Staedeli bought by Garaventa Goldau in 1991

Wait, those look like Vonrolls. Are you sure those are stadeli?

Here is another pic of the tow and looking at the base.

How do you deduce?? Guarantees no VonRoll. You lie wrongly. From where point does you that??

[crazyskier91]

If you go to this topic : http://www.skilifts....p?showtopic=918 you will see that you say the HST is a Vonroll. That is the same lift pictured above. I'm sorry if I offended you.

[crazyskier91]

A question for you Meir Michael, what manufacturer would you say built this lift?

I am not Mike Europe. But there is my pictures. <_<

[crazyskier91]

Ok I never meant to say you were wrong, but compare this which is the old vonroll gondola @sunshine, with oyur picture of the Staedeli gondola posted above. Compare the towers.

Looks like Leitner-Poma :P .

[crazyskier91]

Sorry the new gondola is on top of the old Vonroll towers.

all of the old double chairs at toas NM are stadeli infact the origanl lift #1 double chair, replaced in 89 by a Poma fg quad, but reincarnated as 7th heven lift was the first chair built by Stadeli anywhere. The lift is around 45- 50+ years old now granted its new alingment is about one 1/3 as long and about half the vert.

Original Von Roll Tower:


Not the same Tower like Städeli.

Was Stadeli bought by Doppelmayr because it looks like I see a lot of Stadeli parts used on Doppelmayr's lifts these days and vise versa. Now I know who built the lifts at Soldier Mountain, Idaho.

I noticed the same thing too...look at the tower head on that gondola, it's alot like the ones Doppelmayr uses now...same with the old grips

[crazyskier91]

Towers are the same as the Stadeli double pictured above.

I never kenw that stadeli made so many lifts. I still think that they look like Von Rolls though <_<

I'm the guy who maintains http://www.jacomet.ch/themen/skilift - thanks for linking my site, Brad :) As you see on this page I met Walter Staedeli (actually, spelled Städeli in german, but you frequently see Stadeli or Staedeli in english) in the WSO factory in 1985 when I was a kid - nowadays, I'm still into skilifts, especially Staedeli T-Bars, I got some Ts at home as well. So if anyone has questions, don't hesitate to ask. THE swiss guy who knows *everything* about lifts is Michael Meier as frequent readers may have noticed. I will probably meet a guy who designed T-Bars in the 50s this summer - his son already wrote to me that Mr. Staedeli afterwards got the same patent for the later-on Staedeli T-Bars. I'll post some information here or on my site asap.

Do you know the length of that Hall double and if it could be relocated

[crazyskier91]

The Double I do not know the length of but I know the vertical rise is 190' feet. The lift hasen't been maintained for at least 7 years so it would make one heck of a repair project. It would need a new drive, new carriers and a new cable. I am sure that the county of Lambertville(who owns the land and lifts) would be happy to sell it to get rid of it. The pony tow however would need a bit of maintenence on the engine and you would need to get the cable back on the bullwheel but it is set to run other wise. The ropetows are a complete loss in my opinion.

[snowboardguy]

It seems a lift can be built by like 15187156165188 differant companies then just glued together...---
