minutes away from the mountain.

Gentlemen,

The new chairs at Sunshine Village are indeed Partek chairs with custom hangers to fit the Mueller grips. Partek also supplied new chairs on Mueller lifts for two other resorts in the Canadian Rockies that year. FYI, Bernie Moser of Mueller Lifts, Inc. is the sales agent for Partek in western Canada.

Re: Partek Detachable

By this time next year all of your questions will have been answered. The first lift will be constructed next year. Details as to the identity of the customer and designs will be released early 2005.

Welcome to the forum, Partek person! And thanks so much for the information. Hope you continue to come back on occasion and contribute.

Well all I can say is that I hope Partek has success in the HS market which i still think is overcrowded and that there should be a manufacture that specailizes in FG lifts. Any way I hope the Partek HS's are as good looking as the FG.

Thanks for the positive comments Erik.

long live the upside-down questionmarks! B) :D

partek, what is your job at partek?

Do we have any pics of the Partek Lifts?

Partek has pictures of its lifts on its website. But no, Skilifts.org currently does not have any images of any partek lifts that we own the copyright to.

i wish i took pics of the new one at bradford, i was there like 50 times this year...maybe next year

true................

looking for some good backgrounds of partek lifts :)

Perhaps some of the new Partek users can upload some in the gallery.
